Answer:
It felt very strange to not be able to speak the language of everybody around me. It was like gibberish, and when people were talking to me, I didn't understand them, so I didn't know how to respond. Usually, I just mumbled "okay", and some of them got offended, and it made be feel bad. It was a real challenge, but I used books and the internet to translate and help me learn the language. Now, I can speak it to this day. こんにちは、この素晴らしい日はお元気ですか？(This means "Hello, how are you doing on this wonderful day?" in Japanese.) Note that this story is made up, but I do speak Japanese.
