I Want to Improve My English

So I’m going to the USA in May as part of the au pair program. I never worked with kids before so I’m anxious about it. On top of this my English isn’t perfect and the idea of people not understanding my thick accent also makes me anxious!
I think my writing is strong but I have difficulty expressing myself effectively while speaking.
Also. Be aware this is my first post here so bear with me! I leave you guys a morning selfie jaja.

I think you will do just fine. Don't be nervous and you will get better the more you are exposed to it :D

@Timelessdays I’ll be living with an English speaking family so I think I’m going to get to speak often but they’ve told me they want me to teach their kids some Spanish too jaja.

That will be some culture shock for sure. Good news is people there tend to be very nice so I am sure you will have an amazing time.

@Timelessdays the family I’m staying with does seem nice so I hope it is going to be just as you said:) they say they’re 15 minutes away from Washington DC.

@Sandrita I work in DC.

The metro area has a lot of immigrants and Spanish speakers.

Let me know if you need any advice about the area.
