Learning a new language is a
challenge every single day. Firstly because you might have opportunity to
practice as much as possible and often it is not possible when you live in a
country where not too much people speak it. Secondly because you have to learn
it for whole life.
The experience to be in a country
like the USA and to be able to put in practice everything that I have learnt in
Brazil is amazing. However I realized everyday here that I must keep studying
more and more when I go back to my own country.
The worst thing that can happen
when you are talking English with someone is when the words disappear of your
mind, and you try to reminder or explain in another way. It has been happing a
lot in my journey in Philadelphia mainly when I have to talk with a
English-native-speaker.
Other thing that has been happening
a lot here is not understand what you asked for. Then I ask to person to repeat
slowly and instead it, the person speaks loudly in the same way who he/she did
before. At least it is a funny situation.
Although I have had some
difficulties in my way in use English every day here in Philly, the experience
to be living real language situation has been unique in my life. I am complete
aware about how it will enhance my personal English skills, but mainly how it will
be able to make me understand more about new culture, different country and that people are people in anywhere in the
world, with they variegate behavior and idiosyncrasy.
