Meh. We couldn't speak English either when we moved here. The difference? We didn't move to an ethnic enclave so learned the language out of necessity. Too many newcomers in too short a time span tend to congregate amongst their own, thereby removing that necessity. And that's the problem. Every big western city has a Chinatown or Little Italy where many folks don't speak the local language as they can work and live amongst other expats. And that's fucked.
