So I agreed to meet my brother's friends yesterday, little did I know that I will be sitting there and only trying to listen and understand the conversations they were having. I literally didn't understand the full topics that they were having because they either talked fast or I zoned out or they used words I didn't understand. I'm way fluent in English, but the language the were speaking in I'm average in it I guess. Though three of them acknowledged my presence and asked me some questions, other than that I just stayed quiet (though I look like I got my shit together when in fact I barely do).


Did you ever go through something similar to this? What did you do about it? Also they started to speak about politics that's when they completely lost me.
