Perhaps I can respond this way then:

"I am think of move to america or japan. I speak a little english and want learn better, but where is the cheapest? I clean house and am very good scrubber."
Sometimes it is the kindest thing to be straight forward and blunt when someone expresses a "dream" that is not even remotely possible, given their presented situation.

If, by asking a few difficult questions, one can prevent them making a potentially disastrous move to a country that is foreign to them (in fact, the poster posited either Italy OR Cyprus) then a great service has been afforded to them.
