Well, I learnt American English in primary school,
then German and BE up till A levels,
a little bit of Spanish (from the soaps watched with my nan  ::)
and the `real` English once i moved here in `05
It doesn`t look like in my old course books though  :-?

Used to speak reasonably fluent German when I was DJing on German passenger ships for 2 years in the mid 70's. 8-) Forgotten a lot now but could still get by.

...and you'll never improve your English living north of the border.

Not that I believe you - all the Dutch and Flemish-speaking Belgians speak excellent English from the age of 8 onwards.  I suspect this partly to do with a very good language education system, but mainly to do with the fact that home-grown Dutch and Belgian tv is absolutely dire, so the kids watch English and American programs.  French-speaking Belgians speak French (sort of).

yes, the language education system in Holland is excellent. The reason for this is that holland has been an exporting country for 100's of years and to succeed in export one has to know their languages :y

Of course we also have dutch programs on the telly, but you are right in saying the majority is english/american. If you look at the top 40 in Holland you will be lucky to find 3 or 4 dutch songs ;D

North of the border is nice though. I've lived in Chesterfield for about a year...totally crap there :D
At least now (after almost 3 years) I still have the feeling I'm on vacation :y

Fluent Welsh and English.

My French is okay, tho' not so hot on understanding when they get all het up and excitable, but that also applies to some of my British customers.   ::)
