I am a tradesman with a lot of technical skills with some specialized skills in short supply (at least in the US) with a little less than a decade of experience. My partner is a skilled social worker with more than a decade of experience.

We cannot afford a golden visa in any country.

We are at least 3rd generation Americans, and do not have the right to claim citizenship in any other country without going through the immigration and naturalization process there.

Neither of us is very good at picking up a new language (lord how I’ve tried)

Where could we realistically look to go?

      Children’s television programming geared towards young children (e.g., Bluey, Peppa Pig, etc.) can fill this gap, and are widely used as comprehensible input content by adult language learners.

        Not sure I agree. I think it’s likely too much for an adult as a sole source even if it’s good for children since they get so much more input. I’ve tried and I needed a lot lot lot less and slower input. Sometimes 20-30% speed. Don’t get me wrong, I love the concept and I wish there were more high quality resources for this. But I think most adults need to start more basic than basic TV.
