Even though London is an English speaking country, some of the phrases they use just didn't translate. This made for some miscommunication but also some interesting conversation. The British use "fit" when referring to someone who is attractive, so you can imagine my date's confusion when I responded to being called fit by saying I hadn't been to the gym in a while.
In non-English speaking countries, the language barrier can be more of a problem, but don't let that stop you from putting yourself out there anyway. Google translate exists for a reason! You can also use this challenge as an opportunity to completely immerse yourself in the culture and learn the language. Besides, kissing and chemistry always transcend language barriers!
