On the first few days
Do you believe that is the worst that may happen? Oh non, just wait for the first two weeks, survive them and you will have a nice stay abroad.

Stay positive – it’s the best way to learn quick a foreing language, it doesn’t matter if you’r talking in spanish, french, italian or german. The important is, you try to make people understand you, so keep the dictonary close to you, it’s more important than your credit card.
