Summary | Today's youth have much better foreign language competencies in English than previous generations. That could have many reasons related to changes in the educational system but one reason is certainly that they are becoming global citizens digitally. They don't want to miss out on anything on Netflix or YouTube because their English is too poor so they tend to know English quite well.
