It’s the only thing making sense anyway.
If you plan to live somewhere, learn the language.
Not doing so stops you from integrating into society, having access to many services, and it’s really rude and entitled to move somewhere and expect everyone to speak your language.
I wouldn’t try moving to UK or US and expect everything to work with only knowing German/French/Kurdish or a different language, refusing to learn English etc.
It’s not just the *able* part, it’s also the *willing*, which will be lower to start with and then declining with time. In general, people in Germany are not used to daily multilingual social interactions.
Why is Austria so high up?
Do they do things differently in school or hoe comes they have such a high percentage?
UK 95%- 5% are drunk and unable to hold a conversation at all
Highest: UK. Surprise, surprise xD
UK only 95% is … interesting. Where can I find how many in Germany can hold a conversation in German?
The average in the country doesn’t represent the lived experience of people in places like Berlin or Munich though…
Why is yellow not used to signify the middle, just like in any other map? The usual way is: dark blue = the best, yellow = the middle, dark red = the worst.
Seems almost like someone wants to make a point here.
UK 95%???
The home of English? Wat?
[removed]
Germans are not willing to keep a conversation with you even in German, if you are not close to native level… I can understand it though, conversation is a pleasure and what is the pleasure to talk to person, who talks funny and with limited set of words?
So it is not enough to learn german, you must know it on very decent level.
There is no real source for the data of this map. Only a self posted post from a guy 8 years ago and now in anew designed map. Idk man.
There is also a distribution by state and towns that might be interesting. In Berlin and Munchen it is 65%, still less than you would expect. The East-West gap is not as big as I thought.
You don’t need to, lived here for 4 years now without learning any German.
Netherlands crushing it
I don’t give af if you talk to me in english, its fine. The englishphobia of germans is appaling.
Yeah sure.. Austria 73%..
They cannot even speak proper german because they try too much as 99% of viennese population.
Germans should learn English, says me a German
Also WTF BRITAIN THAT SHOULD BE 100%
So…. How did they get that Data? How do you determine that?
I live in Germany and im fairly certain that the % is Power that that.

This [source](https://www.thelocal.de/20191107/how-do-germans-compare-to-the-rest-of-europe-when-it-comes-to-speaking-english/) says 63.77%. What is the source of OP’s map ?
