> in Iceland and was astonished that everyone there spoke pretty much perfect English On my visit there seemed to be a pretty sharp division based on age where people over 60ish have a good chance of not speaking English. Maybe lower as you move away from Reykjavik. Virtually everyone under 40 speaking English, across the island. Oddly, while I've always considered my brother and I to look a lot alike, everyone would speak English to him and then immediately switch to Icelandic for me (which I don't speak).
