<p>I think it's important. You can't integrate into society without speaking the language of society. </p>
<p>In Germany there's a new law, not sure when it's coming out, that will require applicants for citizenship and I think permanent residency pass a German language test. There's a huge problem of Turkish families coming over and then never learning German and just living in their isolated neighborhoods. I think it's a good idea. You should at least be able to speak the language of where you live.</p>
