I feel you. I myself immigrated from Mexico after 9, 11. Back then, I didn’t know English. So, I had to look for work in my own community. What gets me is how some of your own kinds try to take advantage of you, when you are desperate. I have no problems speaking English now. I find it hard to stick to my new year’s resolution too. I wanted to quit smoking last year as my new year’s resolution but I kinna (kind of) gave up on it. It is not easy to kick the habit you know. Once you are hooked, you are hooked for good. If you are a heavy boozer, you won’t be able to wake up and go cold turkey the next day. On the bright side of it, you don’t have to fight off your demons like me. you just have to enrol in an English class, spend time watching more American shows, and speak English more often
When I landed in Vancouver 9 years ago, I found it very hard to adjust to the new country with a different language and culture. I don’t feel quite at home yet, as I have difficulties communicating with people in English. I am a renovator by trade, and I would like to work with different communities and land big contracts. Therefore, I have decided to make learning English my new year’s resolution. I know, I should not have unrealistic expectations, as it would take a long time to learn a new language. But I believe in what my father used to say, “ you can do anything if you put your mind to it.” I have to build new habits that stick with me for a long time
