Having that first day of school feeling. Today I'm starting a conversatie cursus. Mixed blessing of living somewhere everyone speaks English -- it's harder to learn the local language since you're never forced to use it to communicate.
@billiegrace I feel like there's a threshold we need to cross to get comfortable enough to practice speaking with friends and random people without bogging down so much that we switch to English.
@holly I feel this. I spent a lot of time with a German friend recently but couldn’t get over my reluctance to converse. A focused/formal approach on conversational speaking seems required for me.
