When planning to move abroad, one of the most important things to focus on is learning the language of your host country.
While enrolling in language courses is the most common approach, I highly recommend building on that by immersing yourself in the local culture through movies, news broadcasts, podcasts, blogs, and following social media from the host country. By doing so, you are not only learning the language but also picking up the slang, idioms, and nuances of how natives communicate. This will help you better understand everyday conversations and interact more naturally with locals.
With language courses providing you with a solid foundation and the host country’s media helping you perfect the language, you will be all set to interact with locals more naturally, making your transition abroad smoother.
