“Is everyone in Hong Kong good at English?” This question is a bit misleading. While it’s true that English is widely taught and used in Hong Kong, not everyone is proficient in the language. The level of English proficiency varies from person to person, depending on factors such as their age, education background, and occupation.

Hong Kong was a British colony for several decades, so many people grew up speaking both Cantonese and English. As a result, there are many Chinese-speaking Hong Kongers who are fluent in English. However, there are also many who have limited or no exposure to English outside of school or work settings.

Furthermore, English proficiency is not the only important skill for success in Hong Kong. Many successful Hong Kongers have expertise in other areas such as finance, law, or technology. So while some may be proficient in English, it’s not necessarily a guarantee of success or social status.
