re: car. Many people, especially ones that also don't have a car and see the value in not having a car (or at least not utilizing it heavily) in an urban area. re: English. Just keep practicing. I know that it can be frustrating (on both sides), but you won't get better if you let that stop you from getting better. Do you read English well? That may be a first step in helping to remember words. Also, English is stupid: don't feel bad if it doesn't make sense to you; it doesn't really to us [native-speakers] either. In general, things like MeetUp.com are helpful. Find activities that you're interested in, and go for them!
