Jake,

I am not Steve, but would like to share my opinion regarding German forummembers who speak English. Generally, all Germans learn a couple years English in school when they are children. So I could imagine that probably 90% or more in this forum would be able to hold a conversation in English, but I may be too optimistic? Looking forward to hear other opinions...
Yes, i agree to the opinion of Boris. But there is nevertheless a different in understanding and speaking English. But you can't compare the 90% of Forum members with the general population of Germany. I suppose there is an average of less than 30% of the Germans who are able to hold conversation in English.
The grade of education in this Forum is much higher... Of course...
