My potato life

I always thought that I wasn't gonna improve any of my English. I'm Ive been studying it as a second language since I was in elementary school, but it just seems impossible. I gotta have to/must say, said that my school had a lot of United States emigrants's sons so they spoke (because you said "my school had" then speak would turn past tense, "spoke fluently") it (unnecessary "it") very fluently and I was just ashamed that I wasn't able to memorize/remember how to say cat, dog or "Teacher, may I go to the bathroom, please?" I was so overwhelmed that I had to speak out loud (out-loud) in front of everyone and I was just gonna embarras myself... that's why I sat straight/tight ? in my desk and tried to be invisible, if no one can see me, then no one can ask me anything.

As the time goes went by and I went to junior high school, I managed to pass my English classes and to avoid speaking in front of the class. I actually felt like I wasn't able to understand anything but one day I did a quiz and I don't know how I got an A-, but I was so happy, I didn't think I could do it. I noticed that the answers were right because they sounded right to me... that's when I realized that I can understand (or "that I understood") more than I could imagine.

Then, in between junior high school and high school I started to listen, like really listen to hard rock, almost all in English. Then movies without subtitles in Spanish but English. ("Then movies with English subtitles instead of Spanish subtitles"?) I think thats what you are trying to say :P

At/In college, almost all of my researches are was in English, but now I realize I'm not really good at writing and/or speaking it, just understanding (listen and reading), and that's because I never let go of my elementary school shame and I always felt judged when I had to say or write something. I'd really hate to be judged about/for my English (or anything, actually) even if that happens just one or two times (or "just a few times") in my entire life.

When I signed up in on/to this website I was thinking about only on learning German, but I've been thinking that here is the perfect way to start everything fresh and improve my writing and speaking skills in this language, too. I'll love if you could correct this entry and make me some comments, I know I repeat a lot certain words, but it's important for me if you could point them out and gave me some synonymous to use instead.

Thank you for reading <3

PS. Here is a cute/creepy potato for you. Yeah, the title is the first thing I thought when I see the picture.

Great job! You arent too far off, keep it up ☺
