I have always wondered how many of the forum members that are from non-English speaking countries able to speak English so well on the discussions. Are they orignally from English speaking countries, or have they learned English for business etc.

I lived outside the US for a few years, and have traveled extensively around the world on business and pleasure, and what you find is that in almost any country, English is the unofficial second language. To work in a foreign subsidiary of a US company you need to speak English, most hotel and other hospitality industry workers speak English, and many countries require English language training in school. All well-educated people--like those you find on boards like this--speak very good to excellent English. I lived in Amsterdam, where most people speak Dutch, English and at least one other language. My assistant spoke 6 languages...I had a hard time with English... We Americans are fortunate that our mother tongue really is the international language.

Maybe one have to have a better education to be able a get a job that pays enough for a E60 purchace...
The vast American entertainment industry (movies, TV, internet, PC games) and in Europe the highly qualitative Brittish TV/film sector makes good teachers for non Anglo-American people.

Also in European schools many foreign languages are learned. Since EU is not like US, only one language spoken (+ Spanish), one needs to manage a minumum 2 languaes to cope in the business world.

I speak four.

But usually one manages with the English language all over the world, almost...

You asked me why i am still single? Check out the ratio of women vs men in poughkeepsie. 1 woman for every 3 single men.

Is that an okay reason?
