Yesterday i had dinner with my husband’s collegues and every night we talked in english. I wasn’t confortable because all talked very well english so i didn’t exchange/ discuss a lot with them. I’m shy and i don’t like to unsuccess so i stay in the background. I tried to talk but when i opened my mouth i hesitate, i stammer, i didn’t found my vocabulary and i realized my all mistakes but too late. i’m most confortable and confident with my teachers while with other people i’m ridiculous seems/ as if i never learnt english. I’m disappointed because i feel i don’t evolve/advance/ progess in english.

Correction –

Yesterday I had dinner with my husband’s colleagues and every night we talked in english. I wasn’t comfortable because they all spoke english so well so i didn’t discuss much with them. I’m shy and I don’t like to fail so I just stayed in the background. I tried to talk but when i opened my mouth i hesitated and stammered, i couldn’t find my vocabulary and i realized all my mistakes, but too late. i’m most comfortable and confident with my teachers, but with other people i feel ridiculous, as if i’ve never spoken english. I’m disappointed because i feel i haven’t progressed in English.
