It is not a bad idea to learn some at least of the language that you are going to be around for an extended period.I recall when I first got to Germany the band Ramstien was popular so guys would ride around playing the songs but not knowing what the song was saying.

One of my buddies started talking to these Germans about music adn they said something about Ramstien and my pal sings the Buck Dich song and all the Germans where laughing their asses off I was damn drunk myself and did not know much German at the time but I knew that there must have been some reason why this performance was so entertaining to them.I asked my German friend Joey(he is older not his kind of music) to translate the song for us and at first he refused and just said "This is very bad" then we convinced him to needless to say my singing pal was a bit embarrassed well at least the Germans he sang for where not willing to oblige. Or maybe they found him on another night and slipped him some Rufies.
