How to deal with classes at school where the majority of students are non native speakers. The Swiss just speak French/German at those small kids until they get it. Really.
I also agree no one should throw stones at the Americans. They just have different issues which we do not always get. I've just moved to US from Switzerland, I'm trying to navigate the local waters, and they are murky sometimes, without a flashlight.
I know Switzerland has relaxed our immigration laws but only for the EU citizens, not even for the Americans or the Aussies. Those arrangements are usually mutual, maybe Austria has a similar thing in place and the Australians just respond in kind. I got my US green card easily enough only because my husband is American. I know it sounds pragmatical and not romantic, but if your friend and her bf are serious about each other, they might as well get married to help things along. Really, fingers crossed for her :)!
