    Yeah, I think you are confusing the German with the Dutch. (Which happens a lot…)

    Dutch generally speak several languages. Germans in general speak only German and rudimentary English (if you’re lucky).

    (A common Dutch gripe with visiting German tourists is that Germans just assume the Dutch speak German (which they mostly do, so okay, they’ve got a point, but still) and just start speaking German without asking first)
