I remember coming here and taking part in a heated discussion about how bad is
command of English in Poland.
Yesterday I read in Rzeczpospolita that Poland with 29% English speaking
population (conversation level) is among the EU countries with lowest such
rate. Worse are Spain (27), Czech (24, rather surprising for me) and Hungary (23).
But from Good Old EU Italy scores equally with Poland and France is not much
better with 36%.
Sweden and Denmark top the rank with 89 and 86 percent respectively, and
Slovenia (57) is better than Germany (56).
Well, this is all flawed. There are no data for UK (don't laugh - I am sure it
will not get 100%) or Ireland (say, in Aran Islands you simply can't
communicate in English) but first of all, no info about Netherlands! And here
I am sure this will be in top 3.
So, can our PM say more then yes, yes, yes?
