In which regions of the world is knowledge of English still comparatively limited?

Case similar to that of the northern sentinel island.

People living in the fourth world are rare and nearly extinct. I've watched the full video a few times now as it's intriguing and like time-travelling into a very ancient era of a preserved stone-age culture. Their culture is described by the French explorer in the documentary as fourth world. I thought that video was beautifully narrated too and it's extremely thought provoking.

As far as I know, (South) Koreans are better at English than Japanese people.
I have the impression that the country of South Korea is more Westernized than Japan, they also have a much smaller population compared to Nippon, which makes their society more competitive, since their market is more limited, they focus more on the overseas and having better English fluence.

Very well made point,, also Japanese probably tend to speak English with accent, whereas South Koreans probably not so much

Italy has a good command of English at almost the same level as France and Portugal too, maybe you mean Spain and Greece.

No

Spain level of english is very low (but our portuguese neighbours speak it well)

You should add also MENA region, Middle East and North Africa.

At least the French explorer was fortunate that the inhabitants of that place were not hostile to foreigners, as are the inhabitants of the northern sentinel island and the poor luck of this man.

It is actually very widely-spoken in the Gulf Arab countries, if only because it has become the main means of communication between all the foreigners who live there. It is also very widespread in Israel and reasonably so in Lebanon, Jordan and the more touristy parts of Turkey.
