Idk about the rest but Spanish people suck at English.

Italians have more or less the same level.

It is probably due to the fact that Romance languages are further from English than Germanic languages like Dutch and German.

Portuguese can speak english just fine.( I'm clearly biased since I am portuguese.)

I think a major difference is that Portugal has the original audio on every movie/show except kid shows, which improves our english accent.
