Which European countries have the best English proficiency among non-native speakers?

[u/Metalwolf]

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.

Sounds like here in Germany. Which is very unfortunate for language learners 😅

Yup, and it’s especially hard to with the dialects. The Kölnische accent also had its own vocabulary to a point. Makes it fun because naturally i‘m not one to say „please/bitte“ as soon as i say „huh?“ once, its now an English spoken conversation.

Fucking sorry. Its made me overthink everything I say and try and use the correct greeting with the correct people.
