Hmm. I'm gonna disagree here and say that the majority of Germans I've met speak great English. I however will caveat this with the fact that I'm 22 and it may be a generational thing. I am aware that if I go out into the sticks in Germany, I will be 100% speaking German since it seems to me the more rural I go the less English is spoken.
- klingonopera 7y agoPeople in rural areas, no matter which country, will almost always be worse off in speaking a foreign language than their urban counterparts. I agree it is a generational thing, and I believe this does have a lot to do with the Internet and the "international culture" it promotes. Have you compared some European countries in your age category? It's true that 22-year-old Germans speak English well, but a similarly aged person from Romania, Poland, Denmark or Albania will almost certainly still be better at English than the German.
