If you decide at some time to give it a go, it would be worth while to spend some time learning the language before hand.

Not sure, it was for me. I lived in Poland and it was fine. I lived in China, and even there I’d say I seldom encountered a situation where I’d need help to do stuff like banking, shopping, doctor and so forth. Unless unless you’re living in a remote area, you’ll be fine. Just my experience.

As some have already mentioned, the issue with these houses is the additional requirements that come with them. Firstly, it's important to note that the €1 price tag is simply a starting point and prospective buyers must submit their bids in a sealed envelope to a designated office, with the highest bidder ultimately securing the purchase. Secondly, these houses are often historical buildings and cannot simply be demolished and rebuilt to the buyer's specifications - repairs and restoration are necessary. Lastly, any work on these properties must be carried out by a certified company, with a recommended or required company often designated by the office. This means that buyers cannot rely on DIY efforts or the help of friends without incurring significant costs. All of these factors can add up to a substantial expense....

When I first heard of it I thought of buying couple kegs of beer and just inviting my brother, but well, it's most of the times impossible.
