It is strangely unnerving, thus stressful, to have folks all around you speaking a different language. I'm sure it's something that people would get mostly used to over time, but it's oddly isolating, and a constant draw on the attention.

Okay, gotta know -- are you picking up on anything they're saying? Because it *is* Dutch, and I always get the impression I can almost read it.

They speak -- very quickly. With many extra syllables.

In Dutch, at least. Their English tends to be quite good.


Speak!
