Learn English like a Dutchman and end up with a really confused British/American hybrid accent... ;-)

Seriously, subtitles are the main reason most Dutch people speak English, traditional education has very little to do with.

Thus, what tv would you recommend to learn Dutch? ;)

I had a discussion with someone about learning Dutch, as I know many foreigners there who learn to understand it but never speak it as they get spoken back to in English. One suggestion put up was that the Dutch never get people speaking their language badly the way that English speakers do, and so revert to English rather than hear their native language mangled!
