Yes, I am very proud that Portugal is not poorly ranked when it comes to English proficiency. English language is essential to the field of education nowadays, especially in fields considered to be the future such as technology and science. I am not sure if you are aware or not since you never attended an university but at the universities you will find that many syllabi in science and engineering are written in English. It is the dominant language and most of the research and studies you find in any given scientific field will be written in it as well. Being proficient in a second language doesn't necessarily posse a threat to your native language, it is not like Portugueses are communicating with one another in English.
