I can't enjoy life in America----- Does any one give me some suggestion?

Me, living in America, I can understand where you are coming from. It is quite difficult to live in a country where it is a "dog-eat-dog" mentality. No one looks out for anyonen else but themselves. But I can give you several suggestions as to how you can enjoy your life in America. Judging by how you type, I would say that your English is not that bad. There are a lot of careers in the field of writting. You seem like a good writter so you should be a free lance journalists. That is just what I would suggestion. I am sure that you are also aware that there are several programs in the United States which can help someone in your situation. I have no idea where you are from, however, America does no "discriminate". You should be able to get several installments of money to help you in hardship. Even though this money is barely enough, it is better then nothing. I suppose that places such as mylot could, theoritically, help you earn money. But, even mylot will not be sufficient income for you. Try to improve your networking skills- as in, improve your inner circle. Be sure to communicate, try to "talk" to as many white and blue collared people as possible. I know that my suggestions are probably not nearly as good of an answer as what you were looking for. I apologize for that. However, I do hope that you succeed in America.

If you don't like it you can always go back home to what's familiar to you. No sense in being miserable if you don't like a place. There's hundreds of places in the world to be if you don't like one place go somewhere else.

well, if america is not in your heart you will surely not enjoy any of it. so if i were you....i will look at the positive side of the coin.. okey... life is not always comfortable. sometimes we have to adjust s we would learn... cause if not... life is useless

you write bvery well , for someone whO isnt very good i think your great! and what country are you from? what are you not understanding about your work , and on the news, is it when people speak that you dont understand , or is it the pun"s and phrases americans use that you just dont get??

I'm a native American, so I don't understand what you're going through. However, maybe some things I have to say can help you. First of all, good for you coming to the United States! It's the "land of the free" and "home of the brave." You are a very brave person for leaving your country and coming here where everything is different. I've never learned a foreign language, but the fact that you've studied the English language for so long is very good! I'm sorry to hear you're having a hard time learning English now with reading, watching TV, and other such things. But let me tell you that you're a fine writer. When I saw your discussion, I knew you needed help. I knew you were asking for help and opinions. You are very good at writing in English. How well do you read English? If you can write as you did in this discussion, you're doing wonderful already! I know it will be frustrating for you to learn English now that you're here in America, but keep going and be patient. It will come to you! So many people have done what you're doing. They've come from foreign lands and mastered the English language. You, too, can do this. You can do whatever you put your mind to! And the fact that you're trying to hard means great things. Don't give up! Another suggestion I have is just be patient as you're working and at home. Watch TV when you can enjoy it. You will automatically learn English without even trying. It will just come to you. You can't help but learn the language and the culture when you live here. The disadvantage you had when you were learning English in your country was that you weren't around Americans who speak it all the time. You now have the advantage of actually living here and living the American dream. You are living in the American culture, so you will learn no matter how long it takes. Keep up the good work! If you have any questions, I'd certainly be glad to help.

I am sorry that you have not experienced more american people who are patient with you. I have heard that english is hard to learn because we have so much 'slang' - words that are in common use here, but not really in the dictionary. Please don't stop reading news in english, or movies in english. 17 years is a long time for you to study our language in your own country, but it is so different when you actually have to use and speak the language every day. Thanks for sharing honestly.

In first it is always difficult for everyone but you need time and practice, as it is well said that practice makes a man perfect. so you keep on improving yourself, try to indulge in activities, write and read loudly, read in front of mirror, read newspaper daily mark those words which you don't understand and than look in dictionary and try to make as many meaningful sentences with that word. Think always positive and believe that everything is possible in this world. I hope soon you will realize that you are winner. All the best.

Well I am from Britain and if I moved to America I would find it strange to adjust at first then I would get used to it. You don't have that bad English considering, but to be honest you could do with improvement. Are there no groups in America for people from other Countries like social groups you could join to make new friends. Your English is good, but not wonderful yet, but give it time you don't say how long you have been there. I did a camp in America for 2 months when I was 18 and I fell in love with America. Sadly I haven't been back since and I still miss it even though at first it was hard to settle in. I fell in love with America and promised I'd go back, but I haven't been able to afford it. I think if I was you give it another year if things don't improve then consider moving back home if that is where your heart is. I have moved a lot from my home Town but, always come back to it. Because although I complain about it whilst I am away I miss it because it is my home.

I would find it extremely difficult to live in a country that did not have English as the primary language. I can only imagine how difficult it is for you here. I used to tutor foreign students in college. They really were hard workers. I had a student tell me it took him an hour to read one page of his textbook. He carried a full course-load, so had many pages assigned. But he was determined to succeed and did. He told me that the most helpful thing for him was to only speak English at home. The people living with him were also foreign students from his country and they spoke their native language at home, so he moved into the dormitory with the American students. He progressed more quickly after that. So perhaps you and your husband could speak only English for a set amount of time at home each day. It is important for you to be with people to interact in English. You could volunteer to help at some non-profit organization - Habitat for Humanity, the local food bank, a daycare center, etc. You would be helping them and they would be helping you! Don't give up. You are doing well on myLot.

i think the most problem is to adjust your thought. cherish all you have got and try your best to enjoy them,nothing is diffcult in my opinion,just do your best. learn an foreign language is a long time work, speak to your friend and talk with them everything will goes well~~ :)

It is easy to change your life in America: just remember all your hobbies and activities in your home country and try to find a way to go on with the same things here, go swimming, jogging, collecting coins, join forums, seminars or whatever you used to do in your country and you will find new people who can share the same interests with you.
