Hello there.

I've moved to london in 2024, i've grow up not speaking english much.

But i've tried hard and learned how to speak the language.

I have a bit of accent to my toung so i cant speak fluently english like the most of you.

I've met few people form fab, but i feel like the speaking thing keeps holding me back.

Do you guys think it would be deal breaker to meet someone who cant speak english fluently?

I'm not a native English speaker, it hasn't stopped me. As long as the person understands the boundaries and is able to give informed consent, I see no issue. It's when the poor English becomes the excuse of breaking the boundaries when the problems start.

Your written English is excellent but if you're anything like most of us you find it easier to write and understand English than speaking it. We know a lot of people for who English is their second language including one of our fathers and several close relatives. For us it makes life more interesting

OP, you seem to have a good level of English as your post is clear and informative. I don't think you have anything to worry about.

We've made some fun connections with non native English speakers. We all listen to each other with more care, and consider our responses more. Both of which are massive positives. It also makes for interesting conversation learning about one another.

Definitely shouldn't hold you back from connecting with people. x Lo x

Absolutely not, if anything I find a slight accent more interesting. And let's face it quite a lot of English people don't speak fluent English.

A foreign accent (or foreign appearance) probably makes it less likely that a racist person would want to meet you.

Given that racist people are, by definition, incredibly unpleasant, I would see this as a positive thing

It's not a problem for most. Unfortunately it is a problem for some.

I love different accents, and after reading what you've written so clearly and thoughtfully, I honestly think the only people you'd lose are the ones you're probably better off avoiding anyway.

I, Sam, the lady, agree with this comment fully. If someone struggles to understand consent that’s where I draw the line.

But also for us as a couple we like the social side of swinging too and chatting in the bar or hot tubs. So if you don’t have an IQ higher than a cheese sandwich or you can’t understand our jokes due to a language barrier that might have an impact xx

People from other countries doesn't bother me

However I would be wary having sexy with someone I couldn't fully communicate with

Being immigrant myself who lived in this beautiful country for over 15 years - I faced the same issue. This is because most of the school teach you English from writing point of view ensuring that you can frame grammatical correct sentences. Rarely anyone gives attention on spoken part because you always chat with your friends and family in your native language. When I landed here, I was sent to Norfolk for work. I struggled to understand what the person at Tescos till said - with huge embarrassment and fear of annoying people in the queue I used to shake my head and say “yeah” to everything. When I remember those days, I laugh, as visiting Tesco and taking to the person at till was my biggest nightmare..ha ha. I think you will be alright over the period of time, just make sure you come across as a nice person to be around. Trust me I still struggle to understand certain British accents, and of course they would think the same for me with my accent too. Remember people here in UK are really nice and they will always give you enough time to complete your sentence.

English is my 4th or 5th language I learnt and I still have quite a strong accent. I think it is a nice ice breaker to get people to guess where I am from. Never felt it was stopping me.

Not being fluent in English isn't a problem. I bet your English is much better than most English people's second language.

Agree that it makes people listen more.
