Living in Macedonia

In my experience most native Macedonians are open, friendly and very welcoming indeed.  It is one of the elements which most attracted me to Macedonia in the first place after coming here to meet some of my partner's family.  There is an openess here which means that natural friendships develop quite easily.  The language barrier is a challenge, personally I have struggled to learn Macedonian (and continue to do so) but most of my generation (Early 30's) speak Engllish to some degree.

Macedonia is a multienthnic state. Albanians and Macedonians. We can say that there is an equality between them in each aspect. Albanian and Macedoanian language are official languages in Macedonia.Albanianns are speaking albanian language in schools, in books, in newspaper and in each state institutiuions at the same time the macedonians do the same.
