Well, that's what I always ask to my friends who always tell me not to speak to them in English… They only answer me with a smirk and the like and when I asked them why they just smile… There's nothing wrong in speaking English, besides, it will help you improve your language skills. NOW, tell me, are you afraid to speak English? Why or why not?Smile

Hi Ervic,
I, for one, am not afraid at all to speak English? I mean, why should we be? If your friends refuse to do so, that's their problem but you should never be discouraged. Do you think it's because they have poor command of the language?  Even so, if they really want to learn, they should not be afraid of making mistakes. I am sure you are not. I hope to read more of your comment.
Regards,
Chakra

Hi! Well, I already talked to them, they said that they just want to enjoy our conversation in a way where everybody understands…From that point then, I realize that not all people are fond of speaking English…Though they know that I speak our language a little…

Me, I've never spoken english with someone face to face because no one in the environment I live doesn't speak itCry. But if I imagine the situation, the stress comes over to my stomach. Well I know nothing is impossible, everyone here can pass this hard time.
