Learning a foreign language Hello! My name is Olya. I am learning English. I have been studying this language since I was 6, I know a lot of words, but it is still a bit difficult for me to express myself, especially in conversations. I feel shame because of my accent, I am afraid to make a mistake so much. All that stops my speaking :) I am working in a Moscow departure of an international company. The head office is located in London. In our Moscow office we speak Russian and English, so with my Russian colleagues I speak our native language, with my Grand Manager I speak English because he is Canadian, with some of my colleagues I speak German because they are from Germany. I work here only for one month, and I am still a bit shocked of too much English around me. When I speak with my Canadian boss or colleagues from the head office, I feel like I am awfully afraid to make a mistake in my language. My deepest wish right now is to find a practice in English, to find some people I can speak English with. I need a lot of English :))) Ah, looks so funny. But when I am in my office and feeling such a shame because of my unknowledge of some words, it doesn't being funny at all :)
