      Can personally attest to Denmark having loads of English speakers.

      I encountered exactly one person in my travels there who did not speak fluent English.

      I’d learned a little, so I tried to use Danish to order things, ask directions etc, and everyone replied in perfect English.

        I live in Denmark. I’ve met a few people who don’t speak any English but they’re not Danish :D

        Also it’s a fun language learning trope here that it’s hard to practice because people will just reply in English if your pronunciation isn’t good/it’s obvious you’re not Danish. It’s not ubiquitous but it definitely exists sometimes
