I reckon this is a question for yourself, Isdem. But I want to break a little bit from the story that had happened to me last year. It was a surprise treat that my parents provided for me for my 15th birthday. And that is how we went about firstly in my life. There was pretty beautiful places but that’s not a point. So I was actually had a little bit of a cast for the English and I have decent understanding. That is why my parents used me as translator of that. I’m not gonna say that I was so coherent with the pronunciations or the meaning, but I was really proud of myself that I pushed through these restrictions of my own comfort zone and I stepped out of it. I felt myself like every boring and I felt myself really relieved. I have an anxiety with sensational feelings. It was so strange, but I was really proud of myself. I reckon I will do that in the future as well. But to improve that skill, it’s probably I should talk more with the people. And I think that is that I have been doing within an ear and this was exactly case that pushed me toward this idea to talk to the changers, to have little conversations and do the compliments to them.

I reckon this is a question for yourself, Isdem. But I want to break a little bit from the story that happened to me last year. It was a surprise treat that my parents provided for my 15th birthday. That is how we went about it, firstly in my life. There were some pretty beautiful places, but that's not the point. I actually had a little bit of a cast for the English, and I have a decent understanding. That is why my parents used me as a translator for that. I'm not going to say that I was completely coherent with the pronunciations or the meanings, but I was really proud of myself for pushing through the restrictions of my own comfort zone and stepping out of it. I felt really relieved. I have anxiety with sensational feelings. It was so strange, but I was really proud of myself. I reckon I will do that in the future as well. To improve that skill, I should probably talk more with people. I think that is what I have been doing over the year, and this was exactly the case that pushed me toward the idea of talking to strangers, having little conversations, and giving them compliments.
