You could open a second account and agree with whatever you wrote.

Nice move from China and Canada. Hope the EU will do something similar.

Das mag auch sein. Allerdings muss man dazu sagen, dass man, wenn man nicht selbst in irgendeiner Art und Weise damit zu tun hat, schnell etwas Falsches sagt, weil man es nicht besser weiß. Das ist dann nicht despektierlich gemeint. Ich habe zum Beispiel absolut kein Problem damit, wie sich eine Person identifiziert. Aber alleine jetzt beim Schreiben muss man höllisch aufpassen darauf, welche Wörter man benutzt. Daher, im Namen aller, die aus Versehen etwas Falsches sagen: Es tut uns aufrichtig leid. Bitte habt Verständnis.

What 'place' are we actually talking about here?

That's the general problem for everyone who is not from US here on Lemmy: Everybody from US assumes that everybody knows we are talking about US. I would never say that "the ideal life is being born in 1947" and I was wondering why anyone would say that. That's right after World War 2. Must have been a crazy time.

Fun facts about Germany: No fun in Germany. Get back to work!

However, German humour is very special. Me, as a German, I love it.

Where are the boobies?

A better example might be "home" and "some", where only one letter is different, but the pronounciation is completely different. There are many words like these. English doesn't make sense at all.

To me, ICE is a high-speed train. I mean, I could look it up, check what it means in US. But at this point, I am not interested enough.

Firstly, you should think about the area you want to move to. Accordingly, you may need to learn languages. In the UK, the Nordic countries and Germany, you can get by well with English. In France, however, French is usually a must.

There are a few US-Americans working here in Luxembourg (mainly in banking and IT). English is often sufficient for professional purposes here. Privately, at least one other language is important (French, German or Luxembourgish). In a public school, children learn all three languages. There are a number of immigrants here who no longer understand their children.

All in all, it is still possible. Take a look around the job portals and simply apply.
