And Flemish people have a totally different accent when speaking English than Dutch people. TO my ears most Dutch people have a distinct English accent; some more than others, but almost always identifiable as from Dutch origin. Walter Lewin (as in e.g. https://youtu.be/sJG-rXBbmCc https://youtu.be/sJG-rXBbmCc) is a quite extreme example, despite the fact that he has lived in the US since 1966. Carice van Houten (Melisandre in Game of Thrones) has it too but less pronounced. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Flemish people have a distinct English accent too, and that I simply don't notice it as much (being Flemish myself). Germans speaking English are often recognizable as well.
