That was so embarrassing...
I have always thought that learning English was important. So many things to learn... so many things to know show. But recently, I found realized that I've been in a comfort area zone with my English's skills, pretending that I knew enough, and hoping that maybe if someday I go to any place where the people speak in English, I can "defend myself".
A few days ago, a couple was in a their car, asking for an address, in English. So, my mom told them: "mi hija habla ingles, esperen, la voy a llamar" (my daugther speaks English, wait a minute, I'll call her.)
I understood all the things that the couple told said to me. They asked how to go to the city's center, the indications directions were easy or so I thought I guessed. So, But when I was prepared tried to speak.... wow... my mind was empty. Nothing cross came into my mind. No words. I tried to say something, but I couldn't remember anything. I started to stammer, and the couple was so angry, I suppose they had to hurry.
Something embarrassing had to happen to make me finally understand that learning English is a constant process, if I don't practice and I will stay in this comfort zone area and maybe I'll always have these awkward moments.

I always thought that learning English was important. So many things to learn...So many things to show. But recently, I've found that I've been in a comfort area more comfortable with my English's skills, pretending that I knew know enough, and maybe if some day I go to any some place where the people speak in English, I can "defend me" (word choice sounds strange in English).
