If I would be limited to my own language, the pool of people, I'd talk with, would be all too limited for my taste.

I kinda would love to use Esperanto or some other made up language as lingua franca though.

"Germans also have a very good general level of English." – They don't really, they're actually quite bad at it. I think it's because they dub everything in their TV, so they don't encounter English daily unless they seek for it, or are active internet users. In my opinion Germans are below the average, when it comes to knowing English.
