while I tend to do pretty well at most things for some reason languages elude me. I have tried but it's so frustrating how it just doesn't stick.

Of all the people that I know that have moved here I know just a handful of people who live some sort of exotic life in a really nice place or something like that and those folks were very successful in their work life and dropped a lot of money for the luxury. This idea that you are going to rock up over here and be immediately whisked away to your palace is a fool's venture.
