it is true that all Germans speak the English language?

Think not, what many jounger German may have the basics in English, but this does not imply that they master the english language.

ich glaube es ist einfach überheblich irgeneine sprache als weltsprache zu bezeichnen.da müsste dann so etwas wie esperanto her. oder würden "wir"es ohne weiteres hinnehmen wenn alle chinesen dieser welt verlangenwürden die ganze welt sollte chinesisch können. so kann man noch weiter spinnen.zum beispiel glaube ich meine muttersprache wird langsam aber sicher zu einem misch-masch aus deutsch und türkisch später vieleicht einmal ganz türkisch,WENN uns der klimawandel nicht bis dahin schon die chinesen wegen hochwassers in China geschickt hat. TJA darüber komme ich ganz schön ins grübeln. MfG Kermit1942

nein, eigentlich sprechen sogar immer weniger deutsche englisch.

aber die, die es sprechen, sprechen es sehr gut.

Definitely not true.

Although most of the younger Germans are offered English courses at school, in some regions French is the first language they learn because of the close proximity to France.

Especially the less educated and the older Germans have large deficits, but the "modern" words, like computer, service point, Tourist Information etc are familiar to most people.

You will find more English speaking people in Norway, Sweden etc, as they have many american movies on TV in original language with subtitles, which trains the brain!

No and especially not in the eastern part, they had to learn Russian instead of Englisch.

No, some of them can´t speak German. ;-))

not all of them. but nearly everybody had at least a few years of english lessons in school. and thanks to the internet people nowadays have more contact with the english language, so they don't forget everything they learned in school.

most older people didn't have english in school and never learned it.

if you would have a holiday in germany you would surely find lots of people who spaek it good enough for at least simple conversation.

Most (west) german learned english at school,some better some more badly.

NO!

Most of them even don´t speak german well.....

Hey!

Everyone who goes to school can speak English.

But not older people.

Can you speak German?

=)
