I know it's hard to express yourself using a foreign language when you've grown accustomed to your native language. But trying to do that still is a brave habit that can be nurtured. English is not my native language also. I've known and grown using two dialects (tagalog - national language & kapampangan - native language in my region) here in the Philippines.
And because English is thought in school, I'm able to use it like this and express what I want to say freely. It takes a lot of thinking since there are some grammar rules and the likes, but it's fine to make some mistakes as long as you are able to deliver the message you wanted to say. I think that is a good trait to remember.
I did checked it out, and it was very well written. - with the perfect amount of inspiration! ^^
