Dear Diary

I am kind of struggled with my language and our manners. I cannot speak any English well. It is very hard to learn English for me. But my French friend learned English so fast that he moved to main island and study with other American guys. We started at the same time but he learned faster than I. And I do not get the pronunciation. It is somewhat hard to say it. And America and German has different manners. They are very different. Also I do not know the job they provide us. We are doing farming but they do not let us work in different jobs. And also we lost some money because we brought 1000 Euro for the Trip but they do not let us exchange their money and our money. So it is very bad thing for us. Because of that, we become poor and sometimes they do not give us food. We need to buy them now. And at the summer, they do not have pool so we are bountiful of scary and they do not let me go into the ocean. They said you might sink and die. So they only let us play with water. Only a little bit.

Sincerely, Adolf
