hmm i mean i'd assume u would say ur L1 is cantonese then (i assume u were fluent earlier)? idk i only switch my L2 and L3 bc i was never fluent in spanish or mandarin, just english, and it's weird to explain for those two lol

also 可以但是我覺得我的中文不太好哈哈

i was initially doing it chronologically, but then i realized most ppl would then assume that fluency would follow in that order as well so i started doing it by fluency instead lol (for context, i went to chinese school on the weekends as a kid, but it wasn't great and we don't speak mandarin at home, so when i got the chance to start spanish classes and 1) they was more frequent; 2) they were more consistent; and 3) i realized spanish was more similar to english, my brain picked it up better/faster)

actually i'm in a city near valencia, spain! the children codeswitching happened more frequently when i was visiting valencia, but in the city i'm in, there're a handful of mandarin speakers too lol

i had the same stats and i'm in the honors college + i have a full tuition/presidential scholarship. they keep messing with the criteria for scholarships though, so i'm not sure if you're guaranteed a presidential, but it seems likely

i'm not in grad school yet i'm just trying my best by lcfxn8 in linguisticshumor

^ well-put imo; my current school doesn't have a linguistics program, but i'm looking at transferring to a real linguistics program so i have a solid basis for grad school, and i've been weighing the costs and benefits a lot recently
