It can be any number of factors. From a lack of money or time to pay for lessons or a lack of decent available lessons, right the way through to being lazy and never needing to because you can pay for others to do the translation stuff for you.

If people want to try and live in a foreign country without learning the language, then who really cares - that's their daft decision.
