"Most people are nice and will help if they can. They are happy to speak English if they can," remarked another expat who made the move to Tel Aviv, Israel.
"The people here are so warm. They will not trust you at first, but when you prove to them you are a nice person, they will open up to you. Most people have learned English from an early age here, and are often eager to speak to you in English. This was so helpful and crucial when I first came here," explained one expat living in Kfar Saba, Israel.
