People are shocked I’m learning German BEFORE moving, I really don’t get how you can move (not travel) to another country without knowing at least the very basics of the language?

Anglophones who move to Italy but refuse to learn the language are so embarrassing when you consider that Italian is really damn easy to learn.

It makes me crazy when people don’t view living in a foreign country as a wonderful chance for immersive language acquisition.
