We generally say if you shout Dutch it sounds German (especially if you do it in a certain way). So I guess the reverse also holds true somewhat. Though I think in general people who've had a drink or two speak more 'fluently' in foreign languages. Mostly because they don't think too much about what they're trying to say. Also translation: "If flies fly behind flies, flies fly flight speed" (in general the translation for vliegensvlug is 'as fast as lightning' which isn't really accurate and I suppose a better translation is "a bird's flight(speed)" than lightning)

As soon as a word has three (or more) meanings you can suddenly create silly long sentences with one word in dutch: Als in bergen bergen bergen bergen, dan bergen bergen bergen in bergen. If mountains hide mountains in bergen (a place name) then mountains hide mountains in bergen. And similarly: Als zeven zeven zeven zeven, dan zeven zeven zeven zeven If seven sieves sieve sieves, then seven sieves sieve sieves. (this one works surprisingly well in english too)
