Answer 5

I'm Spanish and I live in Spain. There're not many people that speak English in my country, and if they do, they just know some words.

According to a recent survey, only 18% can hold a conversation in English.

P.S. Sorry for my English :)

Answer 6

Don't know the number, but I can tell you that it a h**l of lot more than people in this country that can speak any other language.

Answer 7

like 45%

Answer 8

That's a good question...

About 15 % speak as good english as your own..

another 15% speak fairly fluent english.

Another 20% have notions of the language, they could answer simple questions, or give you directions, but probably could not maintain a long conversation.

As you see this covers nearly half the population

About 80% of those under 40 have studied english in school. Although once out of shool, many have lost what they learned for lack of practice.

Those in the age group over 40 may have had some english in school, but not all.
