Here in Slovenia everyone speaks fluent English. Many people in neighboring Croatia speak it too (almost everyone born after 1980)
English in Europe
<<tu t'es trompé de sous-forum. Ce débat intéresse la section monolingue. >>
<<Sauf qu'ici on s'en fout : l'anglais en Europe (ou ailleurs), c'est hors-sujet.>>
Salut greg,
J'ai pensé que ce thread va être intéressant pour les gens qui fréquentent la section multilingue. On peux déclarer que les les Néerlandais peuvent parler l'Anglais mieux que les scandinaviens parce que sa langue (i.e. le Néerlandais) est linguistiquement plus proche de l'Anglais que le Suédois, par example.
Anyways, I feel really tempted to change the subject of my own thread to Turkey and its joining the EU.
Only 3% of Turkey's landmass is in Europe, the rest (97%) is in Asia.
Also, Turkey was always distinct from Europe in terms of history and culture, factors such as Christendom, the Reformation, or the Enlightenment never took hold in Turkey but have tremendously helped shape and unify most of Europe and provide justification and rationale for the European Union, which is 100% secular today of course.

But I highly doubt that Slovenia has the same capacity of speaking English as Sweden, for example, which even produced music bands that sing in English (e.g. Abba, Ace of Base, Oh Laura, E-Type, Da Buzz... etc.)
Same thing with the others...
Norway --------> Röyskopp
Netherlands ---> Four Strings
Belgium (VL) --> Ian Van Dahl, Lasgo, Kate Ryan, Milk Inc.

100% fluency in English would beat out any Scandinavian country, and even the US.

The only reason I mentioned Turkey in the list of southern European countries is because there's serious consideration about it joining the EU. Contrast that with China, US, or Somalia, which are 100% non-European (and will presumably stay out of EU until (heaven help us) it morphs into the World Union (WU) or Earth Union (EU)).

Even Italy produced music bands that sing in English: Eiffel 65 even won a Grammy Award, but you cannot say Italians are fluent in English.
50% of European dance music is produced in Italy, and sung in Italian.

Italian is more widely spoken and understood than English in Slovenia, Croatia, and Albania.

Not true at all. Non parlar bugie.

When I was in Serbia, and passing through Slovenia and Croatia, All of the younger people I ran into spoke fluent English to some degree.
Only the older folks did not speak it. They spoke to me in German thinking I would understand them (which I did since I speak German as well).

T'inquiète pas : ton salon est très intéressant mais j'attends juste des animateurs qu'ils le replacent dans la section idoine. C'est leur boulot après tout.
