It's hard to find a person who can't speak more than two languages in the Netherlands. Almost all Dutch people can use two or three languages fluently, or even more.

In the ranking of English proficiency of non-English-speaking countries, the Netherlands ranks first all the year round, because the English environment is very friendly, and people who can't speak Dutch at all can live well in the Netherlands. No matter you go to a supermarket, a restaurant or anywhere, you don't need to worry about the language barrier-unless you meet an older person.

Why are Dutch people so proficient in foreign languages?

First of all, thanks to the developed economic conditions, the Dutch have more time and money to learn various languages-and can afford international travel and study abroad, so it is not surprising that they can learn languages well.

Secondly, Dutch people usually learn English from the senior grade of primary school, and learn a second foreign language (usually French, Italian or German) in middle school, and many "schoolmasters" learn ancient Greek and Latin. Multilingual environment is a common thing for Dutch students, and because of this, the foreign language level of the whole country has been constantly improving.

In addition, the Netherlands has always been a big trading country and a country with global thinking. In order to gain an advantage in international business, the Dutch attach great importance to language learning.

Last but not least, Dutch is a part of the West Germanic language family, which is one of the languages closest to English, and has many similarities with German (there is a popular saying that Dutch = half German+half English). This is obviously very helpful for the Dutch to learn English.
