LOL..the dutch, swiss and swedish can speak english better than many americans!
most french speak english but not as well and most younger germans speak at least some english.

Yeah Canadians eh...hehe

I'm not a lumberjack, or a fur trader...and I don't live in an igloo or eat blubber, or own a dogsled. And I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada, although I'm certain they're really, really nice. I have a Prime Minister, not a President. I speak English and French, NOT American, and I pronounce it 'ABOUT', NOT 'ABOOT'. I can proudly sew my ountry's flag on my backpack. I believe in peace keeping, NOT policing. DIVERSITY, NOT assimilation, AND THAT THE BEAVER IS A TRULY PROUD AND NOBLE ANIMAL. A TOQUE IS A HAT, A CHESTERFIELD IS A COUCH, AND IT IS PRONOUCED 'ZED' NOT 'ZEE', 'ZED'!!! CANADA IS THE SECOND LARGEST LAND MASS, THE FIRST NATION OF HOCKEY, AND THE BEST PART OF NORTH AMERICA! MY NAME IS FUCKIN TRANCERAVER31. I LIVE AND I DIE FOR TRANCE!! AND I AM CANADIAN!!!!!!!!

English is the universal language of the 21st century. It's taught in school as a second language in most non-english industrialized countries.

Also, by studying linguistic origins, we see that English, German, Swedish, Finnish, Icelandic and Dutch are all Germanic languages. Having thus been derived, these languages will resemble each other somewhat in grammar, vocabulary, etc. thereby facilitating the apprenticeship of one language if one is already fluent in another.

I hope I have provided some insight to your question.
