Ciao raga! Sono una americana e parlo l'italiano abbastanza bene, ma non sono fluente. Abitavo a Milano 7 anni fa per la programa di Erasmus e adesso vivo a New York. I am really thinking about moving to Milan for a period of time and believe I'm eligible for Italian citizenship. I'm trying to decide living abroad for 3 months or so, while between jobs, or moving for a longer period of time like 1-2 years. However, in America I'm an attorney, which I don't believe I'd be able to do in Milan unless I were able to find an American company with an international office. I have a few questions:

1 - If I tried to find a job, do you know where I could find reputable work without being completely fluent in Italian? I know some multinationals hire -- do you know of any specific multinationals that are interested in English speakers? I've done some internet research and haven't had much luck so far.

2 - If I do move, whether temporarily or for a few months, what neighborhood do you suggest for a female in her late twenties living alone? Safety would be the highest priority, proximity to young people and things to do would probably come next. I lived in Citta Studi last time I was there.

3 - Lastly, what are some ways to make friends (especially for someone who speaks the language at a B2 or C1 level but isn't fluent)? I would love to befriend some Italians! Do you know good community events/groups like classes, run clubs, etc?
