However bad it is in your case, it's usually significantly worse for a country with, say, 8 million people instead of your 80 (plus Switzerland and Austria)

>It could be like Japanese where they have a lot of English loan words but don't actually speak English.
It wasn't anglicisms. I know Japanese have them, but the Tunisian's case was very different, and typically Tunisian Arabic includes more French loan words than English AFAIK. I'd post it if I had it but you're just gonna have to "trust me bro".
>Culture is also important in this, Germany has a bigger population and Economy than France but is more influenced by English media and less insulated than France. Because the French are arrogant and most of them don't speak English or even want to speak English.
You're right that other factors are at work and that culture is a big one.
>The Tunisian's speak Arabic which is a language spoken by far more people than German is and they do also have their own media sphere
The cultural output of the Arabic world is abysmal outside of Islamic matters, so it's not surprising that a seemingly non-religious girl would gravitate to the global monoculture. Even Turks run laps around Arabs in this regard, like with their TV drama shows.
