Yes. I'm learning the language everyday. I meet with two locals once a week for just 3 weeks. I did have a tutor for 8 weeks, and I meet with an expat language Exxon/GE group 2-4 times a month.
No, I have moved a lot. This is my 30th home in 37 years of marriage because of my husband's profession.

Moderately big because of the hazards of a big city and living an urban lifestyle for the first time.
Yes, as with all moves, there is a culture shock that is similar to the phases of death... in my opinion.
Sadness....I had to be more mindful with the negative people I was hanging with or talking on the phone with. Now I only give them up to 30 minutes... life is better;)
The love and care of the Mendocinos, the warmth of strangers, the food, the faires, the eventos, the family atmosphere.
Siesta and adjusting my life to this time table.
I used translate for I would like to hook up with you...i.e. Meet with you. I needed the word hook up. When I used it, my friend said who do you want to [email protected] wrong word!!! So be careful of translate app.
Jump in, embrace, have a kind heart, send out love and it will come back. Be wary and learn and absorb. If you're unhappy get more involved! I went back to the states for 4 weeks and then when I came back I joined the local gym, biked more and joined a volleyball team??
