er, thats a no. Just look into Japan, they have subbed movies, they have dual channel movies on TV (english/japanese) and they really struggle and fight with even basic english. why? because it is too different to their own language ...
OTH you might be right for european countries, I always think eg Scandinavian countries are far superior in english because they see, watch everything in english on TV, etc ... and I see it on myself, if I wouldn't have started watching movies in english and reading books in english I think I would be the same "no inglisch heare" ignorant like a lot of my friends in Austria are ... adding a second thought to Japanese, they all WANT to learn japanese desperatly ... its just horrible difficult for them, weather a lot of austrians are not even interested in doing so ... "english? why? I don't need it ..." ... ignorants ...
