Describe a Time When You First Talked in a Foreign Language

Describe a Time When You First Talked in a Foreign Language 3W0m5
I've been studying English for a long time, but I've never had a chance to communicate directly with native speakers. The first time I used English to communicate, I was a bit surprised. At that time, I was hanging out with my friends in Ho Guom Lake. Then, a foreigner came up to me and asked for directions to the Circle K nearby. He had such a strong accent that I couldn’t make out what he wanted to say. I froze for a while. He saw it so he repeated it again and fortunately, I understood and showed him the way. After that, he said “Thank you” to me. I realize that English plays an important role in our life, despite the fact that we don’t live in English-speaking countries. Therefore, I have been trying to practice speaking English daily, and try to use English fluently in life. It will help me a lot in my work and daily communication
