I have a friend who is Chinese and he struggles with grammar sometimes like he gets confused by the difference between “he” and “she” and every time he apologizes I’m like “dude you speak English infinitely better than I speak Chinese, you’re good”,
He/she is an interesting special case, as Mandarin didn’t really have those as separate concepts until they were imported from Western languages; even now, they’re pronounced the same. So I can understand your friend’s confusion.
