@rootsandcalluses @peterbrown @moxie @finn That's actually not too bad, considering the willingness (or lack thereof) of the dutch to speak their language with non-native speakers. Even as a native Dutch speaker with a Belgian accent, people in Amsterdam will sometimes respond in English to me. I guess because they don't immediately recognize the accent so instead of taking one second to realize we speak the same language, they just switch? At least they don't confuse me with fruit. Ik ben ook geen banaan!
