I think what keeps me from formulating a quick response is my fear of mis-conjugating or using the wrong word. (That, and being just incredibly out of practice!) However, I find it much easier to get the gist of a conversation listening to someone speak.
I need to come to Chicago. In fact, I'm thinking about planning a trip! When I come, we'll have to find a way to throw me into a Spanish-only situation: sort of a Rapid Exposure to get me over my hangups! XD
Shouting in Chinese is scary. When I visit my friend's parents' restaurant, her mom is always shouting at everyone. It's especially terrifying where there's just a long string of Cantonese and then my name! 0_o
