I, too, agree with this. I do not think it is arrogant in the least. I think it is common sense.
If I were moving to France or Germany or Mexico, I would most certainly learn the language! I would probably never be perfectly fluent, but I would do the best I possibly could to learn the language.
I would not for one minute expect the government of another country to make concessions for me and duplicate signs, instructions, etc. in English. I think THAT is extremely arrogant!

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
