In Germany you start with English in 5th grade, I wouldn't call that late. In the German state where I live they are now starting kids with English in 1. grade except for those poor kids living along the Rhine, they have to start with French.
On the other hand I learned my English at a boarding school and was fluent when I returned to Germany, so I can't say how good people really are after they've finished school.
good karma
