Hi, I'm moving to Austria to spend time with my girlfriend. We've been in a long-term relationship for nearly a year and we'd like to take a step forward. I decided I would move to Vienna at the end of May (early June) and do not speak the language very well.
I've been there to see her two times but those were more holidays, I'm going tomorrow for a week and will be searching for work that can be done with little or no German.
I will not take a language course as I don't learn best in a class environment, and would better learn while working and speaking to the locals on a daily basis.
I thought I'd sign up to the ex-pat blog as well, in case there was anyone who'd had similar experiences and could share their stories with me. Also it seems there are jobs advertised on the site that could be a place to start the job hunt before actually moving into the country.
There's my story, what's yours?
