Hey dude, your English seems OK to me.

There was this other thread a few months ago, about a carpenter looking for a place in South Fllorida -

There are a ton of construction jobs in Miami... but I doubt they pay that well. Skill trades may fare a little better than unskilled, and definitely working on the big projects will help.

However, the cost of living here is HIGH. Like NY or SF high. In order to live cheaply, you'll need to live pretty far from where the best jobs would be (Brickell).

English is pretty optional here, but being fluent in Spanish makes life a lot easier. (Y si, puedo hablar en Espanol, aunque no escribo bien).

The highest point in MiamiDade is around 40 feet though most of the county is closer to 6 feet above sea level.
The highest point in Broward is only 29 feet and most of the area is between 2-6 feet above sea level.
Palm Beach County has the highest elevation in South Florida around 50' and with an average height of 15 feet: keeping most of the county safer from acute and long term flooding.
