I don't know in others countries but In France, we are forced to learn English at school -_-. Possibly (Or inevitably), another language (Chinese, Russian, german, spanish, japanese, italian...)
So that's why a lotta French people know how to talk English (I think)
How about the others countries ? (in yours ?)

+1. If I don't know a word in French, I use the Ancient Greek to guess it :)
If I don't know a word in German, I use the English to guess it :p
