http://wp.me/pNFhP-aIG First of all, what I'm going to say is let's take the names of the countries out of this. Let's just leave this space for you.... and what you want. We can wax the pros and cons the whole day, we could do it for a week, we could do it for a year... But basically these are all lukewarm ideas. They're practical, they're logical, but not necessarily are they things that you really, really, really, really want. This (lukewarm ideas) is not a place you'd necessarily want to start at. It's a place you want to end up in. Master a Language vs. Experience a Country First of all, I think you have to ask yourself this question ~ Is my goal to master a language or is it to have an experience? They're kind of two different questions. They do kinda merge, because you'd be learning a language in a different country. But in essence, they're two different questions and they can provide two different answers. If you're looking at mastering a language, try asking yourself~ what language do I feel jazzed about (what do I want to learn)? If you go with that feeling about a language, then it already tells you what country you want to be in. If your goal is to experience a country, then your goal for mastering a language is probably going to be secondary to you. Then it's about ~ What kind of experience do I want to feel, what kind of lifestyle do I want to live or be challenged with? What is your dreamiest country? So you want to go with something that just excites you. (With something) that makes you feel like ~ "Aww! I really want to do this! I"ll just die if I don't do it". It's like being in a room of hot guys and you have to make a choice about which one you want to go steady with. There are all these options... a rocker, jock, nerd... How do you choose? Basically, we choose what we vibe with! The Reality Check: Logistics, budget, comfort zone Pick two or three of those, because now comes your lukewarm ideas and your reality of~ "Is it possible... is it doable?" "Do you have the budget for it?" "Realistically, do you really want to live there or do you want to visit there?" Then start asking yourself the bigger questions... Do you want to date this country or marry it?
