My first way studying english in Galway, Ireland!
Hello! Last week was my first week in Ireland. I'm here for 6 months and I would like to learn as much as I can this language. I'm mexican and I took english classes (with american teachers) a long time ago so I've forgotten to many grammar rules ... I'm having a lot of problems with the irish accent ... irish people speak really fast and their pronounciation is in a some point between american and british accent ... I've felt so frustrated this week? Can anyone give me any advice? ... I'm so scared to talk with native speakers ... :(

You shouldn't be scared! You write really, really well, and I bet you speak quite well too!! You've probably remembered more grammar than you realize. :)

Hola Jaime,
Espero que toda va bueno ahora en Galway. Es mí ciudad favorito en Irlanda por supeusto!
I went to Canada to University when I was your age. I remember the first week or two was hard and they speak English there! I am sure you will enjoy it more and you will not want to leave in the end! Go to any pub near Shop Street and you will mysteriously feel less nervous after a few drinks!:)
Try to get out to Connemara too, but I know that sometimes it is hard to travel much when you are a student.

You're in Ireland... A country that's famous for its beer. If you go to a pub, and have one or two beers, the locals will appreciate you being social, and the beer will help you be less nervous.
Don't be afraid to ask people to speak slowly. And if they have had more than 1 or 2 beers, they might need reminding regularly!!!
The Irish are wonderful social people, and if you make an effort to interact with them, they will definitely make you feel welcome.

¡Hola Jaime! Estoy irlandés y puedo ayudarte con tu inglés. Vivo en Tyrone cuatro horas desde Galway más o menos.
You write very well in English. If you speak anywhere near as good as you write you will have no problems being understood. If you want to talk on Skype add me and I'll send you my Skype name.
¡Buena suerte!
