Not very well. I can probably understand more than I could say, a few years ago I could say more Polish words.

I had no idea she was Australian, wow.
She is more pale than a dead corpse
Odd she didn’t take on her fathers surname. I wonder why.
To Gurrl
(Odd she didn’t take on her fathers surname. I

did she take up her mothers surname to sound more ethnic, i bet her last name is something like johnson
“Mia was raised under mother’s surname”
Also it says her dad’s name is Reid, which sounds like something you should try.
lmao
I love “ethnic” European surnames. Good for her for doing this.
I would always take a surname like “Diaz” over the typical Anglo ones like “Cooper” (yawn).
