Why won't some learn English if living in America?

This doesn’t just go towards USA but other countries. Why the heck wouldn’t you try to learn the language of the country you’re living in? It’s such a big hassle of you don’t!

A lot of Asians I know don’t really speak any English. Neither does my grandma, a couple of my aunts, my boyfriend’s grandma or grandpa, and a lot of my friend’s parents.

I don’t understand how you can let that happen. I would feel trapped always needing an interpreter. My mom learned English here just by interacting and working with people, my sister learned another language by watching a lot of movies and asking my dad questions, there are affordable classes.

I don’t get it.
