@Moodymare That is true and I always try to find some advantage in our misery - for example relationships with grandparents that our daughter can create… and as you said It won't be long :-)

Hey girls, would you take me among you even if I moved only from Slovakia to CR? Finally I've learned English, it was 6 years of blood and tears, than I worked only with Italians - and their English is probably worst on the Earth :mrgreen: :oops: finishing as a houshold woman talking only with a toddler and a baby… my Englis is slowly telling me good bye :oops:

Actually I am not capable of speaking fluently, I have to think so much about every word, I am frustrated. Moodymare, how long did it take you to speak fluently?

@Sepishka - my problem was that I spoke Czech with my husband at home and English when went out shopping etc. I was 3 month home then started to attend college and English classes for foreign people. That was 7 months. Then I started work at vets and my English was better. Then we moved so I could attend college and study to be veterinary nurse. So I'd say it took about year to speak fluently, chat and make jokes etc. - I mean when I daily spoke to colleagues at work.
I'd say if you would speak to your husband daily on different topics and you would watch news on tv for new words you would be ok in year time. Then it will get better quickly, you'll get their accent soon.
British were very kind to me when I couldn't find right word or misplaced some words in sentence. They quietly listened to me and were helpful.
I was thinking about Czech words, about what I want to say then translate that to English but that has gone quickly. You'll just think in English and then w
hen I came home to visit parents I was thinking in English and spoke Czech.

@Moodymare I have spent here in US almost 2 years in total, but we speak czech at home and I am quite shy and that is the biggest problem.
Veterninary nurse…cool! I studied for physician in CZ, but the summer I passed 4th grade (2 left to go) I became pregnant and it wasn't possibble for me to continue with child. My mom was willing to help me but it would mean not to see my baby only for weekends and it was unimaginable for me. So I study now distantly (?) for pharmacology assistent and I would like to continue with it here in US.

I read books in English, watch TV and movies (sometimes I need english subtitles) but still I think my biggest problem is speaking- cause I rather say nothing if I am not sure that my sentence is grammatically correct :-)

I only studied on collage, but than I got to mision of US people. Maybe you've heard about AIM, it's a collage that has one of graduation exam (as I underestood) to spent one year abroad on mission. Only two weeks with them made my english teacher to forgot to close her mouth when she questioned me for exam.
I spoke fluently in less than year, but it was due to our englis teacher - she pushed us to learn about 30 new words every month.

By the way, @Sepishka did you ever met in US with potato candy? I tried to make them today, but it is pure sugar according my opinion. I don't know if it should be like that, or I put too much sugar in dough :think: It was kind a tough :think:

When you write about returning back to CZ I feel nearly the same. I would love to live here because my family is here and I have no one in Switzerland, my husband is Swiss. But the standard of living is better there, of course something is better in CZ but in general I would say that the people is happier in CH. just going to the shop is more agreeable because the shop assistants are smiling and you feel that they really want to help you.

I can't say if French is more difficult, I know it much more better so I find it easy. Also the way I have learned it wasn't the same. At scholl we had 10 hours per week of French during 2 years and then the classes (5 subjects) were done in French so we had to be fluent very quickly. So it was better and more efficient than the standard English classes 3× a week.

you who live abroad, do you have dreams in the foreign language? When I deamed for the first time in French I ws really surprised I found it strange. It was when we were for the first time in France and we stayed in families and then it reappeared when I moved abroad.

My Russian teacher - Russian woman by origin - used to say that she's dreaming in Slovak… so… probably it is normal… language that your mind is „using“ during day it use also when dreaming :think:

@Bábi Zlopočasná Potato candy…mhhh I have never tasted it yet but when I bake brownies I use only half amount of presribed sugar because it is originally too sweet for us too.

Well, the recipe is easy - mix cooked potato with sugar until firm dough. Roll, put peanut butter and roll up and cut into pieces… my dough didn't want to roll up, but I made it with my baby in my arms, so i was too slow. I was thinking that it only got dry. :think:
But it could be that potato is only thing to hold sugar together :mrgreen:

Two Jehovah witnesses just knocked on my door trying to persuade me that they have a proof of God's existence. No offence, but for me it was just a proof of them being everywhere… anyway I was polite, smiled and took their brochures :-) Do you guys have any experience with them and how do you usually react on such a thing?
