People in the US: Can speak English, sometimes Spanish
People in Germany: Can speak German, had Spanish & French in school, can understand most of dutch natively and have learned some Turkish from their friends

Also learning swedish on duolingo for fun
You forgot that they have English in school, too, sometimes starting in first grade already.
Most of the German tourists I see either didn't or did their damnest to not learn :_)
I live 30km from the French border, had 10 years of French in school. I wouldn't be able order bread.
