I speak English (fluently) and Spanish (well enough I'm living in Spain and all my classes are in Spanish and it's fine)!
The weird thing with studying abroad though is by the standards of other Erasmus students I'm weird. One of my friends here speaks four languages extremely well (Italian, English, German, and Spanish) and that's not even unusual it's wild.
I'm desperate to learn more though, at school I took one year where I had Spanish, french, Latin, and classical Greek and it was wonderful
(i’m counting languages where you took one class for a semester if you retained any of it congrats you are a little multilingual)

Honestly, probably the best social tip I could ever give you guys is literally just ask. Need to make a doctor's appointment but don't know how? Call the doctor's office and ask. Don't know the meaning of what someone said? Ask them. Don't understand the instructions you were given? Ask them to repeat or clarify. This has literally never failed me, no one's gotten angry, no one's refused to answer.
Even in situations where you think it might not work, I once accidentally missed a deadline to accept a job offer, so I called and asked if they could reset it and they did. Just today I called a doctor and asked how to schedule an appointment, the lady told me how, and then I did it. Didn't know if someone was being sarcastic or not, so I asked and they told me. Just ask.
Omar, so sick of this bullshit, making Andhera teleport just to tell Rue how in love Hob is with them:
Endless ACOFAF

I went on a walking tour in Granada today and it ended up being just my partner and I and the tour guide (paying 40€ for a private tour instead of 200€? an absolute win), who was a) our age and b) even more of a history nerd than me. What followed was two hours of intense history learning (as I kept asking questions) and it was an absolutely delightful time of two history nerds nerding out, and my partner being excited to learn as well but just being amused. be! supportive! of! other! people's! interests! it's more fun for everyone
no offense but if someone is excited about something and you make them feel stupid for being excited about it you are the worse type of person
helnik? yes please!!
We always walked a very thin line. You didn’t even hear me out.
Something I've realised recently is that my perception of pain is a mess. I had a headache the other day (probably tiredness or hayfever related you know nothing that unusual) and it just... Didn't occur to me to take painkillers? I think I having had a several year period with chronic pain which didn't respond to pain killers has just got me completely out of the habit of taking them for even really trivial stuff.
My face is having uncontrollable spasms. Great. It hurts really, really, really bad.
I think part of why I have trouble explaining pain to the doctor is when they ask about the pain scale I always think “Well, if someone threw me down a flight of stairs right now or punched me a few times, it would definitely hurt a lot more” so I end up saying a low number. I was reading an article that said that “10” is the most commonly reported number and that is baffling to me. When I woke up from surgery with an 8" incision in my body and I could hardly even speak, I was in the most horrific pain of my life but I said “6” because I thought “Well, if you hit me in the stomach, it would be worse.”
