bull fucking shit. I’ve never had trouble speaking English to any Dutchman, whereas the only Germans who are fluent are usually university-educated and work in fields with many foreigners such as medicine or hospitality.

That's what I was telling people for decades.

Water, Wasser
I, Ich
Me, mich
Bath, Bad
...

The languages are closely related and yet when you're on the English speaking internet everyone pretends that
A. Germans are bad at speaking English
B. German is hard to learn for English speakers
C. The secret for scandinavians supposedly being oh so good at speaking English is that they don't dub movies (unlike we do in Germany).

ALL WRONG!

Everyone needs to apologize and acknowledge Germans as the superior English speakers, especially scandinavians

>I only come into contact with a biased set of the Dutch who by definition interact with foreigners like myself
>I never even try speaking English with other Germans because we both know German so I have no actual way to assess their level if English proficiency
>Also I am the big exception in Germany and everyone else is a retard (this definitely isn't a mental bias either)
>There is actual data? No, it's wrong because it just is.
>My own source? It occured to me in a weed shop next to the train station in the middle of Amsterdam
