I’ve written a post about my intent to be a DNV in some small city in Spain, but my Spanish is not even 5-year old level. To solve that, I’m currrently looking for language schools in my country, so I can at least have some basic understanding of Spanish/Catalan and maybe not appear like a tourist the whole first year in such a beautiful country.
Anyone else who wanted to learn the language of the country they’re going to? For those who didn’t, what was the experience like? Did you eventually learn their native language?
Takes too long to learn the language of a place you’re just going to be in for a few months. For all intents and purposes, you’re a tourist. If you’re planning to become a permanent resident, sure, go ahead, since it’s not great to live in a place where you don’t understand what people say.
