What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in El Zonte often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as Spanish is the primary language spoken and not everyone is fluent in English. The slower pace of life can also be a challenge for those accustomed to a more fast-paced, structured environment. Additionally, the lack of certain amenities and services that they might be used to in their home countries, such as high-speed internet or a wide variety of shopping options, can be difficult to adjust to. Some expats may also struggle with understanding and adapting to local customs and social norms. Lastly, while El Salvador has made strides in improving safety, crime can still be a concern, particularly for those unfamiliar with the area," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to El Zonte, El Salvador.
