In my opinion a remarkably large number of Germans speak remarkably good English. They have neighbors that are better but if the general level of English in Germany wasn't enough for you you basically should never travel outside of US/Cananda/UK/Oz.

As someone from a second world shithole country that barely speaks any English at all and lived for a year in a country that does speak English very well (Sweden) I can attest that Germany does, in fact, speak English quite well.

I live in a touristy area of a big city (not Paris/NYC big, but big), and when people ask me where a certain thing is, I don't always have an answer :v:

Agreed. If your language has less than 50 million speakers i'm not learning a single word of it.

My language has 260 million speakers, but the word for hello has a three letter consonant cluster followed by a four letter consonant cluster, so gently caress if I expect anyone to learn any basic words. Those who try can't pronounce it anyway, 10 times out of 10 I can't recognize the words.
