What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in Trogir often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture. Croatian is a Slavic language and can be difficult to learn, especially for those who are used to Romance or Germanic languages. Another challenge is the slower pace of life, which can be frustrating for those used to a faster, more efficient pace. Things like administrative tasks or getting repairs done can take longer than expected. Understanding and adapting to local customs and traditions can also be a challenge. For instance, Croatians are known for their hospitality and often expect guests to accept offers of food or drink. Refusing such offers can be seen as rude. The bureaucracy in Croatia can also be a challenge for expats. Dealing with government agencies can be time-consuming and complicated, with many forms to fill out and procedures to follow. Lastly, while Croatians are generally friendly and welcoming, it can take time to form deep, meaningful friendships with locals. This can lead to feelings of isolation or loneliness for some expats," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Trogir, Croatia.
