Isnt it conceited for English speaking people in the US to not learn other languages?

Seems like many people in the US get mad if someone doesn't speak English. They be thinking if someone comes to the US they better know English or they don't deserve to be here. So how come when they go to some other country for like vacation they still expect everyone to know English.

I think if someone is moving here from another country they should make an effort to learn the language. Not saying they need to speak perfect English but be able to communicate and understand. Especially if they’re bringing children with them. If just visiting learn some basics they can communicate with. I travel to Mexico and the Dominican and have learned enough Spanish where I can get by. If I were to move there I’d learn the language. Not perfect Spanish but enough to where people would understand me.
