@ Link, to answer your PM

From this report, 34% of Frenchies speak English. I am very dubious.
IMHO, i would say 15% (may be a bit more for professionals).
I think some people confuse to understand some words and to speak.
I am not a statistician, so go figure.

Cheers,

That report needs to split another hair: It should read 34% of the French speak English, but never in France.

In general, almost everybody with at least college education speaks English. In NE parts also german, on west it is italian. I would say that about 80% of university education speaks english and 50% one more foreign language.
