Although many people in the city speak English, the majority of the population speaks German, and it can be difficult for expats to communicate with locals without a good grasp of the language. Additionally, the local culture is quite traditional and conservative, and expats may find it difficult to adjust to the more formal social norms. Finally, the cost of living in Cologne can be quite high, and expats may find it difficult to find affordable housing and other necessities," replied an expat in Cologne.
