That's true. I'm a linguist and have observed with myself being the oldest versus my younger brother, that I have a higher aptitude for Italian. For myself it's also because I was basically raised by my non English speaking grandparents and was their interpreter. But I would speak to my brother mostly in English. I observed the oldest toddler son of a cousin interacting with his Italian only speaking grandmother, and would switch to English for his mother. It's incredible how toddlers understand to switch from one language to another based upon who they're speaking with.

@Diem Golightly two years is a lot when your 6, 8, or 10 years old. Plus, languages are learned 100% proficiently up until about age 8 or so, so two years at 8 or earlier is HUGE. Eddie was 7 and Alex around 9 when they moved, so that's a significant difference. Alex had 28% more time in the Netherlands than Eddie, so almost a third more time immersed in the Dutch language.

For the people who don't speak Dutch, there's a really funny part in this interview where they say they sat next to the director of the film Twister, Jan De Bont (he also directed Speed with Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock). They said next to him because they made music for the film. Suddenly he starts singing a famous Dutch song and Eddie started to sing along. That's when the director Jan de Bont realised the van Halen brothers are Dutch, before that he had no idea. Alex and Eddie didn't know director Jan De Bont was Dutch but because of that moment they knew :):)

Roos Smit That song, sung by Arne Jansen, was a smash hit in The Netherlands in 1972, ten years after the family left The Netherlands.

It sounds so like English in a lot of ways, from the pronunciation of letters and words to the intonation. It's a really eerie and surreal feeling -- almost like listening to English on the radio when you're not paying much attention so you don't take in the meaning.

I started listening to Van Halen in the early eighties maybe seventy-nine. I always had the impression that David Lee Roth, Michael Anthony, Alex and Eddie Van Halen were just a bunch of homegrown California dudes. Through the eighties, nineties and until recently I had no idea they are Dutch/Indonesian. Alex and Eddie did have a bit of an ethnic look. So I assumed that since they're from Southern California they probably are part hispanic/Mexican American. Not a far fetched assumption since they're from Los Angeles. I have now viewed two videos where they are interviewed in Dutch. I have come to understand their immigration journey from the Netherlands to Southern California. It took a tragedy to bring this great story to the forefront. May God's Mercies be with Eddie Van Halen and God's Love, Peace and Grace with his family, band mates and friends.

Interesting to see how the DNA mixes all around and spits out different facial construct and skin tone. It would be interesting to know how genes like that are distributed. There is probably a science of this that people study at University.

That doesn't mean Dutch was removed in one or two generations, as people still conversed a lot with their parents or grandparents. Plus a lot of Indonesian people had migrated to the Netherlands and thus to keep contact they still maintained their ability to speak Dutch. So yeah, even when she is Indonesian it doesn't mean that Indonesian is her 1st language per-se.

But here, I think he means that they go around talking Dutch in public because then no one understands what they're saying and they don't have to worry about people eavesdropping on their conversations.

@@RicoLee27 Yes, to my untrained American ear, German sounds much "harsher" to me than Dutch. And interestingly, when I hear German people and Dutch people speaking English, somehow the Dutch accent in English speech sounds "gentler" to me than the German accent in English speech. Just an accident of the various languages' evolution I suppose. The say English is also a Germanic language, but about half the vocabulary comes from Romance languages, so it is useless for understanding real Germanic languages.

I've always been amazed at the people who can speak perfectly two languages their ability to speak to someone in their native tongue and then go back to their second language without sounding rusty or speaking "broken" English. I'm more jealous of that than I am learning to play guitar like him! Most people who come to America as young children, as Bob Hope did from England, very easily lose their native dialect, even as both his parents still spoke Cockney! Now I could never imagine him going back to England and talking with the Queen the same way he did the first few years of his life!

When a migrant speaks their native tongue, it is ind automatic how they go back to a time when they spoke it regularly. I left Holland aged 14 back in 1979, having retained all the Dutch I knew back then. But language is a live thing, constantly adopting new words and dropping others. So I speak 1979 Dutch that never moved on. The Van Halen boys spoke 1962 Dutch that never moved on. So when they speak, they inevitably go back to their childhood comfort zone, as happens with most migrants.

Als je kijkt naar het huis hierachter, dan denk je misschien: daar woont vast de president van Amerika. Nou, dat is niet het geval. Hier wonen Alex en Eddie van Halen. In Nederland zijn ze bekend als [Nederlandse uitspraak] Van Halen. In Amerika zeggen ze [Engelse uitspraak] Van Halen. Een hard rock band. Zij hebben de muziek gemaakt van de nieuwe film 'Twister.' En die film is geregisseerd door Jan de Bont. Nou een reden voor mij om natuurlijk even met ze te gaan praten. Eddie en Alex van Halen hebben het gemaakt. Hun band Van Halen is al 20 jaar een succes. 60 miljoen platen zijn in totaal van hen verkocht. Hun droomhuis in de heuvels van Los Angeles met een eigen studio-aan-huis zijn het resultaat van hun succes. In deze studio schreven ze twee nummers voor 'Twister' van Jan de Bont. Twee Nederlandse jongens uit Nijmegen, wereldberoemd in Amerika. René: Ik vind het ongelofelijk: toen jullie acht waren, ben je uit Nederland weggegaan, en nog steeds begrijp je Nederlands en kun je het praten. Eddie: Ja, we spreken bijna elke dag met mijn moeder. En ze woont vijf minuten van hier. En wij spreken Hollands. Want muren hebben oren. R: Maar voel je je ook nog een beetje Nederlands? E: Natuurlijk! Alex: Je kan wonen waar je wilt, je kan een paspoort hebben van elk land ter wereld, maar je kan het niet veranderen waar je geboren bent. En ik denk dat de eerste 5, 6 jaar van je leven, dat is erg… E: Dat is erg belangrijk. En je herinnert, je vergeet het niet meer. R: Kijk, jullie zijn als muzikanten natuurlijk vaak weer naar Nederland toe gegaan, maar wat voor jeugdherinneringen hebben jullie zelf van Nederland? A: Tony Mom. Tony Mom was mijn beste vriend. En Jeroen, dat was de enigste, want zijn vader had een auto. E: Ja, en hij speelde ook drums. A: Nee, dat was een andere, dat was… E: OK. Wie was dat? A: Euh, hoe heet ie ook weer? E: Het is de eerste keer dat wij eigenlijk muziek hebben geschreven voor een film, OK? We zijn allemaal Jan de Bont fans. En onze manager had ons gebeld en gevraagd of we de film willen zien. En nadat we de film zagen, het is de eerste keer dat wij eigenlijk… Zij hebben Van Halen muziek gebruikt in andere films, maar muziek dat we al geschreven hadden. Het is de eerste keer ooit dat wij hebben .?.?.? R: Het grappige was dat Jan de Bont wist niet eens dat jullie Nederlanders waren, hè? E: Nee, dat wist ik ook niet. R: En jij wist niet dat Jan de Bont… E: Ik zat naast hem de film te kijken en ik zei… A: En hij begon te zingen "Meisjes met rode haren" en zingt ie mee. R: Meisjes met rode haren? E: Ja. Maar ik vroeg: "waar komt u vandaan?" En hij zei: "ik kom uit Holland." Ik had zoiets van: "Shit! Zo zijn wij!" Ik had geen idee, want hij had geen accent. R: Iemand die dat "Meisjes met rode haren" gecomponeerd heeft in Nederland, die las ik hiervan ook een beetje. Maar, en je dus, je kende hem van 'Speed' natuurlijk. E: Ja, ja. A: De naam wel. R: Ja ja. Maar je heb je nooit gerealiseerd: dat is een Nederlander. A: Nee. E: Ik had geen idee. A: De Bont, dat is euh, dat klinkt meer Frans. In de studio was hij hun grootste hitschrijver, mogen wij even mee genieten van hun muziek voor 'Twister.' A: It's the 'Rock Song'… for the movie. R: OK. E: The "mellow song." E: We hebben de film een keer gezien, en vandaar gaan we thuis en ik zei: oh, ok, ik heb een idee, Alex had een idee, en samen wordt er iets. R: Ik begrijp van Jan dat jullie een song gemaakt hebben, maar ook muziek voor, euh… E: In het begin wel was het dat wij één lied schreven voor de film, maar toen had Alex een stuk muziek geschreven wat nu het einde van de film is. En dus ja, je werkt eraan en je denkt en je herinnert wat de film is en before you know it, je hebt iets. A: The music kind of fits with the thing of a tornado. It's always quiet before the storm comes, you know. So the music kinda goes up and down like this. R: En weet je welke scène dit gebruikt gaat worden? A: Wat? R: Weet je welke scènes dit gaan gebruiken? Or is this the song at the end titles? A: No, this is… E: Nee nee nee. A: This is during the movie. R: So you know what scenes…? E: This is for the… A: Listen to the sounds. Hear the sounds? It sounds like the lightning and the tornado coming. R: Right. E: This is 'Twister.' R: Yeah, ok. E: This is where they're chasing a tornado. R: Oh right, yeah. Is the song called 'Twister?' E: No no, it's called 'Humans Being.' R: Humans Being. E: Yeah. If you listen, it sounds like a tornado. R: Ah, yeah. Yeah, but this sound, I mean, you recognize the Van Halen, I mean it's… E: Yeah, yeah, yeah. A: There's no way gettin' around that. R: No, right. E: Deze heeft Jan de Bont himself, euh, de naam van het lied: Respect the Wind. A: Yeah, just go forward. R: Respect the Wind. E: Yeah. See, we didn't know what to call it. We wanted to call it 'Hope' or something because het had de gevoel… Het is het einde van de film. En Jan kwam met deze… title. Hoe zeg je in Hollands? R: Ja, titel? De titel, ja. E: Wanneer we het eerst voor hem gespeeld hadden, zei hij: "Hey, get me the last 8 minutes of the movie." Ja, en de editor kwam met de laatste zeker acht minuten van de film. En… you push play on the tape machine and the film, and boom, it just worked! De verwachtingen rond 'Twister' zijn hoog gespannen. Volgende week gaat de film in Amerika in première en dan weten we of Jan de Bont na 'Speed' opnieuw een hit heeft. In Nederland zullen we nog even moeten wachten om te kijken en te luisteren naar het resultaat van de samenwerking tussen Van Halen en Jan de Bont. 'Twister' gaat hier in september in première.

If you look at the house here behind me, you might think: that must be where the President lives. Well, that is not the case. Alex and Eddie van Halen live here. [He then explains the difference between the Dutch and English pronunciation of Van Halen.] Van Halen. A hard rock band. They've made music for the new movie 'Twister.' This film is directed by Jan de Bont, which of course gives me an excuse to go talk with them for a while. Eddie and Alex van Halen have made it big. Their band Van Halen has been a success for 20 years. 60 million records sold. Their dream house in the hills of Los Angeles with their own built-in studio is the result of their success. In this studio they have written two songs for Jan de Bont's 'Twister.' Two Dutch guys from Nijmegen who became world famous in America. René: I can't believe it: when you two were eight [more accurately, Eddie was seven and Alex was ten], you left the Netherlands, and yet you can still understand and speak Dutch. Eddie: Yeah, we talk almost every day with mom. She lives five minutes from here. And we speak Dutch. Because the walls have ears. R: But do you still *feel* Dutch? E: Of course! Alex: You can live where you want, you can have a passport from every country in the world, but you can't change where you were born. And I think the first five or six years of your life, that's really… E: That's really important. And you remember. You don't forget it, you know? R: Look, as musicians of course, you have gone back to the Netherlands often, but what childhood memories of the Netherlands do you have yourselves? A: Tony Mom. Tony Mom was my best friend. And Jeroen, he was the closest, 'cause his father had a car. E: Yeah, and he played drums too. A: No, that was someone else, that was… E: Okay. Who was that? A: Uh, what *was* his name? E: This is the first time that we've actually written music for a film, OK? We're all Jan de Bont fans. And our manager had called us and asked if we wanted to see the movie. And after we saw the movie, it's actually the first time that we… They've used Van Halen music in other movies before, but that was music we had already written. This is the first time that we ever [stopped and thought: Why not?] R: What was funny was that Jan de Bont didn't even know that you were Dutch, right? E: No, I didn't know he was either. R: And you didn't know that Jan de Bont… E: I sat next to him watching the film and I said… A: And he started singing "Meisjes met rode haren" ["Girls with red hair"] and he sang along. R: Meisjes met rode haren? E: Yeah. But I asked him, "Where are you from?" And he said, "I'm from the Netherlands." And I was like, "Shit! So are we!" I had no idea, 'cause he didn't have an accent. R: Whoever composed that "Meisjes met rode haren" in the Netherlands, I'll insert a clip of them into the video here. But, and so you knew him from 'Speed' of course. E: Yeah, yeah. A: His name, yeah. R: Yeah, yeah. But you never realized that he was from the Netherlands. A: No. E: I had no idea. A: De Bont, that's uh, that sounds more French. In the studio he wrote their biggest hits. Let's take a moment to enjoy their music for 'Twister.' A: It's the 'Rock Song'… for the movie. R: OK. E: The "mellow song." E: We watched the film once, and then we went home and I said, oh okay, I have an idea. Alex had an idea, and together we had something. R: I understand from Jan that you made a song, but also music for, uh… E: At first they wanted us to write one song for the movie, but then Alex had written a piece of music which is now the end of the film. And so yeah, you work on it and you think about it and you remember what the film is about and before you know it, you have something. A: The music kind of fits with the thing of a tornado. It's always quiet before the storm comes, you know. So the music kinda goes up and down like this. R: And do you know which scene this is going to be used in? A: What? R: Do you know which scenes this is going to be used in? Or is this the song at the end titles? A: No, this is… E: No no no. A: This is during the movie. R: So you know what scenes…? E: This is for the… A: Listen to the sounds. Hear the sounds? It sounds like the lightning and the tornado coming. R: Right. E: This is 'Twister.' R: Yeah, ok. E: This is where they're chasing a tornado. R: Oh right, yeah. Is the song called 'Twister?' E: No no, it's called 'Humans Being.' R: Humans Being. E: Yeah. If you listen, it sounds like a tornado. R: Ah, yeah. Yeah, but this sound, I mean, you recognize the Van Halen, I mean it's… E: Yeah, yeah, yeah. A: There's no way gettin' around that. R: No, right. E: Jan de Bont named this song himself: Respect the Wind. A: Yeah, just go forward. R: Respect the Wind. E: Yeah. See, we didn't know what to call it. We wanted to call it 'Hope' or something because it had the feeling… It's the end of the movie. And Jan came up with this… title? How do you say that in Dutch? R: Yeah, titel? De titel, yeah. E: When we first played it for him, he said, "Hey, get me the last 8 minutes of the movie." Yeah, and the editor came with the final cut of the last 8 minutes of the movie. And… you push play on the tape machine and the film, and boom, it just worked! There are high expectations surrounding the release of 'Twister.' The movie premiers next week in America, and then we'll know whether Jan de Bont has another hit on his hands following 'Speed.' In the Netherlands we'll still have to wait a while to see and listen to the result of the collaboration between Van Halen and Jan de Bont. 'Twister' premiers here in September.
