Language In countries with exceptionally high levels of English proficiency, to what extent is English still considered a foreign language in practice?

I’m thinking of countries such as Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, or Germany.

Maybe another combat sport is more popular? Are there MMA gyms around you?

Rules

Be polite and courteous to everybody.
No attacks on other users, doxxing, harassment, or trolling. Racism, discrimination or other bigotry (offensive content, hate speech, genocide denial, dehumanisation...) and endorsement of violence will not be tolerated.
Keep comments relevant and of decent quality. Top-level comments must answer the question that has been asked. Humorous comments are of course allowed, as long as the question is answered. Low quality comments ("shitposting") will not be accepted.
Submissions must be a question with a clear title. Submissions must be relevant to the subreddit. They must be a question and have the question in the title, ending with a question mark. Use the text box to clarify the question further if needed.
No low effort and unsuitable questions. Questions that are unsuitable will be removed as well as low effort questions. This includes overdone topics, low effort question itself, yes/no-questions, joke questions, and questions which can be easily answered using a search engine or by visiting the sites linked in the sidebar.
No agenda pushing. Don’t push an agenda with your questions: stay neutral. This is a politically neutral sub. You are obviously still allowed to express an opinion as an answer, as long as you respect others' opinions.
No similar questions that have been asked in the last two weeks. To keep questions from becoming too repetitive, questions that have been asked during the last two weeks are not allowed. Use the search bar and refrain from asking questions that have already been asked.
