I'm not sure how anyone can move to another country and fail to speak their language. When I toyed with the idea of moving to Germany before I found out I would need to revoke my US Citizenship to do so (which won't happen), I was already learning German for the sheer fact of communicating with the people there. Of course during the first few years of living there your linguistic skills won't be on part with the natives, but nonetheless eventually you'll be understood at the very least.

Why would you have to revoke your US citizen ship?
Interesting that now the Muslim population is a problem. Language wasn't a problem when they were recruiting people from predominantly Muslim nations for labor. And perhaps they should have thought about all of this before colonizing nations are predominantly or significantly Muslim.

Germany does not allow dual citizenship automatically. You have to ask for permission to retain your other citizenship if you apply for German citizenship. Germany has some of the most restrictive naturalization policies in the world, on par with Austria, Norway, Spain (except if you were born in Latin America), and Japan (unless you are ethnically Japanese).

I have been living working and paying taxes in Germany for almost 14 years and still have my US Citizenship.
If you have permission to work and stay there is no disadvantage and no need to change unless you want to vote. You cannot apply for citizenship untill you have lived here a few years anyways. The only reason I can see to change is perhaps to make moving and working in another EU land easier.
It took me about 1 year to become functional in German. If you choose to move to a new country, learning the language should be a priority.
