Hello Marina Welcome I also live in the USA but my first language is English and I join this group because of my very dear friend Ed Please feel proud that you can now communicate with the people around you in the USA language which is English There are lots of people who come here and can never move ahead because they do not want to learn the language here so they stay in jobs that pay low wages I have someone who clean my home and she speak very little English and she have been here for many years and she is not alone there are a lot like her here There are lots of ESL courses given here in the USA if people will just make the time to take it I know that it is hard to sometime find the time as you are busy trying to work and support your family in a new country Once again you are doing great and you will only get better ..... Practice make Perfect
