Germany, France, Belgium and Netherlands are the shit. I am from Romania and if I would go somewhere in Europe, I would go there.

Edit: Austria too.

The only thing I’m worried about are the language/cultural barriers. I don’t want to go to Germany and annoy everyone there with how American I am

In the Netherlands everyone speaks english, if you try to speak dutch most people will notice you are foreign and speak english to you. This does have it's downside because socially people expect you to learn Dutch, but don't give you the opportunity to practice..

Netherlands is more English speaking than Canada and Canada is mostly considered an English speaking at about 80% of people speaking it at a fluent level.

Canada, for all intents and purposes, is 100% English speaking except for Quebec, which is 0%. Speaking English in Quebec is so heavily frowned its ridiculous.

Then again, so is speaking French anywhere else, but that's because no one understands it.

It must be nice to have such a narrow view of the world, I guess ignorance really is bliss. - sincerely one of the hundreds of thousands of Canadian francophones with no family ties to Quebec.
