We are all from different and varied backgrounds around the world, in where English could be more or less spoken by general population.
This question is quite open because there could be many particular cases in where despite English is not spoken natively by a majority of people as a native language, it is used generally in the media or education, leading people to have at least a decent knowledge of English (like Malaysia or Philippines). There are also cases in where a country is deemed as anglophone yet there are areas in where practically nobody uses English (for example, in several US cities bordering with Mexico).
In my personal case, I live in an area in where English usage is rare, in where Spanish is mandatory for literally everything. Most people here don't understand English, and most of them that do, have emmigrated; thus this place having less people proficent in English than before. At best, I estimate 2% of people on my area can hold a conversation in English, I have met a few with varying degrees of fluency, from barely knowing how to speak in present to people that have impressed me with their skill.
So, I'd be quite glad to see your answers ;3
