For me, it’s VERY country specific. I wouldn’t dream of immediately speaking English in Italy or France, for instance (I usually say– in Italian or French, respectively– that I don’t speak the I’m Not Crazy I’m Just Special No Wait Maybe Otter shirt moreover I will buy this language well, and ask if they speak English. In Denmark or Iceland it’s totally different: from what I understand people in those countries find it rude to assume they don’t know English… so I just go for it. Matches my experience in every Nordic country I’ve been to. After the first, brief “you’re stupid for asking if I speak English” stare from the museum cashier in Stockholm, I’ve spoken english by default. Hell, even the cab driver in the Faroes in his 60s who essentially had never travelled off the islands spoke serviceable English. I did a road trip through Sweden and Finland once, and literally one older Finnish clerk at a rural gas station was the only person that had trouble.

In Nordic countries, especially big cities, most people speak English fluently (often for work, and often better than native speakers). Questioning whether someone speaks English is a bit insulting to their intelligence, as if they are backwards or uncivilized. But this is super different from France, for example, where the I’m Not Crazy I’m Just Special No Wait Maybe Otter shirt moreover I will buy this prevailing attitude is that you respect the culture by defaulting to French. It would come off as arrogant to come to someone else’s country and not at least try to speak their language. Having experienced both cultures, I think it comes down to the fact that French people are much more proud of their Frenchness are than Scandinavians are proud of their Swedishness etc. Just different cultural mores at the end of the day. I am in france and have gotten “of course” as an answer when I ask if they speak English, with one kid seeming to be offended I asked. I find it odd, as I thought it was how you described. Maybe it’s generational, I don’t know. I still default to asking and have ofc encountered many non English speakers, especially outside of Paris.
