[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just chiming in to say that I found it difficult as well. Many don't know English well and aren't willing to learn and I'm not keen on learning their language. One would think that immigrants would want to communicate with their "new" society, but in my experience, they tend to isolate themselves by only communicating with people from their culture. When I was in other countries, I made every effort to communicate in the dominant language, even if I wasn't great at it. I made an effort. Op, if you really want to reach out to them on their terms, send your neighbors a note in their native language. See if that breaks the ice.[/quote] +1 no need to learn english. also no desire to learn english. Or baseball, or the anthem, or apple pie. [/quote] Anthem - yes, but otherwise it’s soccer and strudel for me. I like what I like.[/quote] Genau! Ich auch. [/quote]
