I will keep trying. This stupid move has been difficult for the entire family. He has said that everyone at works speaks the other language when they're just chatting (vs English when they're working) and I don't think he feels that he fits in. I don't either though. I can't even get help to make a cake from the ladies in the grocery stores.

We're going on 3 weeks of him on the couch though which is why I think things are getting worse. In the past, before moving here, he might've rarely done that for one evening just for a few hours and even then it was usually because he was watching TV and just fell asleep. These last 3 weeks have been different. I'll take your advice though and try that approach. It can't hurt.
