complete blackout Sometimes it's very difficult to express myself in English or Arabic because while I am talking to the other person, I am translating words from Dutch to English or Arabic in my head! I don't know if there are more people with the same problem. It's really frustrating, especially when I am having an interesting conversation and I get stuck, because I can't find the right words. My face turns red and I can feel the sweat on my hands. : ( When this happens, it's like having a complete blackout. My brain freezes, and I don't know how to continue the conversation. I feel completely lost and I try to continue the conversation but without expressing myself. I am glad that this doesn't happen on a daily base. But if you have tips or advice please let me know. : )
