I understand what you are going through. I have family members that is hard for them to fit in. It was also hard for me to fit in but i didn't give up. Life has may events that change us but we must accomplish them.
That was me at some point. I remember I used to ask things like "how do you say piano in English?" and they answered piano, or "how do you say pizza/spaghetti in English?" and they answered pizza/ spaghetti. And then I thought, "Learning English is easy!!" but it really wasn't. My friend always helped me though. Now I am Angis' friend, and try my best to help her.
I agree with you because a lot of my family that come to the U.S. from Mexico struggle on learning to speak English. Some of them only know how to say hello. I think it will get easier for you to understand English if you keep practicing.
I understand where your coming from. I was in the same position at some point in my life. It was hard, but it will get easier. It just takes some getting used to.
I understand and agree! and also having to leave everything you had and that you love. leaving friends behind and family. That you are used to seeing every single day must be hard.
I can relate to Angeles because I was the same. I was born in Thailand so resettling in the United States was something that I had a hard time adapting to. To tell the truth, I'm still trying my best to live life in the United States although I hate the city and the foreign feelings I get from being surrounded by a place I'm still not used to even though it's been 10 years. Sometimes, I hate the people living in this place, too, but I try to make the best out of everything and I can say that not everything is bad for me. As for the language, I can speak it and use it, but there are still many things I still need to learn about it. I wouldn't say I'm fluent in English because I found myself searching for what something means most of the time. I still stutter around words when I read aloud but I can read smoothly when I read it silently to myself. It's kind of weird.
