1. Lack of comprehension: Pretending to understand and speak a language can prevent you from fully understanding the language, its grammar, and its vocabulary. You may miss important details and nuances that would help you improve your language skills.
2. Limited Vocabulary: If you pretend to know words and phrases that you don’t actually know, you will have a limited vocabulary and will not be able to express yourself properly.
3. Errors in Pronunciation: Pretending to speak a language fluently can lead to errors in pronunciation, which can be difficult to correct later on.
4. Miscommunication: If you are not able to understand or express yourself correctly in a language, you can easily misunderstand others and cause miscommunication.
5. Damaged Confidence: Pretending to speak a language can damage your confidence in your language ability, making it harder to learn and speak the language in the future. It’s better to acknowledge your current level and keep working hard to improve with a clear and honest self assessment.
