Hi Mister Micawber,
I just would liked to tell you about my experience in the exchange program, It was a very good experience for me, very useful, thoughtful experience in so many aspects, as for my English, it was good, especially the night I arrived I was so confident because when they were asking me questions I was just answering so smoothly and fluently, it was too easy for me to answer I even didn’t think that English is a problem, I was just thinking about the questions and the dialogues.
before I arrive there I practiced talking with one of the passengers inside the plain :-p, so when I arrived the exchange I used a little bit on the oral dialogue, but after the first night I started to step back a little bit, I don’t know if it was that I confused because so many people were asking us so many questions or because every thing was just so new for me, or because I started to think of how to speak English rather than the speech, some thing happened which I can’t explain why I twisted like that, so that made some confusion that I lost control in matter to concentrate on the questions they ask, or my answers or my English, that was the hard point for me at that time, I even some times kept staying calm in order not to make any mistake in my English, I started to lose confident of my English, for reasons I still didn't realize it yet, But later I contacted my brother he told me that it's not important to show how well English you can speak, they understand you anyways, and no matter how hard you try to show you can speak a good English it won’t be like their English, so focus on what they ask you and your answers and the purpose of your being there, and Ideas you want to trade and exchange rather than the English, because you’re there in the exchange and they just want to hear from you stories, Ideas rather than anything else, and just use simple English to overtake it, and that was really right! When I started to think about the questions, answers the English was coming easily and smoothly even without thinking what words should I use, and the people there said that our English is good, and so many of them said that they liked our accent! Which I don’t know why they did like it! And as a whole it was good, but of course I can’t deny that some times I made horrible mistakes, and some times I didn’t ask questions or didn’t trade my ideas in order not to make mistakes which was wrong of me I shouldn’t care about the very detailed mistakes, but I am quite sure that next time when I speak English somewhere vocally there would be a huge difference between the two dialogue experiences! Now I am much more open minded about my English! much more confident But I think that I still need to learn more and more and speak more, and one of the good things that I learned was some Idioms which they use in their daily life, such like (we are heading to) instead of (we are going to) and so many other terms that they use it in their daily life. Oh, I forgot, it was also so easy to understand their speeches, their vocabulary was not so weird and strange!
At the last days when I used so much about every things and every thing became so familiar for me and every thing became so easier to handle with, the time was out by then and the exchange was over and I had to leave!
It was just ten days but very useful!
So thank you Mister Micawber for the supports you showed me before the exchange.
