Default Rates of learning of different nationalities

Hi all,

I heard once that different mother tongue speakers learn English at much different rates due to the similarity/difference between L1 and L2. Apparently, German speakers pick up the language 5 times faster than Chinese/Vietnamese speakers.

Does anyone have any info on this or personal experience?
