Moving to a new country has many challenges and joys. One of them is processing the enormous load of input and then spitting out rather simple, confused, and slightly nonsensical sentences into a new language. So I decided to draw this picture:
Here is the text under "Processing": It is so good to be back. I am so glad to see everyone. They are going through a hard time right now. I hope I can be a good friend. Should I stay when I know they can't afford much? But they seem to enjoy my company and seem offended if I leave. Perhaps I didn't communicate that well. I am remembering lots of words but not enough. I like my language lessons. My brain feels full. Time to take a walk but I should avoid that street. Am I really back here? This is great but at the same time not. Ooh! I should draw that...
I like this - really captures your communication situation.
