I know that I couldn't call someone I'd met online! I'm a total chicken when it comes to that, and I really hate talking on the phone! ^^"
It's something else when it's someone I know I'm going to have a lot to do with, like your roommate... but otherwise? Nah, too scared! ^^"
I talk fast too, when I'm nervous - and I also stumble over my words and make a mess of what I'm meaning to say... and that in both of my languages! XD
Yeah, I have a strong accent (which I hate, but well, nothing to be done about that), and I often stumble over my words, because apparently (at least according to my father) I want to use really long and complicated sentence structures, and then I get confused. ^^" (Which I think might come from definitely writing more English than speaking it. It always takes me about a day to get into the language properly again, and then it's better.)
And it would probably be good if you were to slow down... I have no idea what your accent is like, a lot of times I can understand Americans, but especially the southern accents confuse me horribly! ^^"
And yes, one day I might take you up on that offer! XD
