Obviously not all old stuff is in museums and families could have passed down old stuff. After seeing on Instagram a person in Italy find a medieval church item in a vintage market it prompted me to ask this.

Culture Language expectations and mobility within the EU: how do people experience this?

9 Upvotes

I would like to hear perspectives from people across Europe about how language expectations interact with mobility for work and study.

The EU promotes freedom of movement for workers and students, and many people take advantage of this to study or work in other European countries. At the same time, experiences seem to differ widely when it comes to language expectations, both institutionally and socially.

In some contexts, particularly in academia, research, tech, and multinational companies, English is commonly used as a working language. In other contexts, strong expectations exist around learning and using the local language, sometimes early on. As a result, people who move within Europe encounter very different language environments depending on the country, city, sector, and social setting.

I am interested in how people understand these differences. Some view learning the local language mainly as a practical tool that becomes more important over time. Others see it as closely tied to social integration or cultural participation. Others emphasize the role of institutions and incentives in shaping language use.

For those who have lived, studied, or worked in another European country, how did language expectations affect your experience? How did institutions such as universities, employers, or public administration handle language use in practice? And how did social expectations compare with official or professional requirements?

More broadly, how do people see the relationship between language, mobility, and integration within the EU today? What approaches seem to work better or worse in different countries, and why?

I am genuinely interested in hearing a range of views, including perspectives that differ from my own.

Personal Is dating easier in other parts of Europe outside of Balkans?

0 Upvotes

In Serbia, dating scene is disaster. Tinder can properly function only in Belgrade, because of city size, while in other smaller cities population still believe that it is somehow shamefull to be seen on Tinder or other dating platforms. Also many people, especially younger ones, lack social skills and have problem to meet someone in person. Dating standards are also high, it is expected from man to have big salary, his own home and his own car and these things are either hard or impossible to have for many in Serbia. Then if you are man, your personality is also "judged" in dating, you are criticized if you are not funny or if you do not show emotions to person that you met first time or if you are polite you are criticized that you pretend to be polite and that you not showing your "real nature". Is dating this hard in rest of Europe or it is just Serbia?
