[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the benefit of doing this? You aren't going to move to Europe.[/quote]

Why do you assume they wouldn’t?  My kids have German passports in addition to their US passports, which we got in significant part so they would have an option to live/work there as adults. My college student is seriously considering it for after graduation. [/quote]

Uh huh. And how much German have you taught your children? I’m fluent enough in German (lived and went to school there) but I would never want to work a white collar job there, because it’s just really hard to function in your second or third language. [/quote]

I'm the Italian PP who is pursuing a 1948 case there.  I have many family members who work in white collar jobs in Denmark, Belgium, Switzerland, and Sweden.  They all work for large corporations who have employees from all over the world and English is the langauge of business in those corporations.  I also have nephews/nieces who are going to grad school in Switzerland and Spain, where their courses are all in English.  Of course, if one lives in a country, they should learn the langauge.  But it is not necessary to work in certain industries.  Many of my cousins are engineers, and that is one field where English is commonly the language spoken in the workplace.
