        He has a point. I wouldn't exactly move to France without learning French, or Italy without learning Italian.

        I'd hate to try and navigate (or survive!) in a foreign country long term without trying to understand the language.

        The hypocracy is that we expect foreigners who come to speak English,and when we go abroad we still expect them to speak English!
