I came to the U.S. for my husband's reasons. I am not good at talking to other people by nature and my English conversation has not improved at all, and it is hard for me to do anything by myself.
I know I shouldn't continue like this, but it's hard to work even harder when I'm tired from work.
Is there anyone like me ？

（ I'm not looking for advice right now because I feel like complaining. ）

I am in the same situation and feel the same way.
It is hard to find someone to share these feelings with and I have been having a hard time.

It's okay, don't rush, take your time, don't overdo it.

You may think I'm an idiot, but I've lived in the US for 20 years and I'm no good at English.

But I rely on Google Translate to improve much faster than I can study, I rely on Dr. Google.
I already have a translator that can do conversations, okay, okay.

You are not in a mental state to listen to advice and try to improve the situation.

By the way, what kind of work do you do? Do you use English at all ？

My job requires English by necessity and I have improved a lot because of it.

If you need anything, you can ask for help here in Japanese.
If you go to a place near your house, you can use English with bad pronunciation because Japanese is not understood

There are no Japanese stores or Japanese-speaking stores in my area
I use English with bad pronunciation at nearby stores, but I have not felt any inconvenience.

#2 Ms.
Yes, I don't have trouble with daily life, but sometimes it is hard to have to depend on my husband to do anything.
But I feel lighter after hearing from those who have lived here for 10 years but cannot talk.


#3 Mr.
I feel better just knowing that there are others like me. I came here because I wanted to, but it's hard when things don't go the way you want them to.

#6
I was relieved to hear that it's ok, don't panic, and using Google Docs was also helpful.
It is certainly faster and more accurate than studying on my own.

Mr. #7
I work from home on contract for a Japanese company, so my Japanese is the only language I speak.
You improve when you are in a situation where you have to do it.

Mr. #8
My husband is a permanent resident and I came to the US to live with him.
You can think I'm fishing all you want, but it's rude to assume.

#9
As I said in my first post, I am not looking for advice, but thank you for your advice.

I study pronunciation by watching TV news
I can understand the meaning even if I can't hear it with English subtitles.
American dramas are also good!
You may be able to learn pronunciation and expression.
Study with patience.

？
If there are people like you, you don't have to worry about not being able to speak English because you don't have to worry about not being able to speak English.

If you come here for your husband and only use Japanese, that's fine ？ You didn't come here to study English or have a dream to do something ？
I'm relieved that there are people who can't speak English even after 10 years here ､ I don't speak English at all I can't speak English if I don't even want to ､ It's kind of weird to complain here that it's too much of a hassle to study and ask for agreement.

It says you don't want advice, but you give advice

Read it properly

But it's also scummy to just whine about not wanting to be advised.

You can write down the English words in advance and show them to the clerk at the drugstore and other places.

Anyway, the improvement of English is not determined by the number of years. There are people who have lived in the U.S. for decades and still cannot speak

English at all. But they have a very good relationship with the people around them, even though they don't speak much English.

They are very good. I don't speak English, I don't understand, so we are licking wounds ？? I don't think it's a wound or anything.

I just want to look for people who can't speak English ､ and feel relieved that I'm not the only one ､ then I don't have to study ｡ English is not something you study, though. It's something you learn naturally.

Even if you stay here, you can't learn English if you live the same life as in Japan ｡ Only Japanese husband to contact and work in Japanese ､ Only watch Japanese TV ､ Cell phone and PC are set in Japanese ､
I can't speak English. I'm not in trouble, I'm just in trouble because there are no Japanese people around me except my husband.

But in your case, you don't really need to speak English ？ You only go out for shopping ｡ You can rely on your husband
He can teach you English ？.

Is there anyone else like you ？?" is what Topy wants to hear, so
you don't need advice, you don't need criticism.
I feel a little better knowing that there are others like me. That's all.

So, I've been living here for 20 years, but I still can't speak English...
The first 2 ～ 3 years were hard, but it was a game of how fast I got used to not being able to speak English
（ lol ） Then I got used to this environment sooner than I thought. I got used to the environment, it's hard but
not hard because I can't do it. Because I can't do it. I can't speak English ！ so it's no wonder I'm having trouble
living here ～.
If you have trouble or pain, study ～ ！ but I can't （ because I can't lol ）
there are people living like this ♬ be cheerful.
