No one chooses to exist, so you could argue we're captives regardless of where we are. Not guests.
But yeah, I'm not moving anywhere that speaks a different language anyway if I can avoid it. Sounds like too much of an impediment and risk, being unable to function in society that you don't speak the language in. You end up too vulnerable and dependent on strangers and I don't tend to trust people I don't know.
If you enjoy on an intrinsic level learning another language, fine. That certainly would explain why you "learn without putting in effort". Its not for me however. I have no desire. I'm far more interested in other things.
