I hope and wish I could say this in the future too.

Yeah, but they very very easily find out if you dont speak dutch. The "Where are you from" is typically in the first five minutes. Ah, Eastern Europe? Nevermind then.

Learning the local language is a social contact booster. Even if one manages only to engage in clumsy basic conversation, getting around in the community changes.

You sure about this? I don't think so. I know far too many girls that fell in love with strange strangers of different country origin, that could barely say "hello" in our native language.

jancumps:
What I was trying to say is that speaking the language opens social doors. I didn’t try to imply that not speaking it is blocking one to socialise and meet people.

Yansi:
I think that being a stranger in "the correct way" is the booster.  The other girl I know just started dating a stranger because he had blue hair and was looking at her in a pub. (or so was I told about it).

But me being stranger myself (in not the correct way), I find females hard to understand.
