First Draft

I have lots of experience with language because it’s my second language and I struggled a lot. There were many meaningful moments in my life but one of the most influential times was when I was so interested in the English language.  I grew up in a cultural society where English was not spoken much, and people who spoke were less. Well, my school was an English language school where all the teachers constantly told us to speak English all the time and the teachers also talked to each other in English. But when we are in friend groups or outside we always speak my country’s language. Soon we got the date for our passport and we were going to travel to the USA which was our first ever trip outside our country. After that, our parents told us to study hard in school in English because the country we traveled to was based on English. And soon after I started to watch English movies, listen to songs, talk, and read in English. I was really fascinated by English because it was easy to read and write and also talk to others and for that, I felt special. I started to watch more movies and read more books to have a better understanding of it. But I hated the grammar part of English which made it so complicated at that time and I eventually figured that people in our country don’t use grammar in English. But soon after I finally reached the USA and realized that the people spoke different English from what I learned. When I say different I mean in different styles which I mean accents. Talking fast in English with different accents was extremely hard to understand of what they were saying. For most of the conversation I had I had to ask the person to repeat what he or she saying and struggled. As for speaking it was extremely hard, especially with a different accent completely. People usually call that Indian Accent. Soon after I started to feel more sky and embarrassed with my accent and the way I speak. And I was struggling with my conversations with my friends and people. But slowly I evolved and now my English is way better than before. And also hope to improve it more in the future.
