would likely say that im surprised that austria is not on the list, but yeah... our education system sucks

looking at the numbers next to each country, it appears that this isn't the whole ranking but just selected countries. i sure hope we appear at least *somewhere* in the top 54

You're not even top 54 in the German proficiency index, bwahaha.


Well german is a pretty bad language so whatevz.

+ Show Spoiler +
No i'm not saying this because i'm bad at it ._.

My language is totally better than your language!


Echt nie :<

Seriously though, german is too harsh sounding for my liking.

I can understand what you mean but I'm surprised it's comming from a Dutch. Dude, your G-sounds give me throat cancer

and this is why Austria is awesome. we speak German, but it's much softer and smoother than the German of Germans

So what is the German of Germans anyway. I'm from northern Germany and live in Baden and the dialect is completely different.

The US didn't even make the list, their proficiency in English wasn't good enough I guess.. :D

English isn't the official language (at federal level) of the US.

Neither did Britain or Canada or a number of other countries who you'd expect to top the list... Some part of me thinks they weren't included on purpose...

Don't be so quick to country bash, you might look like a fool.


And some countries lack a sense of Humor.... Don't get your panties in a bunch. It's a silly. fun fact about the US and applicable to this situation. :p
Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not. 파이팅! ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ"

Cool stuff! Judging from the Dutch guys I've met I would've guessed that you guys were number one =)


Dunno why Sweden is number one... Had a Swedish girlfriend and was not impressed =p most of them had a pretty heavy Swedish - English accent :p

Though I guess the same goes for most Danes I guess =)

accent doesn't really have anything to do with proficiency though


Yeah yeah, that's very true but it does go hand in hand quite often I feel

Depends, I think I'm somewhat okay at English nowadays but my spoken English is still terrible because I almost never get to practice.

same here

I had to give directions to an Italian couple at the station this week and I felt retarded because my speech sounded choppy like a five year old kid.

That list with english proficiency is probably only theoretical knowledge of the language, which is why japan and south korea can even be on that list. They all learn english for many years in school but most of them arent comfortable speaking english at all.

Also most swedish people can speak english but they have a very distinct accent while I find norwegians and people from the netherlands usually don't have any (except for rotti ).
