Don't you at least learn some of the others to a passable extent? (I had a roommate who was from a French speaking part of Switzerland and he was able to speak at least passable German with my German friends, so I just assumed this was common in Switzerland... but maybe he was just an exception?).

We should. But at least the german speaking part mostly doesn't. At least in my personal experience. Of course some people do... But every single meeting I had in the french part was done in english because my french is non-existant and so was their german.
