Please help me correct these sentences. Thank you.

I admire courage most. Because when I was in primary school, I transferred to Guangzhou to study. But most students spoke Cantonese which I couldn’t understand completely. So I didn’t know what the teachers were talking about and was shy to talk with my classmates. At that time, if I had had enough courage, I would have learned how to communicate with my classmates.
