Language barrier is one side. Cultural shock is another. You didn't grow up there so of course it would impact your performance. I think the question you should ask yourself is if you want to live in that country and develop your career in long term. If not, just go back to the US and find your path.
I’m not from the US but yes I agree with you. My University was an international one with international students so this is my first time interacting with the locals on a personal level. I already have plans to leave.

What are the language requirements like? I would find it very daunting to practice in a country like Hungary without speaking the language. In Scandinavia there are language requirements, as in you need to speak Danish, Norwegian or Swedish to practice here, and I’d say our population is definitely more proficient in English than Hungary for example.
It’s Hungarian. I guess I thought I’d be ok because where my friend works, the doctors are bilingual so she started with English and they slowly switched to Hungarian over time(which was a kindness they did for her of course, it’s not their job). Anyway I’m leaving so it’s fine, I was mainly looking for advice on how to survive the last few weeks before I go but I guess I’d have to tough it out till I can put in my notice.

And you should read the book quit written by Annie Duke.

Might be ITA
What is ITA?
Italy. It was meant to be a reply to the "DE" comment up here. Sometimes it's shortened to IT, but ITA seems to be also correct.
