Speaking English is a good language to know especially in America. If you don't know English and you are moving from a foreign country, I recommend you learn English. If you don't know English school and communication would be much harder for you. Its always good to learn the basics of English and then practicing some more.

Different languages and English are important languages to learn, so others can understand you better.
