is this really about learning the English language, or is this about learning insular colloquialisms and slang? you never stop learning slang, even natives....

Right this is a pretty awful example of English as a language. Like if I talk to a skibidi brainrot kid today I'd hear all sorts of shit I wouldn't understand at all like:

"Bruh I literally I need to get on my sigma grindset and start mewing so I can looks max and pull that shmlawg gyatt with the rizzle. Then I can stop gooning like a beta sussy imposter. Bet she won't fanum tax my bussin' glizzy or there'll be a whole bunch of turbulence and I'd literally hit the griddy on her. Only in ohio tho. Skibidi!"

I wouldn't really say that means I don't understand English as a language. Just that people are weird as hell with slang.
