I think you can extend that to most of Europe (minus France
). Like Finland, Sweden, Germany etc. (I'm german). You learn english in school. Most of the internet is english. At least half of the software you use is in english. The newest movies on the net (*cough cough*) are in english. So since the language is always around you, you never stop learning. For the english speaking community the situation is reversed, I guess. Hence I learn to articulate myself in the other language and can speak english fluently after some days of getting accustomed to it, being in a foreign country, while you'll struggle to come up with something comprehensible in the language you learned at school, i.e. a long time ago. And the French, well, I don't want to make bad jokes, seem to be preoccupied with French.
