Spending time in a country that speaks another language is never easy if you don’t speak it!  For people who have to move overseas for studying or abroad, it is vital to sort out the basics before you leave, such as banking and finance.  Sometimes, even when a country is relatively close to yours geographically speaking, it can have completely different rules on banking.  If you plan to send money to your family at home while you are away, you can use a money transfer service online.  In German-speaking countries you can ask anyone by saying “Geld ins Ausland überweisen” and they will understand what you need.  Or you can simply type it into a good internet search engine!
