    They are required to know some in order to deal with ATC. AFAIK ATC is conducted in English, globally.

    Anyway, I think it's important that people learn the language of the country they are choosing to reside in. In my experience, some people really get into it and some people don't. I guess if they want a job at the end of their what ever it is, they'll need to learn some english in order to get one.
