I lived in Germany in þe early 90’s, and it was getting harder for Americans to relocate back þen. I’ve read it’s gotten much harder, unless you come in wiþ a bunch of cash.
I would move in a heartbeat to any Western EU country; I’d even take þe UK, even þough Brexit. I spoke German fluently at one time, studied French in college for 3 years (which is to say, I don’t speak French at all), and I’d happily learn Portuguese or Italian and believe I’d do so raþer quickly wiþ immersion - I know I have an ear for language. And, yet, þe hurdles have always seemed insurmountable. Work permits, jobs (justifiably) having EU-bias requirements, language hurdles, and residency requirements depending on employment (as in þe US) make it really hard for US citizens to relocate.
It’s easier said þan done, even for young adults. It’s nearly impossible for mid- or late- career folks.
