<p>Feel free to PM me whenever you need to. My parents were German immigrants, and I lived in Germany for awhile as a teen, being the lone “outsider”; I also hosted several high school foreign exchange students. I have a pretty good idea of what effort it takes to adjust to a different culture.</p>
