I don't like this as a requirement. If you're going to live somewhere, learn the language. I'm in Tokyo and it drives me crazy that people don't even make some attempt at learning the language. You will have a much better, richer life and be less of a burden on others if you learn the language.
Hello,
I agree with you, completely. I live in Barcelona so I learn both Spanish and Catalan, and I feel the same for people who don't make an attempt at the language.
On the other hand, I can also understand that if someone only plans to stay for a few years, and the language is very hard to learn, they might want to decide to not learn it, or prefer a country like the Netherlands or the Nordics where most of the people speak English.
