I'm surprised they rank so highly.

I was pretty much blown away despite having a better command of the language than many. At my multinational postgrad school, when it came to Engrish studies, the Poms were eons ahead, Merkins far exceeded Aussies and we lagged a long way behind, with the younger the dumber being a general rule of thumb. I wish I could sound brag, but I was totally out of my depth.

Asia has the widest differences in English proficiency levels. Singapore had the highest score among Asian countries, coming in at number 10 in the world. Yet several Central Asian countries were toward the bottom of the list. Their low rating, the report suggests, is partly because Russian is the second language that is most commonly taught in schools.
