But it doesn't make sense becuase I'm much more embarrassed if the other person actually finds out I had only been pretending to understand, than asking a simple question... I'm sure you'll be fine, as you progress, besides once you start asking them about the words they had used more often, you'll probably grow more comfortable with it :)Bitter Chocolatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14416155255730554432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756387640551134005.post-78801054298186966302009-01-10T21:35:00.000+02:002009-01-10T21:35:00.000+02:00he he he... i knew all the story, i experienced it...he he he... i knew all the story, i experienced it.
