#74 No Fluency Required: How to Move Abroad Without Speaking the Language

Ever tried to order a meal in a foreign country and ended up with something totally unexpected? Like that time I asked for a "tomato salad" in France and got a plate of just tomatoes. Language barriers can lead to some pretty funny situations, but they can also feel intimidating when you're thinking about moving abroad.

In today's episode, we're diving deep into the world of language learning and breaking down why moving to a country where you don't speak the language isn't as scary as it might seem. I'll share my personal experiences from living in countries like China, Vietnam, and Georgia—places where I either had to learn the language from scratch or get by without speaking it fluently. 

Spoiler alert: you don’t need to be fluent to survive and thrive!

What You'll Learn:

• Why Language Shouldn’t Hold You Back
• Practical Tips for Learning a New Language
• Navigating Life Without Speaking the Local Language
• Can You Get a Job on the Ground Without Fluency?
• Why Your Mindset is Everything.
