Every german I have ever talked to in english barely knew how to put one single phrase together correctly. This is so ass lmao. As far for Albanians, we literally get praised for how good we speak english and how literally everyone except for the old generation speaks it.

I don’t know why Germany always scores so highly in English proficiency. It just isn’t true lol, even amongst the younger generation

I had to speak Serbian in Sofia and Bratislava in order to be understood as people couldn't understand when I spoke English. In Romania, since it ain't Slavic, i had to use hands only.
I doubt this map is true.

No way this map is true. Most Serbs speak English to some degree, and Hungarians even in Budapest can't speak English for shit.

I spoke only english in Bratislava and most of the people can understand me, but in Budapest i had to use hands because nobody can speak english there, and both Slovakia and Hungary have similar scores.

well i mean Budapest is well know to uhh shoot hand jobs as part of the industry

The statistics are dogshite. Try speaking English in the south of Belgium, that’s going to be a great adventure.

What the fuck is this scale? 453-648?
svxae@reddit

SonrieAlaVida@reddit
5/7 type of scale
Goodcopbadcop33@reddit
Yeah… No. Greece should be waaaay lower.

English is pretty widely spoken in Albania. Ask the expat community if you don't believe me
beggs23k@reddit
This will change very soon, in 20 years everyone will speak base English. The young generation is pretty good in English from what Ive seen.
Travelmusicman35@reddit
Serbia only moderate and lower than Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary and Portugal? Nonsense.

Dang, it's so bad in the UK and Ireland they don't even get a score.
Marianmisa@reddit
The UK is illustrated gray. But there is not gray on the chart which means brits cant speak any English

Ex-soviet çöplerinin çoğunluğu böyle eziklik kompleksi olsa gerek. Yunanlarda böyle bir haterlık yok mesela, iron curtain garbagelar başka oluyor

This explains why the Dutch woman I asked for directions acted offended when I asked if she spoke English but still couldn't read a map of her own city.
