Writing challenge. My foreign friend A few weeks ago I met a foreign student. His name is David and he's from Ecuador. His native language is Spanish but we speak English. To be honest, David is only one I can speak English. If you have ever spoken foreing language, you know how it can be difficult. You have to remember grammar and at the same time you need think what are you talking about. Sometimes I don't even know simple words to explain something usual. Yesterday David said me that he liked different forms of my hair. He meant my plaits. I answered him that day I didn't know right words too. It was funny. I know, it's not so effective like I talk to native English speaker, but I learn to speak without fear and feel free this way. I'm so grateful to David for understanding and patience. Besides, now I know a lot of information about Ecuadorian culture: New Year's traditions, the weather, the most popular tourist attractions. I would know nothing about Ecuador without David. And, of course, I've told him about Russian culture and helped him with Russian language.
