Travelling to New York City Hi guys! On December of 2013 I was travelling to New York City to spent 6 months as a short term researcher at The City College of New York that is located in Upper West Side. It was definitely one of the most excitant moments of my life! I remember that I was so nervous at that time, first because I had never been out of my country before, second because I was travelling all by myself, without friends, family and husband. But I think that what really got me nervous was the fact that I would have to survive only speaking in English and despites I had done English classes pretty much all my life, I had never felt comfortable speaking in English. When I got in NYC and I had to talk only in English and understand what people were saying to me, I realized that my English was sucks. I know now that my English got better after this trip, but I still know that I have a lot to improve, especially on my conversation skills. So, if there is anyone who wants to be conversation partner, I would love that!! Thank you for your help.
