  • I can tell you didn’t actually read my comment, or you would have seen we didn’t speak the language.

    No one expects anyone new to a country to be able to speak the language, it’s a bonus, but not expected.

    No one cares that you are American, other than a few strays. My experience has been that being American actually made people currious about me and I would say more friendly.

    I’m an Electronic Tech, but that job here is over saturated so I had to find a new path. I personally picked nursing. To be able to go the school for that I had to learn the language from scratch. I attended an Integrations class, that got me from a0-b1 in the language. After that I attended another class to get me to b2. It took roughly 2 years to get to where I am now.

    I had zero savings, my ex wife had just passed away a few days before Christmas, helping with her funeral drained what little I did have put away. I kept hearing about school shootings and in one week our local walmart had been shot up and a kid was stopped from bringing a gun into my sons school. I said I’m done, we’re leaving, I sold my car and bought plane tickets. Life fucking has to suck sometimes before it can get better. Everyday for a long time was a struggle, but now we are on our feet again and happy.

    If anyone reads this and wants advice/tips dm me.

    It’s better to struggle than to live under Facisim.
