Not quite the same as going to live in a different country, and I doubt anyone who doesn't speak the language in another country would even be able to apply for a job or somewhere to live. Unlike us most countries do not waste taxpayers money having multi-lingual forms, they tend to stick to the official language of the country concerned. For a few years at least English will still be our official language and should be the only language used for official documents. I would say the same to any English person moving abroad as I would to those who come here. If you want to live in a foreign country you should be able to speak the language.
