Struggles I have surrounded by trying to become bilingual

 

There are very few struggles I have with trying to become bilingual other than learning the language lol but I’m here to share so if you have similar experiences you don’t feel alone 

1. Not speaking Spanish in Spanish speaking environments

I will often go to restaurants or places that I know for a fact they are speaking in Spanish but as soon as I build up the courage to speak in Spanish I suddenly loose it and then speak in English instead which is frustrating because I know what I am wanting to say but it just won’t come out of my mouth lol.

2. Talking in Spanish to my parents 

See this wouldn’t be a problem if my parents knew Spanish lol but unfortunately they do not so I will respond back in Spanish and they just look at me confused reasonably so, but I do it so I can practice pronunciation and not loose any knowledge but I can do that with other people like my sibling.

I only have two problems to be quite honest but I am constantly thinking of ways to get over the nervous state of actually talking in a foreign language and also talking to people that also understand what I am trying to say lol
