You need to know the language in order to adapt quickly to a new place. This way, you will be able to follow common norms, easily explain what you need to do at the bank or car repair shop, and understand what people around you want from you. Here are a few times when language skills will come in handy:
- A check is not a piece of paper with a shopping list on itbut a document that can be cashed. Just explain to the cashier how you want to do it
- It's very difficult without a car. You'll need a local driver's license. Getting one is a challenge if you don't know the language!
- You can explain to the doctor where it hurts and how badly by gestures. It's good to have a doctor who understands you correctly
- It's boring to walk around the city, travel and have fun alone. I'd like to make new friends who know great places
- Writing a resume in English is not an easy task. Get a good job - level 80
- Knowledge of English is needed everywhere: in banks, hospitals, beauty salons, stores, university, kindergarten. Even making your own coffee in a coffee shop can be difficult
And lastly. If you constantly communicate with Russian-speaking residents, your adaptation will be more difficult and slower. So get out of your comfort zone and learn the language. It will make your life easier, more comfortable and much more interesting!
