A few weeks ago, I said that language was not a barrier, but now I'm starting to think differently.
I have made friends, most of them non-French speakers, who all have a good
level of English and I notice more and more that language is a barrier in my interactions.
It's hard to speak your mind, to bounce back, to have debates, to make jokes when the words don't come naturally and this is quite stressful and frustrating.
However, even though English is a problem for me, I am getting better and I am still able to adapt and make myself understood. Furthermore, living with non-French speakers and taking English classes helps me to improve on a daily basis.
