Had your hubby’s job been in a remote gas drilling company off the Russian coast or somewhere in farthest southern tip of South America where no one spoke a word of English, It would be mandatory for him to speak the language of the natives .And I have seen documentaries on Geology experts from England who had to spend 2 yrs in a town in Chilly where people communicated in Latin among other local tongues.
