When I decided to leave my home country to get a degree in Canada, I hadn't expected that communication would be an issue.I had thought I could express myself in English easily.I took English lessons in my teens and scored well on English tests.

But soon after my arrival in Canada, I realized how wrong I was.In research discussions, surrounded by native English speakers, I had to be careful about what they said.I needed to consciously follow each conversation and translate it into my native language.Then, I had to

reflect carefully on it and think of an answer.Finally, I tried to find the right English words to communicate.Constantly thinking about what I would say next, I had a hard time remaining focused on conversations.

But when I again failed to say exactly what I meant in a meeting a few months later, I came up with a simple idea.Why not take part in the discussion in writing？Communicating with my workmates by e­mail, I had more time to think and comfortably express my thoughts.Over time, this practice helped improve my English significantly.

In addition, I learned to be open with my workmates.I decided to remind them that English is not my first language.I asked them to speak more slowly to help me follow the discussions.It was a little awkward to draw attention to what might be seen as a weakness.And at first, the other members of the research team seemed slightly surprised.But they gradually seemed to become more aware of how they were speaking.And then I felt more comfortable joining in the conversation.With efforts on both sides, we could overcome language problems.
