5 правил успешной иммиграции из России. Советы серийного эмигранта: банки, языки и адаптация

Spain, Austria, Switzerland, Lithuania, the USA, Paraguay—and each country has the same adaptation story. After moving six times, I've come up with five rules that work no matter where you're moving. In this video: — Why you should open bank accounts and cards on the very first day, and how banks actually decide which foreigners should close their accounts — The hidden trap of linking a bank account to a mobile phone number, and a Google Voice life hack that's been saving you for years — The "300 Words" method for learning a language in two weeks—and why you don't need Shakespeare-level Spanish — Why it's impossible to find friends as an expat, and what to look for instead — How to selectively take only what suits you from a foreign culture, without trying to fit in at any cost If you're preparing to move, already living abroad, or just thinking about emigrating, this video will save you years of trial and error. 00:00 — Introduction: A serial immigrant on the five rules of adaptation 00:50 — Rule 1.
