Listen, I might just have an idea to write in english, how about that? I haven't even written anything in polish since the last post, but I wanted to try something different. Since I like this language and I used to speak it and write it quite a lot, I thought about going back to this habit of mine to challenge myself, to express my feelings, to push myself creatively. I love polish language and I love useing it in writing. Same goes with english. This post is a reminder for me not to give up on my interests and to keep getting better at skills that I have acquired. Also, this is a great opportunity to practise which I haven't done in a while.

Basically recently I've been to work (I've quitted since then) and there was a situation which required me to speak english fluently. I was asked to translate for my boss because some very important person have visited our shop, and he was from America. Well well well (studnia, studnia, studnia xd) America you say. The big country that nowadays is considered as a world power, and one of it's citizen is here, in Poland. We have to show ourselves from the best angle and show HIM that we are worth of talking to about business. Seems like an important task to me. Obviously, I was terrified because I haven't spoken that language since my erasmus roommate came back to China. What was I supposed to do, agree? Noooo, I convinced my co-worker to sign up for this herself and she did. It wasn't even that hard, in fact she didn't mind it at all. What a shocker it was to me.
Then I thought, what has happened to me? I used to be great in this. I got the highest score at my english oral matura exam. Well, I have definitely lost some of that confidence, haven't I? Even now, writting this post, I had to use a google translator to help me with some of the words and sentences. I don't like that regress of mine, or the process of making errors and mistakes. But it is needed in order to grow and I look forward to that, I guess...
