Think about "how to tell"... or my first meeting for English communicate communication

A short time ago, I was in a meeting of people who learning English learners who and came to meet each other together for conversation... We were in a cafe, drinking tea and speak talking. Ask for me I was asked -- what interesting thing happened with to you on a this week? )) Hah... I started to tell about the film "A Thousand Words", with Addy Merfy, and but could not choose the right words for my story... I didn't know how to say talk about the meaning of the movie... I would say "aaaa... ok... this film is about a man and a tree.. aaa... they connected with each other and when (I didn't knew the word "leaf" and say on said it in Russian) fall on it fell to the ground, men begin the man began to feel troubled himself bad.... oh, it's dificalt difficult -- to tell on in English, when I know only a little few words and phrases on in English. My story finished on in Russian, because I much think thought too much about "how to tell", and I was really shy on in that meeting...
