<human>: English is not my first language. My mother tongue is a South Asian language, and my parents, owing to our upper middle class South Asian background, are generally liberal, if a little over-protective. I grew up speaking English as my first language everywhere outside of home. At school, university and work.
Now living in Canada, I still speak in my first language at home, but all my thoughts are formed in English. As a result, my ability to communicate effectively in my first language is limited in terms of expressing my feelings and thoughts, and talking to my parents in English currently feels awkward, although they are perfectly fluent in it.

I am trying to communicate my true nature and grown-up thoughts to them, but just can't because I can't find the right way to say the words in my first language, and on the other hand, while I can perfectly formulate the feelings in English, it is bound to be slightly twisted by the time they take it in, as it reaches their head first, where it then gets translated to the first language, as is common with any normal human being.

Now I am trying to break this communication barrier in order to make them see me as an adult and for me to be able to express myself authentically in a way that they understand my thoughts perfectly.

Summarize the given text in a few sentences.
<bot>: I speak with my parents in my mother tongue, despite English being my dominant language. Can't communicate my thoughts and wants effectively.
