Most Dutch people I've met speak better English than a good percentage of Americans...


Actually, they have quite an American accent. Because they watch a lot of American shows in original language, as they explain.


This is true. Because we're such a small country, dubbing isn't viable (adding subtitles is cheaper). And I'm glad for it, because I can't stand dubbed things, but that might just be because I'm not so used to it.
