Spain holds the 26th position among European nations in English proficiency, suggesting that while Spaniards are recognizing the significance of English, substantial improvement is still lacking.
Interestingly, regions like Galicia and Madrid excel in English proficiency, while less touristy areas like Extremadura rank significantly lower, revealing a disparity in language skills across Spain.
Xavier Marti suggests a radical change is needed for improvement, claiming that stopping the dubbing of films would be essential for enhancing the English proficiency of Spaniards.
