Date: 2021-03-28 12:13 pm (UTC)One of my huge regrets (and there aren't very many) is that I left Belgium three months before I could have claimed citizenship because I'd been offered a uni place back here. And I went there originally able to speak French and soon picked up some Flemish.
Many Brits, myself included, would give their eye teeth for dual nationality now and unless Latvia decides to come over for people of Jewish ancestry as Germany has, my only chance is being married to a Scot!

Date: 2021-03-29 01:28 pm (UTC)Even in countries we've visited like Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic where we'd no idea of the language (we can muster French, German, Italian and a bit of Flemish between us) we tried to learn 'please', 'thank you' and good 'morning/evening'.
As you say, it's called making an effort!
