Turbo : I´m sure it´ll be more easy than you think... :p
In August... You´ll be with your parents, won´t you ? You´d better let them speak English, by telling one or two sentences when you want.
If it´s a school trip, your penfriend will talk more slowly.
I´ll be in a family of 2 retired but I´ll have lessons with an english in the morning and visits in the afternoon
I will be alone, without my family
