As a native English speaker this is somewhat comforting since it means I can get around easily, but my family is planning to move to the Netherlands this summer and one thing that strikes me is how hard it will be to learn Dutch when virtually everyone seems to speak excellent English. I was looking for a summer camp for my daughter and was a little dismayed to realize they were an English-only summer camp - to help Dutch kids learn English. Hopefully she'll become fluent anyway (she's only 5).
