Answer 4

United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada (except Quebec). Dozens of others use English on a regular basis--India, for example, has 17 official languages, but English is very common so people can communicate across cultural/linguistic boundaries. In other countries, like Japan, China, much of Europe, English is used in the business place, and in some post-secondary schools--it allows more fluidity and connection across borders. For better or worse, English has become the lingua franca.

Answer 5

Most of them. The short list might be what countries don't speak English. An even shorter list would be countries that didn't have a single English speaking person in it.

Canada, Australia, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa. Not sure but they may speak english in the Philippines.

Answer 7

USA
Canada (except the province of Quebec, which speaks French)
Australia

Jamaica (If you can understand their "english". Its tough, but not impossible)
England
I believe South Africans speak English.
And I think its an official language in India as well.
