Adults in Denmark are the best non-native speakers of English in the world according to a report released by Education First (EF).
The English Proficiency Index (EF EPI) is based on the findings of a global survey of 750,000 adults across 63 nations and territories. In it, Danish adults take the top spot followed by the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland and Norway – confirmation that the Nordic countries pretty much dominate.
