Hi, so I have some choices:

I can either go to somewhere in Sicily, maybe Trapani, and learn Italian

I can go to somewhere in Poland, maybe Zakopane with the mountains, and learn Polish despite it being a hard language. The course is shorter on Busuu.

Or I could learn both German and Poland and live somewhere in Poland by the German border. Or I could live in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Luxembourg, or Liechtenstein.

(I’m trying for Austria)

I have a lot of choices.

    Preface: I noticed your pronouns and incorporated them in my answer. Sorry if that’s not what you wanted.

    The eastern part of Germany is more inexpensive than the west, but I would not recommend it outside of the cities of Berlin, Dresden and Leipzig - people are very far right and …phobic. Against everything not cis-white. Or Jewish. Or… anything non-conforming.

    Sadly, Berlin, Leipzig and Dresden are also the most expensive parts of east Germany to live in.

    Berlin is a great melting pot, cost of living is also high, but maybe lower than, say, Hamburg or Cologne (or Munich…). But if you want to be yourself, might be an option.

    Personally, I would pass on Austria. Rather go to Prague - although they have an even more difficult language.

    Not very helpful, sorry.

    I could see the appeal of living in Italy. Warm (hot, even) and I love the Italian language.

    Sicily is rather poor, I think. Not too much to do there. Beautiful, though.

    What’s your plan? Study, work, see the world?
