My partner did say most people will speak English with me, which is true but when I visited, I found that his family and store staff etc had a lot of difficulty understanding me due to my accent. My "English for white people" accent, which I use automatically daily when talking to my partner and other white people. So I'm so worried haha, worried about so many things.
My partner doesn't want to live in a city, but we're looking at close to a city so I can access public transport. However...I think stations, bus stop names etc will be in Norwegian too. OMG I'll have to really work on my social anxiety and get used to asking strangers for help 
You're right that my current living situation isn't good. My family is pressuring me a lot as well. |
I'm sure they'll get used to it soon
So will you. I learned chinese for a year and then changed teacher. I didn't understand a word the new teacher said for about 5 weeks.
Same with english, I was in Dubling for 4 weeks. Had no problems there, but as soon as I was in Belfast, I was just standing there and thinking: "WTF, what are they talking about? What language are they using?"
Aaand... Many other examples as my country has 4 official languages
