England is hardly a popular country around the globe
I really hate to say this but i've worked all over Europe and have to say that this statement is generally correct. My work usually keeps me in one place for 6 months to a year - so learning the basics of the local language is a must (Except Belguim and The Netherlands) Three Phrases I learn first are
"Please"
"Thankyou"
and
"No I'm not English, i'm Scottish"
Sad to say the last one gets me a lot further with the locals
