Igualmente a ti :D

I just hope that they understood my problems with the language and it would not take a bad impression of that thinking that I did not feel like interacting with them.

Honestly, I wasn't aware that you were 'shy' about your English at Steemfest. I would have made a concerted effort to give you some of my atrocious Spanish!

They are tough to learn for some, while others can speak 3/4/5. I think easier when you are younger (no offence!), I'm 40 now and pretty sure the connections are harder to make and keep than they were listening to my French teacher at school.

I could really do with a Spanish partner/teacher - 3 years in Spain and I should really be doing better!

Good luck and best wishes for 2019, so glad to hear there are more people who gave the middle finger to a longterm job :D

Hola @abh12345!

Actually, It was not shyness. I can perfectly have one to one conversations even if my English is not perfect and I do not feel shy. My problem was that my ears were not used to it and a conversation of a group of people with different accents. It was too much for me at that point. Now, I feel that my listenig improves day by day and that makes me very happy because if I understand what people tell me I can also answer. I have heard that over the years it becomes more complicated to learn languages ​​but I am not entirely in agreement with that. Perhaps it's true that over the years adults stopped paying attention to our environment. Many people just hear, not really listen. Surely, children are better than us living here and now :)

If you need help with your Spanish do not hesitate to let me know. Don't give up! ^^

I wish you have a great 2019 full of love, health and success.
