Eh good catch...

But are we maybe flattering english a tad here, as a european born american I can tell you it's the norm in europe to learn 2-3 languages at least with english being very high at the top but not 'main language' it's always secondary, sure english is becoming #1 global language but in many of the countries listed english really is a secondary language, the fact that the population is able to master it to such a degree is impressive due to necessity but still there are regional dialects even of their primary language that takes precedence before english. let's keep things in perspective
