x00z@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoI think the Netherlands has the highest amount of L2 English speakers.
In the Netherlands, the English language can be spoken by the vast majority of the population, with estimates of English proficiency reaching 90%[1] to 97%[2] of the Dutch population.
It’s not the official language though so all documents and legal stuff would be in Dutch. Well, sorta.
If you’re an immigrant there, the Vreemdelingen Politie and other authorities specifically dealing with immigrants will send you the documention in English if you prefer.
Also banks will communicate with you in English if you want.
However, you can forget all about getting anything in English from, for example, the local authorities.
Mind you, it’s actually fun to learn Dutch IMHO.
Europeans from which country get upset when they hear their fellow countrypeople speak English poorly?
Was it Germans, because there’s compulsory English education in schools?
Ime, Germans love shitting on other Germans’ English skills. I’m an English (and German) speaking immigrant in Germany, and I honestly think most people do pretty well, but nobody here finds it as impressive as I do.

100% of Irish people can speak English and do so without sounding as ridiculous as the Dutch do.
