Is Being Proficient in English Still Necessary?
The need for English differs between reading information and discussing or negotiating in real time. Compare the situations you encounter, your ability to check a translation and time available for study when deciding what level is necessary for your own goals. Reading is easier to cover with a dictionary or a translation tool, while a live exchange turns on asking again and correcting yourself. Judging a translation still takes some reading, so the line is personal.
