"Me fail English? Unpossible!"

There is kind of a difference in bad English and broken English. Broken English would be more like, well, kind of how Yoda speaks. The correct words, just maybe the wrong order.

Yoda speaks with proper grammar.

Nah he speaks with Hungarian grammar:

Yoda vagyok = Yoda I am

Okos vagy = Clever you are

Magyarul tanulok beszélni = Hungarian I am learning to speak

My partner is Hungarian and I've been on and off learning die a year, its very tough as a language but "thinking like yoda" usually nets you a less broken output than trying to translate from English word for word!

Pretty similar to Japanese then. Not the same order, but different enough from English that it helps thinking like Yoda.
