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

@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 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

[madalex@fosstodon.org]

@Gina Is there an IoT sensor in Satan's armpits, broadcasting its readings to the mortal sphere, and where can an interested party access it?

[gina@fosstodon.org]

@semanticfire not yet, I think it's my last option in Spain, if this region doesn't work out. Valencia's and below are "gevoelsmatig" too hot and too far away from mainland Europe.

[semanticfire@mastodon.social]

@Gina I don't know about the tech scene, but the northern part had a real nice vibe to it

[themipper@mastodon.social]

@Gina it is interesting to follow your toots on moving to Spain.

Reminds me of me 4 years ago.

I ended up near Cambrils which is an hours drive to the Barcelona Airport.

I needed some time to disconnect after leaving my previous job that is why I haven't looked if there is a tech focused community around. Probably gonna do that in the next couple of months.

The heat (or more the humidity) is only the 2-3 months in summer. And over time you fascinatingly get used to it.
