Western food is okay, I guess. Probably the only thing you have to get used to is the amount of food per serving. Most westerners are larger than us asians, so they also eat a lot more!
Your english is very good and I have no doubt you'll master it in no time. English is also my second language. It's hard at first, but don't give up.
I have a few tips that may help you. Some of it may seem strange, but it worked for me so give it a try!
- Read english comic books. I know you read english novels, but comics will help you understand the flow of conversation. Novels, magazines and newspapers are good, but they are usually written with different narratives not suitable for conversation. Comics also help with the tenses and particles. It's great fun too.
- Try setting your thinking voice to english. This sounds weird, I know. But if your thoughts are in english, you can't help but learn! Saying "shit!..." to yourself when you just missed the bus is a great start.
- Don't be shy. Imitate your favorite Hollywood movie star. The pronunciation, I mean. Pick a phrase and try to get it to sound as close as possible. Again, don't be shy. Most people think just understanding the word is enough, and speaking with english with an accent when you're clearly not a westerner is funny and weird. But english is all about accents. And it sure as hell makes native speakers understand you better. So next time, instead of saying "Ay-u am-u wail-do!", say "I'm wild, baby!".
