2 个月That's right. What you said the fact is true and happens to me. I knew English and can communicate as normal people. But to implement in speaking to different background people who coming from other countries sometimes makes me confused. The problem is on dialect and sometimes blank no phrase or words to say it due to my listening can't catch it well.
