europoooooor

pardon the anglocentricism, but thought #1 spot would be a nordic country... seems it's the netherlands instead 👀

also surprised germany isn't higher

We used to have exchanges with students from The Netherlands and they were more motivated and more competitive, also really proficient in mathematics and English. I’m not surprised.

would they learn german as well? presumably you guys could learn each other's languages fairly well? or just easier to communicate in english?

Thanks for the generous tip, appreciate you 🙏 I absolutely love visiting France and always feel at home. Mentality is different but I could imagine living there, at the coast though (being landlocked as hell where I live, it’s a dream)😅

interesting! having spent all my time in france, i know so little of germany and the netherlands, only expériences are from brief visits as a tourist

Dutch often proficient in German, not the other way around afaik. But I live in the South-West, closer to France and Switzerland. Might be different for folks who live up north closer to Benelux countries. But languages teached in school are English, French, (Latin) and Spanish.

If I read Dutch I understand a lot, but can’t speak a word 🫣
