Then you are a bit naif if you expect everyone to cater to your language. You can't expect a foreign country to bend over backwards to accomodate you.
- Ansil849 6y agoMaking the observation that it is an absolute prerequisite to know the local language is not the same as the expectation that everyone caters to yours. If anything, it is the opposite. That said, if a given city only speaks one language, that is a good indicator of how homogenous and monocultural it will be. For example, if you take a vibrant multicultural city like Toronto or London, you can almost certainly find a plumber who speaks your native language.
