What language and where are you stuck? I remember you mentioning Switzerland, Austrialia, UK I think, and Brazil too (? or am I just confused here because of your nickname) save me the bother of having to did the archives and straighten me out.
What I miss most is cracking jokes, most times when I try to crack a joke in Portuguese I mess it up and when people get it it is because they have had to have someone explain it to them, also I often don't get other peoples jokes, a lot of humour is cultural or linguistic.
I tend to talk about very involved topics or else complete nonsense, both are very hard to get right in another language.
When I've learnt Portuguese right, I'm going to try never to have to learn another language again...I suck at it.
