Sure, every Dutch child get two years of German in secondary school, but I think very few keep up with it. Plus you're in the Netherlands, be glad we don't just keep talking in Dutch to you and we generally speak okay to good English.

Do those German and Russian speakers not speak Dutch? Or better yet, do you know any completely foreign language...Esperanto or Klingon would be ideal? Next time someone tries to get you to speak German or Russian that way, only speak to them in a language you're sure they don't understand!
