A gap of some days between my last entry and today, no reason for this gap – besides having pain in my leg and especially in the whole hip area, has been pressing my self-confidence in speaking and listening English. Certainly, that is continuing and has to be interrupted. My uncertainty in speaking English remains as long as I am not looking for talks to apply my newly acquired vocabulary. I’m afraid that I’ll come much more from German than to speak English immediately. A gap of several days between my last entry and today, for no apparent reason—along with pain in my leg and especially in the entire hip area—is putting a strain on my confidence in speaking and listening to English. This continues, of course, and needs to be interrupted. My insecurity about speaking English will persist as long as I don’t seek out conversations to practice my newly acquired vocabulary. I’m afraid I won’t speak English right away without first thinking it through in German.
