I'm going to Germany on holiday but stopping at Amsterdam for a few days as well. Can anyone tell me phrases in Dutch like:
Hello
Please
Thank you
How are you?

etc
I'm sure a lot of people speak English there but I think it's polite to learn some phrases if you're going to a different country. Thanks x

Everyone today speaks with slang and made up words. It's as if they've made an actual attempt to un-do what the school systems have done. Why is it that only about 30 % of Americans speak fluent english?
