Finding my words

Of course, I still speak German. But it’s hard work. Not only am I looking for words, I very often translate back from English but I also cannot stand hearing my own voice. I sound different and it all sounds very wooden. Nobody speaks like this, and it feels un-authentic. I really hope, it’ll come back quickly. Otherwise this will just be very awkward. Besides, I’ve gone a bit quiet again, as I simply don’t seem to know how to start a conversation. As if my confidence when meeting new people is restricted to interactions in English. Very bizarre indeed.
