I think acceptable is perhaps the wrong word/question. Of course you can be in any country you don't speak the language of but if you are planning to emigrate/live in a country with a different language then you ought to learn the language so you can communicate. In fact it's rather stupid and insular not to. There are many practical reasons you would need to speak the language like speaking with teachers of your children, banking etc etc. A bank won't speak to someone who isn't you to deal with your account.
