To the OP,

You don't have to have perfect English at first (Even though you have VERY proficient writing abilities, at least!) I know that listening is a challenge, just like it is for anyone in a different language (like me and spanish.) With time, you will improve, I bet after 2 months you'll see a large improvement, and then by 6 months you'll be almost fluent. Going in with a good background helps a LOT! So good luck and watch shows to help improve your English (but with subtitles to help learn new words!)

And read children's books too, as stupid as that sounds, it helps. Or if they are too easy, then maybe harder books. Good luck though!

Plus...I DON'T EVEN SPEAK fluent english!! And it's my first language. Nobody technically can speak 100% english, because there are always words we don't know...but that's more than what you all needed to know haha. Don't worry too much!
