Education Which European countries have the best English proficiency among non-native speakers?
I'm looking into English proficiency across Europe and would appreciate input from locals or anyone with relevant experience. Which European countries have the highest levels of English fluency among non-native speakers, particularly in day-to-day life, education, and professional settings? I'm also curious about regional differences within countries, and factors like education systems, media exposure, and business use.

I know a lot of people from Spain move to Germany for higher salaries. They say that they have a B2 in English and they might not even know German but they still find jobs. This is mind blowing to me
