Do they understand English in Germany?

Oh yes they do and they are so kind people. I really was a shame that even I wasn't that good in English like they were.

Answer:
The younger people mostly speak at least a little English and enjoy “practicing” it with English speaking visitors. I lived in Germany for 3 years and tried to learn a tiny German but each time I tried to use it, they would answer me in English! I found the Germans to be very polite and I enjoyed my stay while I was there.

Answer:
No, nobody and certainly not me

Seriously, almost everybody had it in school and most people can at least comprehend it. They might feel a tiny uncertain when they have to talk it but they’ll try.

Now, come over and see for yourself!
