I knew some, I knew how to read and I knew grammar, but speaking was almost impossible.

And so he's like, you're going to order for yourself.

No, I'm not going to order for myself.

I was so ashamed that I cannot talk.

I can't even tell.

It's a shame.

Like, I just know so many people feel the same when they come from, I think, from different countries, especially because we don't grow up like here.

people here have self-esteem they are built up and like in bulgaria it's like an incommunistic country you're not good enough this is the message you're not good enough you better tone it down that is the message that you grow up with and and i'm like oh my gosh what what do i do here like how and so anyhow the girl comes and i'm like can i have water without ice and she says

No ice?

I say, yes, without ice, no ice.

And I look at him and I'm already terrified because I'm like, oh my gosh, I'm saying something wrong.

And he's like, you don't say here, my husband, you don't say without ice.

You say, we say here, no ice.

And I learned like British English.

We were studying British.

It's like, yeah, yeah.

There were funny stories around like learning the language, so many of them, but it's, it's, yeah.

even know basic you can't work at nestle unless you work like you go to serbia it's kind of similar like if you're spanish speaking you speak probably a couple like you can get a couple of countries like macedonian is direct like i mean at the end of the day that whole like area you know but honey this is the united states of america when you say macedonia they're like is that an elephant like people i love united states born and raised here but there's no culture here

Yeah, the self-esteem thing falls with that one.

You're funny.
