As EUropean living in a different country for work, is not that easy at all. Try to do your taxes in Swedish or German or French.. Or try to have a social life

As EUropean living in a different country for work, is not that easy at all. Try to do your taxes in Swedish or German or French.. Or try to have a social life with people that while could speak English will probably switch to their own language when in more than 2-3 person. Yes of course you can learn the language, but dont think you can be proficient in a couple of year, especially if working 40h/week, and still you will be proficient in a country at max
- varispeed 5y ago> will probably switch to their own language when in more than 2-3 person. That's just rude and why would you want to socialise with such people. I had some great experiences and even when I was the only person not speaking the local language, everyone spoke English in my presence. There is plenty of people that have standards and if you cannot find them at a given time, just focus on something else.

- beebeepka 5y agoIsn't it a bit much to expect everyone to accommodate you? What if some don't speak English? It could be rude but not necessarily. Context matters

- nextaccountic 5y ago> I had some great experiences and even when I was the only person not speaking the local language, everyone spoke English in my presence That's kinda rude if non-English speaking people join the conversation.
