Re: DO YOU SPEAK ENGLISH?

Some Dutch I know even dream in English they use it so much. This despite living and working in NL with their countrymen.

I heard a similar thing from a German friend. He was fluent in French and English and used to go meet his family in France for three weeks each summer (he couldn't visit them in Germany because he was trying his best not to get conscripted). He said that about a week after returning to England he'd suddenly realise he was thinking in English instead of in German.
