Have you considered emigrating from the US? If so, where to?
(discuss.online)
Either in regards to the current political situation, or for other reasons. What drew you to the idea of living in another country? Do you think whatever benefits it offers are really worth it, or is the grass just greener on the other side of the fence?
This is a very valid concern. "I want to move my wife to the Netherlands even if she doesn't speak the language." Would fire red flags everywhere. Not speaking the language is isolating and gives all power to the person who does. Learning is challenging. If not, just learn before moving.
Did you read the conversation? The real move is in France.
If you are concerned about France, why did your comment only reference "the Netherlands"?
If you wanted to give an example of a country where about one-third of people speak English, you could have used Italy or maybe Poland ("However, other surveys show that over 50% of Poles can speak English. Another study shows that 89% of Polish students are learning and/or can speak English.").
Because it's a conversation... That's how conversations work, you don't repeat every piece of context in every sentence.
Sorry that went over your head.
