I have a lot of anxiety around language barriers, but if I can get over that (and the costs, and the shitshow that would be returning to the US), it would be an incredible trip for sure. Hell, I'd move there if we could pull it off.

I went for two months when I was younger. It was awesome. This was before live translation via phone was a thing, and I still managed to get by. The people were very kind and helpful and the country is beautiful. I think it would be pretty easy to be just fine now that your phone can reliably translate basic stuff for you.

I've been there as a tourist, good memories. The language barrier is real, but it makes for really funny translations to be randomly found on the streets.
