That's why it's so confusing. When I was in Germany, I was 'encouraged' to try to speak a little German in deference to our hosts. In Korea, I was 'encouraged' to speak Korean, again, in deference to our hosts. If I was to actually move to Germany or Korea, I would have to learn the language as a prerequisite because all the traffic signs, TV shows, newspapers, etc are in that language. If I wanted something printed in English, I'd have to pay extra, or translate it myself. I am of the mind-set of "You move there, you learn how they are, and do the same." After all...it's the right thing to do.
