Being spanish and having started my own school right here in my hometown means I speak the language of the country I live in fairly well.
But it is very interesting to read all the things you go through when you move to a different country.
Frauke how about all the thing we do ourselves in Spain? Like "me opero" (I operate myself) or "me corté el pelo" (Icut my hair)... I bet that's rather surprising if you are not a spanish speaker.
