Great video but...Please STOP telling Americans that they can move to a foreign country and “get away with speaking English.” The last thing we need is to export ignorance. The “Ugly American” stereotype is (unfortunately) real. If one decide to move to a foreign country, it is one’s responsibility to learn their language and customs. It is no ones responsibility to speak English for you.

Let me just toss in _my_ two cents' worth. It's all well and good to be able to get _by_ on English, but if you're going to _live_ in a country where the official language is something _else,_ and classes in that country's language are available and don't _charge_ anything (as is often the case), it is the _height_ of irresponsibility and laziness on _your_ part to ask a country you are _moving_ to to _continue_ accommodating you in _your_ language. Take the classes. Do the work. Surround yourself with the language and learn it.

I don't know because Muslims come to the US and claim they don't speak English the bulk of them. I live in Jersey City, and they are all over here speaking their language and always claiming they don't understand 🤷

[@lazyperfectionist1]

@@reneecrane5344 Oh, they probably don't. I would have to say, more than likely, this is probably because the organizations in the US that teach English _cost_ something; something which, if you're a newcomer to the country, you probably don't have to spare. You probably have to choose between _taking courses_ or the sort of thing the average person would find a bit more indispensable, like keeping the roof over your head. It's different if you're _born_ here, though. If you grow _up_ in the US, you can probably expect to learn English along the way, so the Muslims you refer to (not that this is just a religion thing, because it happens just as readily with African, Middle-Eastern, Hispanic and Asian immigrants just as readily) usually expect to have kids and focus on just making sure they learn _English,_ but _also_ retain whatever language the _parents_ speak, so they can translate between the languages as they grow up, and so help the parents to connect _indirectly._ It's different, though, in countries where the classes that teach that country's language _don't_ cost anything and all you have to worry about is _studying_ that language and keeping yourself _immersed_ in it so it's the first language you hear when you wake up in the morning and the last thing you hear before you go to bed. In an environment like that, where you don't have to worry about the essentials of health and hygiene, but the language is otherwise your main means of connecting with your environment, you soak it up. Of course this is, all too often, _not_ the situation in the US, hence the old joke: Q: What do you call someone who speaks _three_ languages? A: trilingual. Q: What do you call someone who speaks _two_ languages? A: bilingual. Q: What do you call someone who only speaks _one_ language? A: American.

I'm not living in another country but I've traveled around the world. My husband was born in France. I strongly suggest not planning to move to a country without learning the language at least on a basic level. You will have less chances of being taken advantage of if you find yourself in an area where folks don't speak English. I also strongly suggest anyone moving to France to learn the language. In some circles folks may know English but refuse to speak it. In most areas outside of Paris you will have problems maneuvering without knowing the language. Learning another language lets people know you really care about their culture.

When you're a tourist of course it's going to be nice because you're coming over to spend money in another local economy and then you're going back home.

The biggest thing missing in all of these touristy type videos are jobs. Years ago, I read a book about where people should move to in the US. We actually picked our next city based on all the great things this book had to say except for one thing, my job (engineering) was NOT there. So, just like Atlanta GA for instance. Nice place but only for people in the financial industries, education and very little engineering jobs. These things are important in a move to another city or in this case, country. That's just the tip of the iceberg.

Yes, Costa Rica is a bit more expensive. But returns, safety, healthy environment, healthy foods, friendly people, Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

The Ghana pros: cheap fruits and vegetables, great weather all year round, cheap seafood, you can live like a king with 2,000 a month but if you ain't retired yet you've to create your own business. People are nice but very narrow minded and way too religious. Costa Rica: it's not cheap, as a black latino I felt many times like an outcast (in the Pacific side) now in Limon (east coast) I felt better because everybody's black. You get easy access to interntet/electricity, health care, its only 3 hours away from Florida. Now electronics are way TOO expensive. Lots of people speak English.

I have lived abroad in Europe for 12 years, 2 different countries. Had a great time visiting many other countries. I don't believe I will ever want to return to return to the US to live mainly because of having less stress and better income security. The best thing I can share is every country has pros and cons. If you have the means, explore and see what countries may be a good fit for you and where you are in life even if you are considering migrating or simply visiting. Don't let fear be a hindrance and try not to impose your fear on to others feeling more adventurous. When you visit, try to learn the culture, some language even if you are visiting, enjoy the foods, arts, shopping etc. Make friends and simply just learn taking in a different perspective to life. If you are Black/African American, definitely broaden your horizons. Sadly, there are too many in powers of position rolling back the hands of time and increasing the discomfort we can feel simply trying to survive life.

The first part of your answer is quite funny though. You just decided that Mozambique was part of Portugal and the Bantu people there were "Portuguese" against their own will by fire by force. Sounds kind of like how the US just decides that all the oil in Iraq is actually American oil... Or how would it feel if Vietnam just decided to invade Portugal, and decided that Portugal was now and forever a part of Vietnam, and if you had any complaints they just said "shut up, you people are Vietnamese, how can you be criticizing your fatherland...you are Vietnamese and therefore Vietnam owns you, your land and all your resources are part of Vietnam, so Vietnam owns and controls them, what's the problem?"

@@CoCo-yv3hl being called names, not being able to hold your partner's hand in fear of a hate crime, I wasn't promoted because I'm gay, I've been turned down for an apartment because I'm gay, can't enjoy my self in a restaurants because ppl look at u like you're an alien, or look at u like they literally want to kill u, my parents r always telling me to be careful and r fearful, demonized in media and many other areas without even saying anything. It's not as easy as u want to think it is.

Really love you touched on the financial part of expat life. On the side of retirement planning now.

[@bill7481]

Thank you so much for this video. This topic has been on my mind. Thank you!

I have a friend that moved to San Felipe, Baja CA. on the Sea of Cortez. She owns an art/ photography store.

I have been fortunate enought to have visited all of these countries, with the exception of Ghana. My dad is Nigerian so have been there a few times. I was born and raised in the US so I can honestly say that Nigeria was always a big difference that I'm not sure I could handle living there unless I lived in the rich bubble of the fancy parts of Lagos. However, I did like Panama, I always feel at home in Mexico CIty even though I speak little to no Spanish (people treat me like a KAING there haha), and Lisbon was a great surprise-it was VERY diverse and reminded me of New Orleans or Rio just because of all the different shades of black folk there. I actually met several black expats in Lisbon while I was there and they loved it there.

Don't sleep on South Africa. Checkout @TheRealSouthAfrica and @TheRepatLifeAdventures-South Africa

[@enilehcodramramlised8716]

Once I get that money, I’m moving outside the US I just haven’t figure out if I want to go to Africa or some other country.

[@sihlen7546]

You should consider South Africa. Checkout @TheRealSouthAfrica and @TheRepatLifeAdventures-South Africa

[@raeisdope1]

This was a great list and video. Thank you!!

[@BlackExcellenceMedia]

Thanks for watching!

[@brandijohnson1326]

Wow costa rica dumped funding the military and focused more on education/health care imagine if amerikkka did that!

[@tjtj6540]

Too greedy

[@chevychase]

Colombia did something similar in the 90s. They realized all their tax money was being used to fix highways when less than 10% of the people could afford a car. So they rechanneled their money to pay for things that would benefit the poor, like bike paths, a new bus system, public libraries, and fighting organized crime. They quickly transformed from a shit hole country to a damn nice country.

[@ragoff]

We'd be invaded in 10 min, ya'll don't realize how much US stabilizes the world because of our military. Alot of bad bad people out there.

[@dominicpersaud1155]

Are you dumb, America is the staple plus we are always in wars and even when the wars are over we get attacked, plus America also has somewhat of a responsibility to help protect smaller nations in the Caribbean etc, and also if we stopped spending America would get invaded and a lot of people would die

[@bigacellc8802]

AmeriKKKa's number one export is War. Sad but true.

Check the visa requirements before moving anywhere. Most countries want you to have a substantial income before issuing a visa and once you have the visa you have to renew it. Check other videos for the countries you want to live in. People have different views based on their experiences.

[@ms.d4049]

I grew up spending several years living in other countries because of my father's employment...I was born in USA though. I've known of so many people that love Mexico, the Caribbean and other countries to live as expats, and others that want to go. More military retirement checks go overseas than to the USA. That says a lot. When I visit other countries now, and redearch...I see why.

[@bedinabebe4521]

I would love to see you expand this great list to10 & do another video. In addition to Tanzania, Sierra Leone & possibly Senegal would make great additions.

[@anaturealu_]

A person should know the country they are moving too. I been trying to move to south Africa but had no luck on a job. Its so hard to relocate. However, in South Africa, they know english

[@nialcc]

I think the job situation is the most important for my family. I thought about the possibility of work for an emissary might work as a first job in a country.

[@briantlougan810]

A friend who visited Panama said the humidity is brutal. As is the poverty.

[@inthedms82]

Lol 😭😭

[@sitdowndogbreath]

It is what it is.

[@Brave-828]

😅

[@Sushi-Katana]

Sounds like Florida.

[@olliemck60]

The humidity is seasonal and location. I spend time in David and Boquete and it is comfortable year-round. As for poverty try visiting a few USA cities.
