His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain... -
Originally posted by Mordac View PostNot bitter in the slightest, I don't enjoy living in hotels, no matter where they might be. About a month is my absolute limit. I am slightly annoyed that it's so much easier for EU citizens to work in the UK than it is for UK citizens to work in most of the EU.
Despite that, English is a widely accepted language for work in most EU countries as I and others told you already.
But if you want to tell yourself that language is a barrier for Brits to work abroad, suit yourself...
I doubt those thousands or even millions of EU citizens working in Germany or Switzerland speak their language.

Old Gregs Frau ist eine Hündin in der Kirche.
While you can get a job only speaking English in Switzerland, you've a far better of chance of staying in work if you speak the local language. I already speak French and German - now I'm learning the local dialect. It can be a bit weird. The word for wristwatch is Gellereti - from the French "Quelle heure et-il?".Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

And once more, in dialect. "Old Gregs Frau isch e Hündin i dr Kirche." Not so different. It's a bit like speaking High German with a Brummie accent.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment
