My brother moved to Denmark, he's now fluent in Danish. My cousin went to Cyprus, speaks Greek, a mate of mine went to Greece just for work for a few years, learned Greek. Cousin in law's moved to France, now speak French.
People learn to get on and succeed. If you import whole communities, put them together , and give them benefits and language support, they don't need to learn in order to live, so they don't learn.
These language and culture barriers are not a strength.
My dad is retiring to Spain in 3 years and he has started Spanish lessons.
