When my wife and I travel to a foreign country, we at least TRY to learn some of the phrases to help us get by. What gets me is all the people that come her and think we have to change to accommodate them. If they don't like it here the way we've been for centuries, then they can go back to where things are as they like them. This includes learning English. If I moved to another country, I would not expect everyone to change to English just to suit me, but I would learn the language. It would be rough, but that's just me.
