    Native English speaker here, but spoke French with my father’s family about 1/2 the time: I can read and pronounce Dutch well enough that my Dutch friends understand what I’m saying (we’ve laughed about it a few times when I was unaware of a few of the weird dipthongs they have). I can’t understand nearly anything I’m saying or reading.
