Coming to a new country alone is a new experience.
Coming to a new country where we know nobody is even more of a new experience.
Coming to a new country without speaking the language seems like an unfeasable experience.
Having nobody to speak our language with is frustrating.
Having nobody to teach you the new language is discouraging.
Having nobody to speak with, without feeling ashamed of our accent and prononciation, is hard for morale.
Trying to adapt to new words is challenging.
Trying to adapt to the whole language is difficult.
Trying to adapt to the new environment is overwhelming.
But the beauty of life is that I know I can do it by reaching for some help.
