Hi,

Sorry to hear that you are having a hard time getting adjusted. It was the same for me really. The first year I could not understand anything but its been two years and I have been constantly trying to improve with Slovene. It gets better but it takes time. If you are truly happy with your partner and want to stay then ask him to help you learn the basics or take a short course in Slovene. It will help. Wishing you lots of luck and you can always write to me if you need someone to chat with nadirak8@gmail.com

Regards,

Fellow expat Nadira
