I used to live in Amsterdam; everyone spoke English at the slightest provocation. I tried hard to avoid so provoking them because I was trying to relearn my mostly forgotten native language, Dutch. Well, some exceptions. Young children may not. Though I did meet some five-year-olds who were learning German from the German edition of Sesame Street. And I once met a German tourist who didn't speak either English or Dutch. -- hendrik _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
