Why do Hong Kong people speak English so well?

On the one hand, English is one of the official languages ??of Hong Kong. English is also used in many public places and daily communications. Therefore, they have a relatively good English learning environment. After immersing yourself in such an environment for a long time, your sense of English will also improve.

On the other hand, Hong Kong is an international financial city. Many foreigners go to Hong Kong for tourism, business trips, etc. So if you want to deal with these people, you must learn English well. I used to travel to Hong Kong often, and the English proficiency of the Hong Kong people I met varied.

Relatively speaking, those who speak English very well are those who have returned from studying abroad. Hong Kong families who have the conditions will send their children to study abroad, and many of them send them out in junior high school or high school. When they come back from college, they naturally speak English very well. Another type is children from rich families. I attended an international school in Hong Kong since I was a child, receiving bilingual education and even all-English education. So, when they grow up, they can speak English very well.
