The conversation with a guy from Germany. This is the first part
Two days ago, I had a conversation with a guy from Germany. His fluency in English is much faster than mine. However, I could understand him well because I know all words that he spoke. Nevertheless, I could not tell and formulate quickly some of my thoughts that I wanted to say to him. That is the reason why I will be trying to make some sentences with my thoughts that I was not able to tell him in English during that discussion.
First of all, this guy told me that Estonia was a digital state, it made Estonia the developed country (it's also truth for these days). The reason for this statement is that all citizens and people, who have a residence permit for living in Estonia, can do all operations through the internet. I mean that they can pay for the housing and utilities payments or submit applications or documents to the state organizations and so on through the internet.
I needed to tell this guy that Russia has the same service for people, and after the coronavirus crisis, my native country develops this one further. However, I was able not to form my thoughts about this topic quickly.
This guy told me that he improved his English through watching videos with native English speakers. As he said, he has been watching how native English speakers speak and trying to simulate them.
I wanted to ask him what English videos he watched. I meant, was it adapted or non-adapted videos for learners, but I forgot the word "adapted".

A conversation with a guy from Germany. First part
Two days ago, I had a conversation with a guy from Germany. His English is much better than mine. However, I could understand him well because I knew all the words he spoke. Nevertheless, I could not say and formulate quickly some of the thoughts that I wanted to say to him. That is why I will now try to make some sentences of my thoughts that I was unable to tell him in English during that time.

The reason for this statement is that all citizens and people who have a residence permit to live in Estonia, can do all operations through the internet. I mean that they can pay housing and utility bills, submit applications or documents to state bodies and so on through the internet.

The conversation with a guy from Germany. This is the first part
Two days ago, I had a conversation with a guy from Germany. His fluency in English is much faster than mine. (He speaks more fluently than I do / He speaks English faster than I do). However, I could understand him well because I know all the words that he spoke. Nevertheless, I could not express some of my thoughts and formulate them quickly enough what I wanted to say to him. That is the reason why I will be trying to make some sentences from my thoughts (from that day) that I was not able to express to him in English during that discussion.
First of all, this guy told me that Estonia was a digital state which made Estonia a developed country (it's also the truth for these days). The reason for this statement is that all citizens and people, who have a residence permit for living in Estonia, can do all administrative and financial operations through the internet. I mean that they can pay for the housing and make utility payments or submit applications or documents to the state organizations and so on through the internet.
I needed to tell this guy that Russia has the same service for its people, and that after the coronavirus crisis, my native country will develops this even further. However, I wasn't able not to form my thoughts about this topic quickly enough.
This guy told me that he improved his English through watching videos with native English speakers. As he said, he has been watching how native English speakers speak and trying to emulate them.
I wanted to ask him what English videos he watched. I meant, were they adapted or non-adapted videos for learners, but I forgot the word "adapted".
