Hi Wen, thank you so much for posting this! This is so powerful! As a Filipina myself, I truly understand the challenges you've faced with the language barrier. It's so inspiring how you've turned those challenges into stepping stones for growth. You're doing amazing. Padayon lang ta..☺️

Thank you for writing this. It's good to support each other in our challenges. This is certainly a common one. I know people from several other countries who now live in the US and struggle to speak the language. Two of them are women from the Philippines who go to the same church with me.

While I don't struggle with English, I do study other languages and I'm sure I would feel just as awkward if I was writing primarily in one of those languages.

Thanks for telling us how it's going. You're doing great!

Good morning Wen,

The great thing is that you're not only learning how to build an online business, Wen, you are also improving your language at the same time. I appreciate that it's not easy learning any new language, I appreciate that some are easier than others. I'm currently learning Greek, which is kind of fascinating, but it does take time.

It's great that Mel is able to help you, Wen!

Wishing you every success in the great day.

I can relate to your language challenge. My first language is German and when I first came to England when I got married I felt just like you. I had studied English at school in Austria, but found it difficult to understand spoken English (with people's different accents) and speak it myself. But I did want to attend university. So I studied hard and it was at university that I was forced to write essays in English and learned fast.

I was fortunate that my husband was a teacher and kept correcting me when I made mistakes. It was annoying to be interrupted with grammar explanations when I was just trying to tell him something, but it proved very valuable.

Try to study a little bit every day. You will quickly improve.

Best wishes,
Isabella

I would like to say I commend you for learning the English Language. I would like to tell you how well you are doing. I have been on this Earth 57 years. I am originally from West Virginia in the United States. To those who may not know that is Between Virginia and Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. People have always made fun of the people from West Virginia calling us "Hillbillies", and saying we talked different. We speak English it just might not be refined. We use words like "aint", "used-ta-could". " ja-eat-yet" So I guess to some I would have to say you are doing way better than me. I always had trouble in school in English class, my primary language. I guess what I am trying to say is nobody is an expert at the English Language. Keep going I am one of your cheerleaders!!!
