Dutch May As Well Be Called English Experts

The Dutch have a language of their own but people traveling to The Netherlands need not worry about any language barrier. As long as they can speak the universal language, then there wouldn’t be a lot of problems. That’s because this nation has the majority of its population as proficient English speakers.

Yes, some Dutch living in the cities are sometimes so fluent that they don’t have any discernible accent! The 6th edition of the EF English Proficiency Index, which judges the English abilities of people in different countries, ranked the Netherlands as the first, surpassing its Nordic neighbors like Sweden and Denmark.
