You move into an apartment with the person from your hometown, and the two of you get on extremely well. You go to restaurants together to eat the food of your homeland, sit up talking all night, and go on weekend trips with other friends from your country. Unfortunately, you scarcely ever speak English, and your grades in class get worse and worse. You fail your English course and have to go home. You screwed it up! Start again.
