It's still very difficult for me to express myself in another language. I have trouble organizing my thoughts and expressing my opinions.

SIGHTSEEING - Visit tourist attractions - Traveling with the family - My father donsn't like to go sightseeing, he prefers to go to restaurants.

BACKPACKING TRIP - A person who travels economically - People who don't mind getting to now other places with the minimum - I'd like to go on a backpacking trip.

WORKOUT - Physical exercise - Doing physical exercise improves quality of life - Weight training is my favorite workout.

I'm watching the TV series Brooklyn Nine-Nine. It's very sarcastic, and some of the lines are difficult to understand, but I can understand them with effort.

Summarizing what I read is still very challenging, even with the help of a dictionary. I also need help from my classmates.

I don't feel ready for a debate or discussion yet, nor do I know the right words to use.

TO TAKE OFF: The same as removing; I learned this phrasal verb in the online course I am taking, which is helping me to learn more about the English language; Please, take off your shoes to enter here.

TO BE INTERESTED IN: The same as interested in something; I came across this expression in a YouTube video. A young man said he was interested in an old car; ) I think he is interested in buying a new car.

FLIP-FLOPS: SLIPPERS; This word is very common, but I didn't know it. I came across it on the Duolingo app, where I take English classes; He told me that he likes to wear flip-flops at home.

My goal this week is to learn how to use conditionals and apply rules to my daily life.

To understand the many meanings and slang, I feel that I need to dedicate myself even more.

I need to watch more videos and read more to be able to understand the various meanings.

With dedication and repetition, I can master the necessary skills.

Ephemeral : something that does not last long, There is a video on YouTube showing people on the beach, The sunset was beautiful but ephemeral.

Wanderlust : strong desire to travel, I encountered the term while reading a sentence in an online course, She has a deep wanderlust and dreams of visiting many countries.

Ineffable : It's something so incredible that it cannot be described in words, A foreign traveler who creates YouTube videos was impressed by the forest's grandeur, The beauty of the Amazon forest is ineffable.

Practicing more listening and writing will help me understand better.

I still don't feel confident when it comes to talking to someone in English.

I get nervous about saying anything that could be misunderstood.

I try to learn from other methods, but I see that they are not working very well.

Gossiping : speak ill of others, I also came across this word in the book The Ventriloquist's Tale. They spent the whole afternoon gossiping about their coworkers.

hammocks : used for lying down and resting, I also came across this word in the book The Ventriloquist's Tale. We relaxed in our hammocks watching the sunset.

Rumbustious : excited, full of energy, I also came across this word in the book The Ventriloquist's Tale. The children were rumbustious after the party.

The last two weeks have been very challenging because of the new content.

I still find it very difficult to express myself. I have to think hard to form a coherent sentence.

My friends are helping me to become more confident.

Bite the bullet : deal with a difficult situation, used when someone decides to do something inevitable, I hate going to the dentist, but I'll have to bite the bullet and make an appointment.
