Finally, a statistic where hungary isnt absolute shit
Hungary at place 17 is wild. Those who took this test are probably from university…
> test takers were self selected
This garbage isn’t worth the electrons used to transmit it.
Aïe ame vieri siourpiz tou si us zo phare down 😋 Aie ame convinced zak my Anglich iz pafaict.
Quite suprised that nordic countries are lower than NL But not suprised NL is top. When i was working there for holiday even little kids could hold conversation with me to buy ice cream on the beach i felt there like i could talk with 99% of ppl in English
Should have given the test to some British people as well, to give some baseline. Or did they really not even place?

Sigh.
Why would they put South Africa on this list? It is a English speaking country and it is one of its official languages so of course English is widely spoken.
Wow, Netherlands beats UK at their own language 😅😅😅👍
Take that Finland!
I find this surprising, I’ve been to Romania before and the level of English there is terrible IMO.
No way denmark and norway is above sweden. They both have a super heavy accent and you can barely understand them.
To all Austrians:

The Netherlands 1st? Have you ever heard a dutch person speak english? You really dont want to hear that
Why the fuck is Singapore here?
Hilarious to see South Africa on 9 😂😂
Surprised Belgium is there, with the lazy walloons not wanting to learn new languages and the Flemish being Protective of the Dutch
Now show me similar lists where we can see how good are Americans and Brits with languages other than english.
Lithuania above Estonia?! (As a Lithuanian, i’m surprised)
I can’t wait for this to turn up in the Baltic states subreddit.
So tired of winning against ze Germans all the time…our English is just beautiful [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FY3tyt7Ibwk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FY3tyt7Ibwk)
Portugal is on the top 10 merely because of the British expats permanently living there.
Neither the UK nor the US made the list?
I bet my left nut that Cyprus is in the top 15 but its not even on the list
Every dutchman I’ve met spoke perfect english but with that pleasant Dutch accent, extremely professional people!
What I wonder is weather or not this is reason enough for the U.K. or U.S. to claim all those countries as their own much like ruzzia is doing all around its borders…?
Nothing shocking in this statement. English must be waaay more easier to learn for Indoeuropean speakers, especially other Germanic language speakers.
So kudos to Singapore (!), then to Portugal (first Romance country), and Croatia (first Slavic country).
English speaking tourist : “French people are so rude, when I arrived there they all refused to answer me when I spoke english !”
*gesture broadly to the english proficiency index*
Dang Walloons pulling down our score!
I’m Spanish but I think Spain should be last on the list.. 🫣
Surprised me to see Nigeria so low, considering English is their official language.
The States are not even in the top 50. Damn you Mew Orleans!!
Quick question. Aren’t Singapore, South Africa, and Kenya English speaking countries? I know that there are other languages in those countries (Chinese, Swazi, Swahili). But English is so prevalent that they are considered native speakers, no?
Germany in top 10 are u kidding me? 🤣
In not sure if South Africa should be counted here. It’s not entirely fair towards other countries in the ranking.
As a Slovenian, I am offended. And so are all the other 5 people living there…
Portugal that far up is BS.
It doesn’t matter if you’re not first as long as you’re above France
wait are you saying europeans are best at learning indo-european languages? crazy stuff
The Dutch have somewhat decent grammar, but their accent….

Sadly the UK didn’t make the top 48.
