How do I get my kids to like Japan?

Throwaway account because my husband follows me on Reddit. My dad recently passed away, he was a lawyer, so we inherited a wealthy sum of money. Living in Japan was always a big dream for me, ever since I was a child, so I decided to move with my two kids (14 Male, and 16 Female) and my husband. Everything was going great, except from my son and my daughter. Both my son and daughter complained about school, because it’s hard for them to understand Japanese. For context, I took a Japanese class in college, so I can speak Japanese, I didn’t want to pay for a Japanese Class for my kids so I told them to try using Duolingo because I heard a lot about it, but I guess it wasn’t enough, because they still struggle with Japanese. They also told me that the move was stressful, that they feel lonely because they haven’t made any new friends, and that the social norms are too difficult to follow. I don’t know what to do, because living in Japan is my dream, and I told myself I’d do anything to make it happen. I’m thinking about sending them back to our home country to live with their grandma. There is one problem though, my husband wants to stay with the kids, but doesn’t want to leave Japan because he has a good job here. What should I do?
