Strange Language

My First Experience learning English was exciting and strange to me.  I looked at English words was When I was 14 years old back in my country. Where no one really spoke English so I was one of the few ones to learn English and be excited. First of all, My parent put me in private English classes so in my future it was going to help me with my job, I learned the Alphabets and started learning grammar, the start was easy and fun once I was on my 2nd year it started to get very hard and I started being nervous and did not go to classes anymore until I came to United States which English was the primary language. However, Being in United states was a hard chapter of  learning English, Every one spoke English and it felt like I was completely different then all of them and I wasn’t able to communicate with any of them because in my country I never communicated with anyone in English. Moreover, I learned English faster when everyone was communicating in English with me and I was in a situation that there was no one to translate for me and I had to somehow let people know what I’m trying to say, that made It easy for me to learn English very faster.  In conclusion, Learning English was strange and fun for me and I will still continue learning it because I still need a lot to learn.

     When I use english its kind of hard for me to communicate with people fast because sometimes i forget what word i was going to use, when i use english to talk to teachers i feel comfortable because i know they will understand me because they have lots of students which english is their second language, but when we go out with all friends its harder for me to communicate with them in english.
