Language barrier
I feel there is a language barrier when I speak English with someone. At the moment, I'm able to communicate with it but that's it. When you and I have very clear topics or purpose to talk, it's OK. But my expression is too simple and not enough, I think. Therefore, the conversation stops once we finish it. If I could say some jokes or understand his jokes, I would enjoy English conversations...
To survive in the US, I've practiced and learned English, so my English is just practical. Fortunately, I got a good job and am able to get by somehow. What I want to do is getting into the community. I'm isolated.
When I speak my native language, I'm a funny and passionate and confident person... well, I believe. However, I must look a shy, quiet and unconfident person whenever I speak English. I always think that it's not real me.
I understand that only I can change myself. That's why I joined italki. I know it takes time. Maybe it'll be a long journey.
if you have had similar feeling while you're learning languages, please share with me!

Hi Greyson,
Yes, I understand I should talk to native English speakers more. I have many of American friends, but I might not have tried enough because I didn't want to get out from my comfortable zone... I'll try!

Oi Leo,
Obrigado! Thank you for your comment. I agree that spaeking another language creates my new character. I'll try to get along with new ME well.

Hi Vega,
Thank you for your comment. Actually, I don't watch TV so much. Maybe that's why I didn't have a sense of American humor. According to the comments, Spanish speakers must be good at learning new languages! I wish I could be.
