    I’ll never forget one of my coworkers asking me what my first language was because, “I speak English as a second language I know what it sounds like, so what’s your first language?”

    My first language is English, I just speak it really poorly

      Could also be that they mistook your regional accent for the accent one has when learning it as a secondary language.
