Let me know how you do with all this as I have the intention of trading in my American drivers license for a Polish one as I live in the EU now.

If you have a Polish visa, in Poland you can give up your American drivers license and take written test in English. Or you can go to Lviv Ukraine pay for a course and you will pass it and get a Ukrainian drivers license and then trade it in for a Polish one.
My brother and his family all passed the UK drivers test and it was very hard so I know where you are coming from. See if you can trade in your American license in the UK like you can in Poland. If you can do that, an if you go back to the USA it is very easy to get a US drivers license as you and I both know.

I’m an American that has been living in the UK for 4 years. I drove for the 1st year that I was here on my American license and then stopped cause the law is that you have to get a UK license and that means taking written and practical tests and learning the maneuvers and doing exactly what they want would be hard and expensive. I am now married to a Polish guy and have permanent residence here in the UK. Is it possible for me to get a Polish one? Or one from any country? I do not want to have to go through the process of lessons and tests.

This is very complex, when it comes to stateless persons. However, I think the answer is yes, but I do not know for sure. The main thing is you have permission or work and live in the USA. I think this will let you travel on a US travel document of some sort.

Comment on The hardest language to learn by KV

Silly list.

Also, the descriptions of Chinese and Japanese on this page are mixed together for no reason.

No cases: no, but both have noun classifiers
no genders: true
no tenses: Japanese has tenses and Chinese has verb aspect.
no verb changes: Japanese does.
short words: only Chinese. Japanese can be long.
very easy grammar: Japanese word order is almost backwards from English
however, writing is hard: yes, both
But to speak it is very easy: Japanese is easy to pronounce but Chinese isn’t particularly easy

Comment on Buy an EU citizenship by Mikhail

I am having a difficult problem. I came to the United States in 1995 as citizen of USSR but passport was issued in Turkmenistan (ex former Soviet Republic). My passport was expired in 1999 and got lost the same year. I am stateless right now and only have a working permit to live and work in USA. My parents are Russian citizens now and live in Russia. I am trying to obtain Russian citizenship based on parents since they have this law but Russian Consulate require to provide document stating that I am stateless or my passport which I do not have. Embassy of Turkmenistan refused in my citizenship, so the Embassy of Azerbaijan since I was born there. Russian Consulate asking for US Travel Document which I can not obtain as I am in removal procedure from US. So, what document and where should I take stating that I am stateless?

Can I apply for US Travel Document stating that I am stateless and want to travel to Virgin Island? Will they issue my travel document based on this circumstances?

Thanks

Comment on The peculiar language of the Amish by Marcel

To mention Afrikaans in relation to Amish:

Afrikaans is from origine a language from the Dutch (from The Netherlands) and not from the Germans (Deutsch) so it has some similar or almost similar words but is different again just as the language in the Netherlands is different from the language in Germany.

Please don’t make the mistake to call the language “Dutch” as it is not: Dutch means: from the Netherlands or the language, spoken in the Netherlands.
It is “Deutsch” which mean: from Deutschland (or Germany) or the language, spoken in Germany.

I think that is about that it cost to get a drivers license as the course are not free. Do you want to work for free? However, the good news is I think you can trade you US drivers license in for a Dutch one and just take the written test. It should not be that expensive.
