You've got to be kidding....

"I'd imagine that..."

This is a source? You should do standu-up.

It may be a poor source but it isn't necessarily wrong. English is
compulsory from 3rd or 4th grade in primary school in many European
countries. You won't be able to get through higher education levels
without extensive knowledge to English. Though the term "fluent" is
difficult to define.
Fortunately, English is probably the easiest to learn of the major
languages, although the subtleties of the language may be difficult to
grasp without actually living in an English speaking country. I'd hate
to begin to learn Chinese in 4th grade.
