Greetings, I understand you to be my peer group. I have always spoken English in a formal setting and it would be of great relief to me if you would help me practice speaking casually. I know from learning Malay that an individual who speaks formally is difficult to congregate with. In Madripoor I only spoke English to follow instructions and ask for clarification on tasks when Malay was not available. My mother was English but I was expected to speak Hindi while at home. I was tutored and there we also only spoke of English in a formal context. I do enjoy Sherlock Holmes but that is not helpful with modern or American slang. I would appreciate your help in this endeavor and joyfully anticipate meeting you.
