I was learning English in past time

When I came here, I didn't have any confidence. I also was really embarrassed if I talked with American Native speaker. Because I couldn't speak well. I decided that I have to speak with someone. One day, I met Ryan and we went on dating. While we were spending time, we always spoke English each other. And he kept fixing my sentences, I tried to memorize. Finally, after 4 month, I spoke English better than past time :) Therefore, I think we have to make friends using English.
