For those who moved abroad — what phone calls / admin stuff did you dread because of the language?

Moved-abroad folks: in your first months, was there any call or task you kept putting off because you had to do it in a language you weren't fluent in? (booking a doctor, sorting a SIM, calling a landlord, uni admin, etc.)

Curious about:

  • What was the most stressful one, and what did you actually do about it?
  • Did you ever get someone else to make the call for you? (friend, partner, paid service?)
  • Or did you just avoid it / switch to a company with English support?
