Isn't that kind of expected? I mean, if you move to Shanghai I wouldn't expect you to live only speaking English. Or, if you apply to startup Chile, and decide to stay there, at some point I would expect you to learn Spanish. Learning any language takes time and effort and it's integral part of adapting to your host country culture and people. I would even say it's key for a successful relocation.

Indeed, but what I wanted to say this kind of article creates an impression Berlin is cool place with a startup scene where anyone can move and work there and a lot of people ignore their quality of life will decrease because they don't know the language.

I still don't get your point. I would expect someone moving to some other country to at least read about that place. If I was moving to China, because the startup scene was so good over there, I take for granted that at some point I will have to learn Chinese. It would be very, very naive to move to a country because you read somewhere that the startup scene is so cool somewhere and then realize they don't speak English at the grocery store where you get your croissants.
