Ah, Eastern Europe? Nevermind then. --- End quote --- Learning the local language is a social contact booster. Even if one manages only to engage in clumsy basic conversation, getting around in the community changes. |

I know far too many girls that fell in love with strange strangers of different country origin, that could barely say "hello" in our native language. |

What I was trying to say is that speaking the language opens social doors. I didn’t try to imply that not speaking it is blocking one to socialise and meet people. |

I think that being a stranger in "the correct way" is the booster. The other girl I know just started dating a stranger because he had blue hair and was looking at her in a pub. (or so was I told about it). But me being stranger myself (in not the correct way), I find females hard to understand. |
