choss

Vorrei dire 'Ciao'!

Sto provando a imparare italiano, ma so che ci sono molto non lo so. Spero che non ti dispiaccia se provo a parlare italiano

Vorrei leggere libri per bambini e ragazzi per migliorare. Quali libri come questi ti piacciono?

~~Come ti sentono delle persone degli stati uniti? Ho applicato per cittadinanza jure sanguinis, ma ho paura che persone lì non si piacerò. Come ti senti di jure sanguinis, generalmente?~~ (actually I just saw that you already answered this when Fondots asked it, scusami)

Sai qualcosa di scalata in Italia? O delle rocce lì? Vivi in Piemonte, sì? Penso a Finale Ligure - la conosci?

(annnnd because I'm certain I made mistakes, in english)

Oh and in bocca al lupo per la tua gara! Grazie per il tuo tempo :)

Hey again, I recognize you! Hey, I met a gal recently who shared a lot of her life story with me, and it was eerie how much it rhymed with what I've seen you say about yourself. Her parents were from Hong Kong, she went through a lot growing up, had a really rough relationship with her parents, especially her mom.

I don't think I have a cogent point to make here, but I wanted to say I thought of you while she was telling me about it. It was a story I think you would have liked to be there for. I think you two would have related on a lot of stuff

I sat at a desk all weekend 🙃

Do you ever make art? Drawing, photography, creative writing? Is there a medium that appeals to you?

It looks like some hemorrhoid went through your profile and downvoted everything, adding a sockpuppet account as well. Forgive them - they're going through a lot right now, what with the hemorrhoid and all

You write it very well!

I admit I'm not familiar with this world of teaching, but it seems like getting TEFL certified is a requirement for some places. I looked a bit at postings online, and from a quick glance it seems most of the UK postings require the CELTA certification? And the cost of this could be a deterrent for you

There's this posting which doesn't require any certification, but this review of the company had a specific complaint at the end that would scare me away, personally.

Here's someone from Russia last year asking for advice. The commenters there suggest Vietnam, and I've seen elsewhere that east Asian countries have more demand. I have no idea if that would appeal to you - could you imagine yourself living there? This person has a bachelor's degree in an unrelated field, so their path may be different than yours. Still, the non-native speaker wiki mentioned there could be a good read for you

I haven't looked at the possibility of teaching russian, but I imagine you would also do well at that if the demand is there

If you're serious about wanting out, the folks on the subreddit IWantOut will have better advice than mine 😅

For what it's worth, I've struggled to get on a solid path too, and it always bothered me when people would give advice that sounded nice but was realistically never viable. I apologize if I'm doing the same now. I'm sorry your situation is so hard. You don't deserve to cry when your only crimes were the circumstances of your birth. I'm glad you come here to vent, and I hope you continue to do so as long as it continues to help. Be well <3

You speak english fluently, and I assume you speak russian as well. That's an impressive skill to me! What about getting a TEFL certificate? I've known a few people who did that while living nomadically in vans. Is that viable for russian citizens?

I appreciate your presence on this website a lot and that's a genuine sentiment. Most of your other posts are pretty bleak (and I appreciate them too) but this one got a good giggle out of me xD "Why" lol

I got partway through the trailer and decided I needed to pause so I could experience it fresh. It looked too good! I can't wait!

A thousand thanks, Poncho, you definitely are my new favorite one <3

No kidding?? That's huge news! Honestly, thank you so much for letting me know!

How familiar are you with the process? Can I ask you if my line qualifies? If so, this is what it looks like: Me -> F -> GM -> GGM. My GGM was born in Canada, GM born in the states in 1935, GGM naturalized in 1942.

I'm very familiar with the Italian citizenship by descent process, so I know the edge cases around that, but not for Canada. Are there any hidden exceptions that would disqualify someone with my line? They happen a lot for Italy.

Honestly, I'm so glad you made this post! If this works, I'll need to thank you from the bottom of my heart!

When I read about this a few weeks ago, there was a requirement that my GM needed to have lived in Canada for 1,095 days to show a cultural connection. Is this no longer a requirement?

Homie, what you deserve is 'better'. I feel for you
