Maybe you don't need the language for work. But you will need te learn the language eventually for other day to day interactions.
Or the paper works outside of the labs.
Don't know about other countries, but in Norway you always have the option of getting websites and government information in English. Everyone speaks it including cashier's, cleaners etc.
The same thing is not true in Germany and Spain.
I would most certainly disagree that every person speaks English. Especially older people don't, but in general many people here do not speak a good english
Oh, I see that I totally forgot to mention I'm from Germany
