- The second one is because I think that I lost have missed too many opportunities for knows to meet fantastic people just for because of the language, sometimes I feel ashamed when I speak in English in front of many people.

-And the third (and not less important) last but not least (this is a very common phrase in English) is because my boyfriend and his family and friends speaks speak in English, he is really patience with me but sometimes it's hard when I try to explain something more difficult, I need one a high level of fluency,

"Presentación" is one of those false cognates (it has a similar sounding word in English, but the word in English has a different meaning) Presentation in English means when you stand up in front of a group of people and give a speech. The best translation for presentación in English for the context you're using it is "introduction".

Hi everybody!

Hi!

This is my first entry here, my presentation.
My name is Mary. I was born in Ecuador but I have lived all my life in Spain. I feel Spanish. Now I live in London.
Obviously my mother language is Spanish. I try to learn English now. I think my level is very poor but this can change (in this notebook I try not to use google translate).
I have so many reasons why I learn English,

- the First one is for a job. I'm in an English country and it is absolutely necessary.

-the Second one is because I think I lost too many opportunities to know fantastic people just because of the language. Sometimes I feel ashamed when I speak English in front of a crowd.

-And third (and not least important) is because my boyfriend and his family and friends speak English. He is really patient with me but sometimes it's hard when I try to explain something more difficult and I need a higher level.
It is funny for me when I try to say something and his face is like (WTF?) and he just smiles. I feel confident with him but in the future he will introduce me to him family and obviously and I don't want to feel stupid in front of them.

That is enough for today. Thanks, guys for your help and we can learn together! :D
