Do most Dutch people speak English? I mean, if I was to learn Dutch, would it be worth me speaking Dutch if I visit?
How pissed were you that you lost to Argentina on penalties in the semi finals?

I'm about 1.85 m tall. :smile: As far as I know we're the tallest people in the world! And yes, I can speak Dutch fluently given the fact that I have been living in the Netherlands since I was born here.

Yes, most Dutch people speak English very well actually! However, there are always exceptions to this rule. Also, most Dutchies appreciate it and will encourage you if you try to talk Dutch but there's no need to.

Well, losing from Spain in 2010 felt way worse in my opinion.

I lived in Amsterdam for a year and most of the time when I tried to speak Dutch they immeditely spoke to me in English. Considerate but annoying as I wanted to practise my Dutch. One person did then smile and speak in Dutch when I just wouldn't speak English despite both of us knowing that I was and my Dutch was poor.

However it is always nice to learn a language and so try and learn at least a few phrases.

Would you say Dutch is a hard language to learn for a beginner? I'm very interested in The Netherlands. :cute:
Have you ever put your finger in a dyke?
Are you a pothead?
Are Dutch people as liberal as people make them out to be?
Are you a girl or a guy? What do you think about the opposite sex of your nationality in compared to others?
What do you think about the school system you guys have over there?
Do you like Kud?

I have a Dutch friend and he's really cool. But I don't know if I just happen to have a cool friend or most Dutch people are like that (judging from his Facebook friendlist :P) Anyhow, the Netherlands in one of my favorite countries.

What do you think of Germany/Germans? Not particularly you, Dutch people in general - I never understood what kind of relationship the 2 countries have.
