Today, I'm not getting paid 400$ per month because I failed my Russian language proficiency test. Russian is my first language. FML

I guarantee that their are a lot of native English speakers would fail an English proficiency test to. You're test was probably just a bit two hard. Just except that you need too study harder and due better next time. Good luck.

Native speakers tend to have more improper grammar and usages of slang than those that learned a language in an educational environment. Learning a language naturally tends to leave more room for twisting the rules of that language's grammar. Those who learn a language in an educational setting end up learning rules of that language at the same time as they learn the language itself. Natural learning of a language tends to get the language before full understanding of the rules of that language is learned and understood.

That seems like a small amount to live on anyway. You dodged a bullet there. Take your language skills where they'll be appreciated.

#82, since it looks like a military test, $400 is more like a addon amount to a existing salary structure. Which is pure speculation of-course based previous comments :)

Yup I would argue that one. A lot of people will fail the English test if we had to take it to get a job. My god people be like what's a noun...
