    Come to the Netherlands then. I know plenty of expats who live here for more than a decade already who still can’t speak a word of Dutch. You can get by with English alone especially in the cities like Amsterdam. Even their kids have low Dutch language skills since they go to an international school. You can stay in an English bubble for your entire life if you want to.

      Please don’t. I’m extremely welcoming to foreigners but I really don’t like how many non-Dutch people move here and never bother learning the language. I don’t want bubbles of foreigners, I want an integrated society. I don’t want a bunch of international schools, public schools here are fine and kids learn languages quickly and easily.

      I know a bunch of people who’ve lived here for a long time as well who don’t speak any Dutch and honestly I find it a bit embarrassing for them. Imagine moving somewhere and not bothering to learn the language at all! I feel like you’re just showing your laziness and ignorance.

      I know how to say "appelmaus" but I've probably spelled it wrong.

  We need visas now 😡

  I tried to move to Helsinki, Munich or Hamburg to get out of London but nobody, even places way below what I’d already got in London, would sponsor me a visa

  Most British people aren’t going to be moving abroad - it’s much harder now due to Brexit. People will be moving from the small towns and villages into the cities.

  Any opportunities for us unskilled Brits who have EU passports? I’ve always wanted to live in Germany and learn the language <3

    If you have an EU passport you can do any unskilled job, though you’ll need to learn the language.
