As a native English speaker who speaks a few languages I have mixed opinions about this. On the one hand it sometimes annoys me when people speak back to me in English. On the other hand I try not to force people to speak to me until I am confident I can speak at a reasonably adult level. It's not fair to treat people as unpaid conversation tutors. It can be very tiring trying to maintain a normal conversation with somebody whose language skills are pretty basic.

@timothydouglas9474 Ай бұрын

I agree with you; other people aren't unpaid language tutors and aren't obliged to speak their language with us. I think most of us are usually reasonable and can recognize when our skills in the local language skills aren't sufficient. I'm not annoyed when someone switches to English if I'm not good enough. Hence, we should develop a language learning method which allows us to improve our conversation skills independently of people we are not paying, e.g. language exchange. At the same time, we are not other people's unpaid English tutors; we have no obligation to speak English with them.

@leobe2104 Ай бұрын

I'm German and here, people also switch to English. Any time someone has an accent, they switch to English, but I think that's pretty condescending. Thinking that just because someone has an accent, they don't speak German well enough and should change to English, who knows if they even speak English anyway? I only switch to English of the person asks me to

Wat leuk om deze video tegengekomen te hebben! Vier jaar geleden verhuisde ik zelf naar Nederland (vanuit de VS) met mijn Nederlandse partner die ik in New York heb ontmoet. Grappig genoeg heb ik veel van deze Easy Language videos gekeken maar... voor het Duits, toen ik de Duitse taal aan het leren was (erg lang geleden; voor het leuk; voordat ik mijn nu Nederlandse partner heb leren kennen). Hoe dan ook... bij het begin van mijn avontuur om de Nederlandse taal te leren heb ik precies dezelfde worsteling gehad zoals veel buitenlanders in Nederland die ernaar streven om de Nederlandse taal onder de knie te krijgen, namelijk: Nederlanders switchen razend snel (terug) naar het Engels in een gesprek. Als gevolg hiervan is het erg lastig te blijven oefenen om je Nederlands te verbeteren. Wij willen ook niet het volgende horen: "Ach ja, nog een expat die geen Nederlands spreekt!!" Blijf in het Nederlands praten! Daardoor komen wij elkaar tegemoet 🙂

I found this happening less frequently since I moved to a suburb in Haarlemmermeer, and then being a little more confident using it in Amsterdam where they will usually ask if it's ok to stay in Dutch or switch. In my experience, people who do it without asking are generally favoring having a shorter interaction/transaction time.

I'm happy to speak to the Dutch in English, AS LONG AS they are also willing to speak their language to me.

Maar jaren na mijn terugverhuizing (mede om mijn stiefvader te helpen met zijn nederlands), heb ik steeds minder de neiging om gelijk engels te praten tegen engelstaligen die nederlands praten (dus zelfs als ze terugvallen in het engels of ik moet even voor ze vertalen, blijf ik nederlands praten).

Hoi Nederlandstaligers. Als buitenlander maar toch leerder van jullie taal, onafhankelijk van jullie intenties, kan ik het wel zeggen dat het kut is om naar het Engels over te schakelen zonder de kans te geven aan mensen die jullie taal proberen te leren. Als jullie echt hulpbaar willen zijn, kunnen jullie vragen of ZE Engels liever willen spreken (zoals de eerste man in de video) OF geduldig zijn en de persoon proberen te helpen in het Nederlands. Jullie moeten beseffen dat die buitenlandse persoon ontelbare uren heeft besteden aan het leren van het Nederlands. Dat betekent dat elke keer dat jullie naar het Engels zonder waarschuwing overschakelen, wordt deze poging van communicatie/uitoefening een teleurstellende poging voor de leerder. Dus, alsjeblieft, proberen jullie een beetje meer geduld en verstaan te hebben voor de buitenlanders, zolang ze respectvol zijn met uw taal, natuurlijk. Bedankt

It’s a personal choice, I mean I do ask people in the Netherlands to speak Dutch to me but sometimes when I got something quick to do like I got no time I just go on with English but I try to make it less and less. So there is always a space to ask your language of preference if you reach a compromise with the person.

@4svennie 2 ай бұрын

Yes. Like the gentleman was saying in the video. I was offered a job in the south of the Netherlands on the spur of the moment so I didn't know any Dutch. But trying to learn it while living and working over there was quite difficult because no matter where I went, when I tried to speak and practice my Dutch, it almost always got, 'oh I speak English, we speak English!', and then telling them I need to practice, they'd say. 'no we speak English'. It was the same in Germany whether I was in a big city, Mannheim, or small town, Freiburg.

@timothydouglas9474 Ай бұрын

That's unfortunate. Some people do give up on language learning because of "English-switchers". One Dutchman even told me (in English, of course) not to bother learning Dutch because it was too difficult and everyone would just switch to English. Which isn't true, in my experience (most people don't switch) and those who do switch to English are not the target audience; I don't learn a language for the minority who switch to English, but for the majority who are glad that I've learned their language

This is the specific reason that made me stop learning Dutch and learn a different language instead. Almost every Dutch person I ever talked to through apps wanted to practice their languages ONLY and not help with Dutch, and not only that, many were determined to NOT speak any Dutch, EVEN when addressed first and in good Dutch. I've learned many languages over the years and Dutch was by far my worst experience of all when it comes to speakers.

Bedankt voor deze video! Dit fenomeen gebeurt vaker, en niet alleen in Nederland maar ook overal te wereld. Ongeacht je taalniveau zal je altijd mensen tegen komen, die ongevraagd naar het Engels overschakelen als je de plaatselijk taal spreekt. Er zijn er veel mogelijke redenen voor, bijvoorbeeld denken ze dat je hun taal niet goed genoeg spreekt (soms terecht, soms onterecht), misschien willen ze zelf Engels spreken om te oefenen, eventueel nemen ze aan dat je liever Engels spreken wilt, enzovoort. Veel Nederlanders spreken goed Engels, sommige heel goed Engels, een KLEIN minderheid uitstekend Engels, maar ik vraag me af hoe veel aandacht aan de volgende punten geschenkt wordt: (1) Het feit dat het Engels zich verschilt van andere talen, want het wordt voornamelijk als een soort Lingua Franca geleerd ene gebruikt om met BUITENLANDERS en niet met Engelstalige te communiceren. Dus is de bijhorende boodschap als men naar het Engels overschakelt, "Je bent BUITENLANDER, dus gebruiken we de taal voor BUITENLANDERS" (2) Wat zijn de functies van taal? We leren talen niet alleen om informatie over te dragen, maar om betere relaties met anderen op te bouwen en behalve het overdracht van informatie (3) Hoe, wanneer, onder welke omstandigheden moeten we naar een ander taal overschakelen? Kortom, we leren talen, maar niet altijd hoe we talen optimaal kunnen gebruiken. Het feit dat deze videot bestaat is daar bewijs voor, dat het Engels niet altijd op de optimale manier toegepast wordt.

The Dutch being so accommodating to make conversation easier is a great thing for tourists, but yeah, if you're trying to practice and they just switch to English it really doesn't help. I've not yet been in that situation - I've only been to the Netherlands once, and my Dutch friend did all of the communication while we were there, but if I *was* in that situation and the person I was speaking to switched to English, I would probably try to keep responding in Dutch anyway. Not that my Dutch is anywhere near good enough to do that well at the moment, so I'd probably wait until I get a bit better before even trying!

In Afrikaans, it's even worse. English is the lingua franca of the country, so every Afrikaans speaker is also fluent in English these days. Many, many times before it has happened that I've had entire conversations with another person in English only to find later they are Afrikaans as well! As such, if I find the slightest hint that you aren't a native speaker of Afrikaans, it seems to be totally normal to switch to English even without asking.

Bullshit. Dutch isn't going anywhere, especially considering most people there speak some level of English but it's not like they're all fluent

2,500 years ago the Franks, Saxons, Anglish and Fries were the same folk speaking the same tongue, so its not the biggest disasters, apart from the snobby French words.

Let's normalize speaking your native language with someone who learns your native language and is not showing any signs of wanting to switch to English! Honestly it feels rude and disrespectful to your efforts and gives you the feeling, that you are bad in speaking the language! It happened to me sometimes in Hungary, Hungarian being my second native language next to German, and I just have a slight German accent in this language, but still people switched to English and I just sad "Thank you, but I actually find it easier if we stick with Hungarian". But Germans and Dutch are more guilty of it I think.

But communication isn't just a pure exchange of information. Human language is a bit more complicated than that. Don't you think speaking the language of the place you're living in fluently means you're more likely to integrate/assimilate properly compared to someone who keeps using a foreign language?

@skyalmillegra2532 2 ай бұрын

It is quite boring when you try to speak a language and the natives speak to you in English. I understand when you don't have the choice : if the person doesn't speak enough well to be understood or understand. But if it is just to make the other feel that he is a foreigner (like in Italy or Canarias for example), I find it stupid.
