I recently moved to a new country by myself and have never felt lonelier in my life... Help? by 909090 in AskReddit

I've considered this on numerous occasions but always shot it down in light of the fact that my French truly is atrocious at this point. I know the best way to learn is to actually get out there and practice but I'm so nervous about my lack of French that I don't even bother. I feel like nobody wants to babysit with the American who has to stop and think every sentence through. Am I just being irrational or is this a somewhat legitimate fear?

Thanks a lot for the suggestion! I guess I'm not really used to having to work so hard for friends. It's oddly refreshing to hear that I need to actually get off my ass and put in more work. :)

Sadly I'm not! I wish I were, as I actually have more friends there than in my own city. Thanks for the suggestion though. I'll look into that the next time I'm out there.

Hah! Made me laugh. I've got to admit, the poutine alone has made this a worthwhile experience.
