| 42. And how do you know they are refusing to learn? |

Just because they don't speak it right now?
Learning a foreign language is difficult even with formal lessons - if you're working full time and supporting a family you don't have time or opportunity or maybe even the income to take classes, and have to learn as you go.
My own grandmother and her sister spoke german around the house after they'd been in this country for 50 years. They did eventurally learn english, but it it took a while. It can take years, literally, to become comfortable speaking it. Are they supposed to never leave the house until they are fluent?
