Is it better to learn Polish or German when moving out to Europe?

Question

Do most Poles or Germans know English?

Answer 1

Well doesn't that largely depend on which country it is that you are living in.

If in Poland then Polish

If in Germany then German

It's not really a difficult decision!

English is spoken in many countries as a second language, but you will not manage in either country without learning the local language.  In order to live, work & integrate successfully, then start before you even move there...... (assuming you have a visa/passport that allows you to move there in the first place)

Answer 2

You don't need Polish except in Poland.  Many Germans speak some English, but greatly appreciate it if English speakers have gone to the trouble of learning a bit of German.
