I hate when people ask me for directions where I live, I'm so bad at it even in my native language :) I feel so relieved when I can just say "go ahead and turn right" and guilty when I don't know the exact place and I just point the general direction and say "sorry, that's all I know". Sometimes people ask me in the bus where the next stop is and I have to admit that I only know where the last stop is because that's where I'm heading and I don't really pay attention to the stops in between, I read or listen to music. I'm actually better at giving directions in Warsaw where I come on holiday, because I walk there a lot and actually pay attention where I am, finally not busy with everyday life stuff. I can even handle a conversation in English :)
Maybe they figured if she has this, she must know English If it was true! English words are on everything these days. My dad doesn't speak English, so when he's buying a t-shirt with some English words on it, he asks me what they mean because he doesn't want anything inappropriate :D
