  Generally most people over ~35-40yo won't speak English as it wasn't added to school curriculum until after the fall of the Soviet block.

    People over ~50-60yo maybe. 35-40 yo, spent not more than 10 years under Soviet control. Add to that, that Poles live quite often abroad and a lot of them spent years in Ireland/UK. We have even numbers to support that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_English-speaking_population https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_English-s... ... Poland in the top 20.

      There's ability to speak English, and willingness to speak English in a professional setting - a doctor with no professional training might refuse to use English just in case they misunderstand something. Same with officials (who if they knew English well in the first place, would work in a corporation of some sort).
