Moving somewhere and not knowing the language is extremely common. My mother has been in the USA for 40 years and speaks very little English. She focuses on Spanish speaking neighborhoods and businesses.
Many of her friends have also been here decades and speak zero English too.
I absolutely agree. I didn’t make my point of learning the native language. I’m annoyed by native Spanish speaking immigrants purposefully not learning English while living in the USA for decades.
It seems it also happens with Americans that migrate to other countries.

It’s inconsiderate at best to expect people to speak your foreign language and get angry that people don’t speak it. That’s more of my point.
And even that, after gentrifying an area no longer welcoming non-english speaking people or treating them as second class is worse
