My experience in Germany is quite the oposit, they don't wanna talk in english and will entretain your broken german unless they literally can't unterstand you.
Even in the street I am approached in german and "I do not look german" at all.
Germany has a very big immigrant population, so plenty of people who don't look German at all but speak fluently or even natively.
About English, they are very self-concious and they often say that they speak "a little bit" when they are for all intents and purposes fluent.
Exactly!
