Yeah as they said it gets better. I moved to Germany like ago and started taking intermediate language courses. Since not everyone speaks English, the teacher almost entirely speaks German, but on a level we should understand. I couldn’t make out like a word for a couple weeks, but magically it changed and I realized the other day that I followed the last lesson pretty comfortably. Just give it some time, nothing about the effects of a new culture should be counted in days.

I don’t know you but I’d argue that’s a little overdramatized. Pretty much everywhere people will keep up with each other if they try.

Honestly the reason I left is because all of my friends started having long term relationships and were opting to go on dates or what have you every weekend instead of hangout. I definitely still had some friends with the time to make, but things were just getting more fragmented. If I’m going to be lonely, I’d prefer to do it somewhere where the living is better.
