Weronika, the problem of "getting lost" in conversation doesn't only occur when moving to a country with a different language! I come from England, have lived in Australia most of my life - and after all, both countries are supposed to speak the same language! However, after all these years, I still find that the occasional Australian phrase comes up which I don't understand, I still use expressions which turn out to be particularly English. Then when I go back home to England, although I automatically drop the Australian accent and start speaking with an English one again, I confuse people by using terms and expressions they don't understand there either - so in both countries I spent a bit of time "translating" or explaining what I mean!!!
