Yes the English qualities in Germany itself are a total shitshow compared to the countries around Germany (except France and Italia)

Only because of their exacting standards. Even when I lived in Germany in the 90s the only time I had trouble understanding someone speaking English was when our realtor was trying to be racist but didn’t know the English words.
