Austria is that high? I guess maybe being a small country, the visitor density is pretty high?
Surprised to see Portugal at 27% vs 22% for Spain. Not what I expected at all.
> Ireland 94%
Oof. I didn’t know there were any monolingual Irish speakers left, much less 6% of the population.
Does jakubmarian provide a source? I can see 50-60% for Greece and Germany, and 30-40% for France, and >70% for Netherlands and the Nordics. But I thought Portugal was supposed to be high too.
wow, Greece
Canadian here. I have an easier time having conversations with Scandinavians than I do Scottish people…
Subtitles versus dubbing.
The source for this data seems off. Portugal lower than France and Italy? All data known says the opposite. We do not dub any movies or series, any average portuguese listens to English every day.
Plus, from my own personal experience, Portuguese usually are the most fluent in English amongst Latin speaking countries.
Well those german numbers are unrealistically high
A lot lower than I expected
Crazy how Slovakia, Czechia and Hungary are so low. I see them all as kind of developed, but nobody speaks their language outside of their borders (except Hungarian minorities in Romania and Slovakia)
How did they do these statistics?
Are only 39% of the French *able* to? Or are only 39% of the French *willing* to?
Wow England speaks the best English in Europe who would’ve thought 🧐
Well for Belgium it would be interesting to see the percentages for Flemish and walloon side. Flemish habe definitely auch higher rate. I think walloon would be on par with France
Must be based on rather old data as Croatia isn’t in the EU yet… surely today the figures would look different already
France is 39%? Seems a little high
– At last the day’s came!
– Frau Leuchtag and I are speaking nothing but English now.
– So we should feel at home when we get to America.
– A very nice idea.
– To America.
– To America.
– To America.
– What watch?
– Ten watch.
– Such much?
– You will get along beautifully in America.

Anglois caca !
That seems waaaay too low for Hungary. As in, a foreign language is mandatory from like 3rd grade, and most will choose english. Hell, it is a mandatory test to pass secondary education, which almost everyone will do since you dont tend to finish primary over the age where you can stop going to chool. You cant even get a degree without being able to hold a conversation in at least one foreign language.
As a Dane this sub has made me slowly realise that The Netherlands do everything just slightly better than us:(
Netherlands up there with all English speaking nations lol. All the Dutchmen are on Reddit probably.
I am Austrian and 73% is definitely too high, especially the fact that we are supposed to speak better English than Finland?
This map is 12 years old. Why do you keep reposting it?
HOw does England have only 95 %
I feel like that’s old, no way it’s only 56% for Germany anymore

It’s massively outdated.
