Have you ever been to a foreign country? As an English speaker in a foreign nation, you will no doubt be surrounded by people who speak English--even if it's rudimentary English they learned just to help their American customers. I was approached numerous times by people asking me questions not only in English, but other languages they assumed I spoke--Spanish, French, and Farsi among others. These weren't just in major tourist centers and global cities.

It's this nice little thing we call globalisation.
