Yep. You would think it would be a high priority. I do get that language learning is hard, and while she does mention they didn’t learn the country language, it feels like they blame the people, the culture, the food, etc. a little too much.

This couple plan to return to the US after their dream life in France became a β€˜nightmare’ | CNN They moved to France from San Francisco and planned to spend the rest of their lives there. But just 12 months later, Joanna McIsaac-Kierklo and her husband Eddie have had enough.
