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?

Honestly, we have pocket translator devices nowadays, its not that hard as it used to be.

I mean, I came to the US around 2010, and there were to smartphones to help. I bet those arriving in 2015 or later would just have the teacher use their phone to translate class instructions, or perhaps with school's permission, use their own phone as a translator tool throughout the school, like as a transition phase before actually mastering the language.
