Default Re: Could you live in a country without speaking its language?
Personally, I try to learn the language. But, for example, when I was in Taiwan, I knew many foreigners who spoke no Chinese. It was surprising, actually, to meet people who had lived there for 3 years or more and didn't have even a basic vocabulary.
