[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because I am not American and it is significant effort for me to socialize with Americans. Is my accent ok? Am I saying all the right things? Etc etc Easier to just be by myself unless there is no way out of it [/quote] That’s interesting because most new immigrants like to practice their English. A lot of Eastern Europeans and Russians in my area. One woman from Russia had a husband unexpectedly transferred to US. She had no English but practiced constantly. It was work listening to her struggle with English but worth it. Don’t worry about saying the right things. People understand. [/quote] Wow, did you really just immigrant-splain to her why it’s not okay for her to take a break from the stress of being in a foreign country? SMH. [/quote]
