Alright now that I shared my awesome new job, I can finally share with you how moving abroad is going.

@Gina I learned French in school and then worked in Catalonia for 6-7 years, sometimes I wouldn’t know which language I was doing a disservice to, Catalan, Spanish, French or even Italian

[ravenlb@infosec.exchange]

@Gina ¡buena suerte!

@eseilt lol I call it 'speaking fluent European.'

[eseilt@mastodon.scot]

@Gina the most important thing is not which language you order your coffee in, but knowing what the words "caffe", "espresso", "latte" etc. mean locally. It changes from town to town sometimes.

@Gina

I studied Spanish on my own for 15 years, learnt close to nothng. Switched to German 3 years ago (because #Moodle), can hardly say anything. Was in Paris for a weekend recently, kept wanting to say Si instead of Oui...

Pay day soon and I will stop the self study and get some online lessons...

@Gina

Tu parles français avec des a et des o à la fin et c'est bon tu parles espagnol

@Gina I particularly love English to Spanish false cognates. A couple of my favorites:

English groceries are not Spanish grocerias

I may be embarrassed but I'm not embarazada

@Gina the more important being able to ask for a beer in all country, so basically if you are able to ask "une bière s'il vous plaît" and "una salvezza por favor" , you got it !

@xconde I would sell my dead grandma and a left kidney to live in Kiama.

@Gina Heh, reminds me of my sister when they bought their latest house. It came with two fully grown peacocks living in the garage.

@Gina it's been many years since I took high school Spanish, but that was the foundation for getting to know a lot of languages around the world (even if I have no other idea)

I should pick it up again. I have ancestry out of Spanish-speaking countries (Spain, Mexico).

@Gina and you could have dope neighbours

@Gina come on! How can you post that without pictures of the donkeys?!?

[gina@fosstodon.org]

Girona is a place #moveabroad #Spain

[milgrim@mas.to]

@Gina it's delightful isn't it!

[gina@fosstodon.org]

Girona is cute, but not a place I'd move to. Tomorrow I'm going back to Platja d'Aro and then Barcelona.

Let's hope it's not Barcelona. #moveabroad

Edit: also I'm really trying to take into account that it won't be this hot all year, but it's hotter than Satans armpit here.

[jajo@mastodon.nu]

@Gina I am moving abroad as well. But I need some things first, like the CISSP cerificate. Why, cause i need a good employer. Toulouse is fine. And you don't need to be french speaking. Even i have studied several times.

[semanticfire@mastodon.social]

@Gina checked northern spain, bilbao, gasteiz etc?

[gblues@bolha.us]

@Gina the saddest part is that the way things look, its going to be hotter and hotter each year
