i think if you move to somewhere which speaks a different language, you should be expected to learn their language to survive. Dont expect their whole country to change their language to speak to you.
Move there, enroll into their language class. Thats 1 activity to fill your time during retirement.
Unless you have tons of money. Money talks, anywhere.
Anyone who wants your money, will speak your language to get it from you.
