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 :)

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

I see you around here a lot. I feel a great draw to try to soothe your torment but I never know how. I always wish the best for you

I’ve known a few people who lost their battle, and their families are never the same. It stays with you. On holidays, birthdays, life events. It’s been over ten years for me and it’s still there nearly every day. I know they have thoughts like

• “I wish you were here Travis, you would have been my best man”
• “I wish you could see the view on this hike, Katie. Happy birthday”
• “I wish you could see me graduate, dad. I hope you’d be proud of me”

One of these people inspired her mother to her own thankfully unsuccessful attempt. It ripples out in ways these people didn’t consider

BUT I also have friends, one very close, who survived their attempts, and are grateful they did. Two of them just got married to incredible people. It’s still there for them, but it’s gotten much smaller, and they’re living legitimately very happy lives. They went back to school, graduated, married, and have plans to travel the world

Each of them who lived got help. Big people in coats put them in a place and gave them magic socks. You say it makes it harder to emigrate, but to not mince words, so does being dead. I’m guilty of the same thing - letting a big consequence prevent me from acting on an even bigger consequence. But every day I’m sad about the people who died, I’m so incredibly grateful to the people who asked for help. I would be lost without the one, especially

I wish the best for you on your journey, and I hope to continue seeing you around here

Thanks for taking the time to reply! :)

For a clueless person like myself, do you have any advice on how to make that happen? I see @SreudianFlip@sh.itjust.works say dumpster dive, but how would you know which places to patrol, and when?

(Btw Sreudian, if you see this and you’re ok with dropping the local requirement, I’d love to pay for shipping for one of those macs)

I’m really sorry, OP. I have no words of wisdom. I just know it hurts, and I’m sorry

Gotcha, no problem, just a miscommunication :) Yes, DL 36/2025 is all about citizenship by descent, jure sanguinis. That’s the new decree that has changed things recently, preventing many people from claiming citizenship. It’s still possible that residency could be added as a requirement on top of parental ties, and in fact it has been for minor children beyond grandchildren.

I’ll be watching how it all plays out along with you. Good luck on your journey!

Varyk is correct, the cnn article has errors. Currently there is no language requirement in DL 36/2025, and the only residency requirement is to live there for 2 years before the birth or adoption of a child to pass citizenship on, if your parents weren’t born there. DDL 1450 is a proposed amendment that, in part, would allow minor children to fulfill the 2 year residency themselves, and (I believe) if they are no longer a minor, 3 years

Here is an english translation of DL 36/2025. The actual text of the decree is near the bottom

Cool track! Thanks for showing it! I wish I had a better answer with a clear hybrid like yours rather than a change of style, but check these out: Malenia, Blade of Miquella, from the game Elden Ring, and then a synthwave arrangement of it

Can we pour one out for Techtonica real quick? RIP, I’ll miss you bud

I always see you around being a good steward of this place, especially when welcoming new folks. Thank you for doing that
