You say useful, I say keeps it keeps me up all night every night.

Also, do you just think of the words or do you actually hear yourself saying them in your head?

I actively hear words usually in my own voice but I'm capable of mimicking other people too.

And counter point, being able to think stuff in my head prevents me from hurting a lot of people's feelings with what id like to actually say lol.

OH MY GOD THIS. I learned English kinda by accident, and I can speak it perfect in my head, doesn't even matter what accent, British, Scottish, American, doesn't matter. I can do every each and one of them in my head, but when I open my mouth, I sound like a broken record. Why I can almost perfectly write whole paragraphs, but I can't speak it.

Learned English by accident? I would hear the story behind that.

I mean, it's very simple, really. Back in 2020 I started watching English YouTube and twitch streams, and I just kinda learned. Prior to this in school I couldn't learn anything,
