This is very true, but imagine living 'in a pinch' for months/years before you get a grasp on the language.
They say that immersion is one of the best ways to pick up a new language.
If it was everywhere all of the time, and you took advantage of things like community language learning events and language learning apps, you could become fluent in a matter of months.
After all, most people only need like a thousand to two thousand words to get by, So yeah, well, you may not be languidly discussing Proust during a bachanal with your neighbors by the end of the season, you should be able to identify stores and food items and discuss the weather and minor events.
