I don’t expect people even in border villages of Czechia, Slovakia or Hungary to speak German

German is actually a fairly popular foreign language in countries east of Germany: ec.europa.eu/eurostat/…/index.php?title=Foreign_l…

Though learning a second or third language in school is probably not quite what OP envisions here, and there’s a big difference between getting language lessons in school and actually being able to speak that language (shoutout to my Spanish lessons in school, you were pretty useless).
