The most difficult thing about practicing my English
Hi guys!
I want to share with all of you the most difficult thing about practicing English…… maybe this could sounds weird, but for me talking on the phone is very difficult and I really have a hard time trying to understand what the person is telling me, so the person has to repeat, at list twice, all the sentence, so I can get the main idea….. I don't know if this happen to everybody who's is learning another language, or if this only happen to me!!! I feel so afraid about talking on the phone in English… have this ever happen to any of you?

The most difficult thing about practicing my English
Hi guys!
I want to share with all of you the most difficult thing about practicing English…… maybe this could sounds weird, but for me talking on the phone is very difficult and I really have a hard time trying to understand what the person is telling me, so the person has to repeat, at list least twice, all of the sentence/the whole sentence, so I can get the main idea….. I don't know if this happens to everybody who's is learning another language, or if this only happens to me!!! I feel so afraid about talking on the phone in English… have has this ever happened to any of you?
**Hi! First of all, I just wanted to tell you that I thought this entry was written pretty well. Anyways, to answer your question- trying to understand a foreign language as it is being spoken is pretty hard. However, the more you listen to it and expose yourself to it, the easier understanding it gets! I am a native English speaker who is currently learning Spanish at school, and my teacher speaks Spanish everyday (obviously not at the speed it is typically spoken amongst native speakers), and I have grown accustomed to hearing it so I barely have to put effort into trying to understand it.

Wow I guess you can speak English well.
Me too. When I meet any foreginers on the street, I try talking with them. Natually I can't understand once time. So I ask for them "please speak easily and slowly. It is difficult to anyone.

I feel the same with Mandarin. I have to ask the person to repeat themselves so many times!

I agree, because talking on the phone feels a bit indirect. My teacher let me talk on the phone with her sister when I was in high school. It was much harder to understand her sister over the phone than her in person.
