      I barely can believe we rank so low. Is it because of the French and Italian speakers in CH?

      Maybe unpopular opinion but I’d guess it’s because of the romands. Look how France is faring in the ranking.

      Also in many countries english is the first foreign language you learn in school, in switzerland it’s usually one of the other national languages, so you spend much less time in school learning english.

      Because of the big french & italian part.
      The german speakers have an easier time.

      Considering the source, I wonder how it’s done. If it’s an internal EF data, it may only be about people buying their courses, which is not exactly a representative panel.

      I think there is no immediate need for many swiss people to learn English if they speak French and German, as there are good job opportunities in Switzerland, Germany, Austria and France. Also the boomers who didn’t grew up with the internet and never learned English in school.

      France and Italy rank even lower, so I assume the ~30% of the country that is French or Italian speaking is drawing down the average.

      Maybe because we also learn high german and french in school next to english.

      Pure coincidence statistics. Germany and Zcech in front of switzerland. lol

      Because of the French speaking part. French is a Latin language and English a Germanic one. It’s easier for German speaking people to learn English. I also think it’s pretty recent that we learn English in school

      many of the nations higher up than Switzerland begin studying English in first grade as a second language.

      In Switzerland they start in 8th grade, and it is the 4th language

      I call BS, being Hungarian I 100% confirm they are rather close to the other end of that snake. Also Portugal that high on the list? No way

      Personally, I get the impression that it’s coming from the countryside, especially in the German-speaking part of Switzerland, which is densely populated, but they don’t give a damn about English in their villages.

      Have you tried to speak in English in any shop in Geneva?
