TravelStraddle 12 years agoHey all looking for travel advice…
1. Anyone know what the English is like in Italy, Spain or Germany?
2.Best places in Europe that I can get by with English?
3. If you have been to a country that didn’t speak English (or another language that you are fluent in) how did you cope?Just a memo being I’m planning to stay for 3 months so I’ll kind…[Read more]

I haven’t ever been in Europe for longer than a week or so, but in case you’re interested, the Netherlands is particularly good as (in my experience, anyway!) Dutch people do tend to know English. I also went to Berlin recently and most (though not all) people did speak English, at least a little.
-
I love the Netherlands! I want to learn Dutch and live there, everyone can speak English there and in Flanders!

-
Any metroploitan city in Europe will be fairly easy to navigate in English. English is the default international option, so any area catering to tourists will likely have a lot of English speaking people and signs.
I’ve lived abroad several times in countries where I did not speak the language and have never had big problems getting around or…[Read more]

really good advice. thanks!

I agree with the others, you shouldn’t have a problem. One thing you should do though, is try to learn the language — when I was last travelling I found listening to pod casts was great, and easy to do while you were on trains, planes etc. The most important word you’ll need is excuse me.

If you want to go north, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Iceland are essentially bilingual countries… most people you meet will be fluent and the ones who aren’t can still speak conversational English. They are kind of expensive though, especially Norway. Sweden is a little cheaper than Denmark.

Hello lovelies…does anyone know of a hair salon in the Boston area that does good alternative lifestyle cuts? Mine is short and I want to avoid having it look too matronly. Or matronly at all, actually. And cheaper is better. Thank you!

Ooh ooh! Liquid Hair Studios, on Tremont Street. They’re super great with short hair, and all-around awesome people. Plus they have a wax bust of Elvis in the bathroom, so there’s something.

I know this is a little late, but I’ve heard great things about Station 8 in Jamaica Plain. And the folks there are pretty queer. I’ve also had a good cut at Miss Laura’s, also in JP.
