[There’s a Simpson Episode about this](https://youtu.be/CfsAH9HmQSA?si=-I7NTWrfbAIySCCZ). Bart goes to France and hears nothing but french for 2 months.

If you’d be thrown into foreign country and nobody spoke your language, I’d assume you pick the basics up really quick.

With success of the internet comes media in all languages, translators, etc. pretty much eliminating your desperate need to speak the language.
