I am most likely to live in China as that's my wifes home country.I could live in Shanghai fairly easily, but living elsewhere would be more difficult, but still doable. Chinese don't seem to expect foreigners to learn mandarin, so perhaps in a way China could be easier then many countries. Many locals make good effort to learn English. I speak very basic Chinese and know the culture fairly well, so I could survive at least.
I am living in a non-English speaking country. Seven years so far and no regrets. Still have trouble speaking Finnish though but can do it when I need to.
Of course.
I already live in non-English speaking country (and have lived here for my whole life) and English is NOT my native language.
Better question would be: 'Could you live in a country where most people don't speak your native language', as native language of quite many people here is not English.
Much better question.
Yes, I could live in a country where the language isn't Spanish or English. In fact I'm looking forward to it.
The whole non-english speaking world are rude because your aunt had problems with some germans.
Is that what you are saying or is it just germans? Is it all germans or just some? Are there no rude people in the english speaking world?
Rude or not, the majority of them wouldn't understand you. It will no their first language. This is pretty much common sense.
Though I do hear many Swedes know English and that it's some '2nd' language there.
Yes, for China I only know Mandarin and some Cantonese, if I head further inland I may end up having to speak a conservative dialect!
English is frequently spoken in Hong Kong, the British left their mark, in food, government, and loanwords.
Singapore too. I actually have a love hate relationship with the mainland.
I could do it in any country, but it may not go smoothly if I need learn something in Eastern Europe, not because its too difficult. The reason, its hard to explain.
