Sometimes I have trouble speaking to my coworkers because I’ll forget words in English which makes me sound silly, to say the least. Anyone dealt with that? If so, how did you overcome the feelings of insecurity?

It doesn’t make you sound silly, that’s you getting inside your own head. Try speaking slower, let your brain catch up with your mouth.

I’ve been there. First, accept that it’s a long process. Then start with a basic vocabulary to get your ideas across, don’t try to use fancy words that don’t come out naturally. And study a lot. Read books, watch everything with English subtitles and talk to coworkers about life. Your vocabulary will improve and you won’t even notice. But again, be patient with yourself and know that most people don’t speak more than their native language, so it's more in your head than their perception.

Has anyone else gone back to relying more on public transportation with the surging Uber / Lyft prices. Trips to and from ohare are costing me about as much as the plane tickets themselves, and even simple things like meeting a friend for dinner in another neighborhood ends up costing around $80 in transportation costs. I haven’t taken buses and trains much since I’ve graduated but now it just feels like I’m throwing money out the window by not making the switch back.

Hi fellow immigrants. My partner and I are in the process of getting a visa, and we need an agent and as many contacts as possible for intent letters. Anyone that can offer some help? We're experience enough, hot agencies, hot cities, live work, real interest from NY agencies... Is just that we don't know people in the US yet. Any help would be appreciated.
