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.

It could be that you speak too much English, you forget. That happened to me, I use to speak fluent laos and now all I can do is understand it. If you try speaking more Russian then it should all come back to you.

If its your first language then how could you flunk it? ydi
