My brother is in the first grade of high school now and he is going to go home stay in Wimbledon, England this summer. He is feeling very nervous now. He says he doesn't have confident in his English because a long term of time has passed since he came to Japan and that his English speaking skills are getting weak. Also he says he is nervous of the English accent.
I have been to a home stay in Canada when I was in the 3rd grade of junior high school. It was a good experience for me because it was the time when I was forgetting my English as well. I could speak only English for three weeks. I was able to feel more confident when I came back to Japan. Speaking to foreign people in the actual place gave me a lot of stimulus and it made me motivated to speak and study more and more English in Japan.
I hope my brother will regain his English and have a fulfilled time in England.
