So you're 17? Bright kid then.
I mean it though, I sat it on a presentation about pension schemes today at work, hour and a half of Dutch to concentrate on, my head was spinning. The guy also "spoke English" but that is an extremely relative term. Way too many people don't actually speak it in the sense that they can communicate accurately, they just throw a few correct words into a sentence and it's close enough. Much like my horrendous Dutch.
