While it is a fair comment , just how realistic is it for a n 18 year old to drop their birth citizenship and pick the citizenship of another country?

  You don't need to drop your citizenship. The US has so so many international students and every college student in the US can point to one that they know. People in developing countries like Vietnam study German in high school so that they can study in a German university for extremely cheap. "Emigration for thee but not for me" Meanwhile the smart ones who got stuck with college loans and worthless degrees figured out it's better to teach English abroad for 6x a local's salary and substantially less hours.

    The only language (other than English) taught in my local school district is Spanish. How do you expect US students to learn a language to emigrate somewhere else?

      Online courses? You can find language learning correspondents too, like pen pals but with video chat. Plus most US universities have resources for students whose first language is not English, probably most countries have something similar. Picking it up by immersion is hard but it’s supposed to be the best way to learn

      How do you expect Vietnamese students to learn? They have a dramatically lower GDP and their focus is on English education (although it's not great). Textbooks and parents pressuring kids to focus on their education can do it. There's also a million free online resources for learning a language in English, not so many for people who speak a less infernationally-utilized language.
