Frustrating conversation
Just today I was talking with someone from the United States and I can’t remember a time when I have had so much trouble trying to express what I wanted to say, it’s as if a had forgotten all I knew! There are days when I feel that my ideas flow so smoothly that I think I can say whatever I want with little or no trouble, but what happened to me during that conversation was, at the very least, frustrating, and inexplicable at that.
However, no matter how frustrating it was, I see it as a reminder that I still have a lot to learn and an opportunity to test my immunity to frustration, as I like to call it :D
Hi, thank you very much in advance for your corrections and suggestions.

Frustrating conversation
Just today, I was talking with someone from the United States and I can’t remember a time when I have had so much trouble trying to express what I wanted to say; it’s as if I had forgotten all I knew! There are days when I feel that my ideas flow so smoothly that I think I can say whatever I want with little or no trouble, but what happened to me during that conversation was, at the very least, frustrating, and inexplicable at that. (Sounds awkward. Maybe you could say "the conversation was frustrating and, even more, inexplicable."
However, no matter how frustrating it was, I see it as a reminder that I still have a lot to learn and as (better) an opportunity to test my immunity to frustration, as I like to call it :D

Very good! It is frustrating when things like that happen, but you seem to be doing very well. Keep up your efforts! :)

There's no need to be frustrated over it. I'm glad you took the time to talk to me at all. That was actually the first time I've spoken to a native speaker orally. I've written a couple of times, but no one corrected the way "ciudad" sounded in my head. lol I think I'm getting the hang of este, ese, estos, y esos now, by the way. Gracias.
