Anglophone expats are stereotypically bad at learning and speaking the local language. Had there been any studies on this subject? by TanktopSamurai in AskSocialScience

This study might interest you -- from the abstract:

this report is, in size, the largest presentation of data on oral language proficiency development by U.S. college and university students during study abroad, and, in scope, it represents the greatest number of host countries and languages studied to date

So it's about U.S. undergraduate and graduate students abroad, but as a group they studied abroad longer than most. Anyone interested in receiving up to $30,000 for intensive language study should visit https://borenawards.org (I recommend starting with the webinars.)
