Do people treat you like a foreigner? That would be my concern about leaving America. I have many friends who moved to Europe who say the locals never let them

I have many friends who moved to Europe who say the locals never let them speak their language and keep their distance.
- keiferski 8y agoI’ve been all over Europe and I really don’t know where this would be true. If you can speak the local language well enough to have a conversation, 99% of people will talk to you in it. If they can’t understand you, well, you need to study more.
- hackathonguy 8y agoNot OP, but gonna pipe in as a Jerusalemite: in Israel, being a foreigner is almost a default state. Consider that a very significant portion of the population only came in the last 30 or so years, and a vast majority of peoples’ ancestors only came in the last century. It’s a relatively new country. From a more practical standpoint, there are large English speaking communities all over & most Israelis are very fluent English speakers.
