I have to wake up at 5AM right now.

This post is for casual conversation if you don’t feel like making a post of your own.

    I am taking a class to learn a second language. The things I am having trouble with are the things I have trouble with in my native language (English) as well. Such as:

    • speaking in front of others
    • thinking of things to say
    • taking too long to say something because I need to prepare the wording in my head to make sure I am precise and will not be misunderstood (and get misunderstood anyway)
    • not rambling once I do start saying something
    • understanding what other people are saying when there is a lot of background noise
    • making eye contact

    Thankfully as soon as the lesson is over I can go directly home and be alone for several hours.

      Learning more languages is always great, so definitely keep it up. But yeah those aren’t things that learning a new language can help you with. I also struggle with basically all of these, but don’t let that deter you!

      May I ask what language you’re learning?
