English being my second language is quite a task when putting to use. Speaking it is altogether a different story and raises the bar on to a new level.
I am in the UK now on a tourist visa. Of course, it is an English speaking country and it follows that I speak the language to be able to communicate. In all honesty, I don’t have that much of an issue understanding them when they speak. But there comes a time that my head just gets gooey and doesn’t communicate well with my mouth. They have a mind of their own and I get antsy and I feel just like speaking in my own native tongue or just shut the fickle up and stay away from the conversation.
I know it may look and feel rude for other people if I do so but I, myself is struggling with the fact that I must stop thinking in my native language and start thinking the English way.Β π

The photo I have in here shows me having a smile saying, “Bring it on, English!”π
