Welcome to Europe, researchers!

Lots of great choices and don't worry, you can move to France without knowing French or Denmark without knowing Danish!

wait you dont actually need to know French or Danish? How's the local perception of English speaking foreigners, i.e. is it offensive to respond in English if the waiters/locals ask in French?

Tbh the language barrier is 1 of the reasons holding me back. Havent tried for positions in France and Denmark yet, but for the ones I looked in Germany and Spain, you need to know German or Spanish. Even the job ads are in German/Spanish...

Spain is a better choice, but in Germany are more people speaking English, on the other hand pretty right wing. But in academic circles it becomes irrelevant.
