Yes, it was really really hard!
I ll tell you the story!
I went to an island called Niijima for holidays with my friend when
I was 17.
We were waiting for a bus to the beach.
A "foreing" couple (in their 50s) were there too.
They asked us something.
I didn't know exactlly what they said, but
I knew that they were going to leave the island
to take a ferry, they had a big suitcases and all that
and there are only 2 buses services in the island
to the beach or to the port.
We were at a bus stop in between the beach and the port.
I wanted to tell them
"If you are going to take a ferry to go back to Tokyo,
wait for the bus over there, it will take you to the port."
or something like that...
but I was like....
just pointing at the bus stop and said
"ship..."
and guess what?
They said,
OK Thank you !
Yes, we understood each other...
THEN
I made up my mind to study English hard! in case
of anyone asks me a question in English!
I wanted to be helpful!
so ship.... was kind of my first "spoken" English word.
I said and read aloud in English before, but
it wasn't real, just a fake, like classroom things.
I hope the couple enjoyed staying in Japan,
and cought the right bus!
