My Three Englishes

There are three very distinct englishes I speak, never all at once, but I can switch easily in between them. They are: Romenglish (Romanian and english combined), my informal english, and my formal english. The first english is the english I use around my family members and my friends outside of school. I substitute words from each language as if they are one conjoined language. It goes something like this "Allo, what's up? I'm just doing nimic (nothing). How is ziua ta? (your day)" and you get the point. I rarely take into account when I use both languages, it just comes natural. Or sometimes I just speak english with a Romanian accent without noticing either. This however, only occurs when I'm with other Romanians which is basically any time I'm not in school. My informal english is more widely used, while I'm in school and with any other group of people besides adults. This, I use in day to day conversation with everyone around me its different than romenglish because its strictly english however it is different from formal because it is more casual. Instead of using words like "want to" I'd use "wanna" or "whats up" instead if "how are you". I sound more of myself using this form of english and am more likely to make jokes and express myself when speaking in this english rather than my formal english. It's chill.

My formal english, which is less frequently used because it requires the most brain power. With this type of english, I try my best to comply with grammatical conventions and use more academic sounding words. I write in this form of English, I feel like my brain has been rewired to write this way which is why being expressive in my writing always turn out awkward sounding. Nonetheless, this type of english is the one I use to deal with teachers, most adults, and its the type of english that will get me places. I feel like this type of English gets my points across most adequately and powerfully.
