Brit beats a Dutchie in Different Language Shocker!
EDIT quite pleased about that since I do pride myself on knowing at least a basic bit of lingo in most contries that I visit. The fact that pretty much every other European nation has their mother tongue, a good couple of other European languages, and generally English as standard is beside the point.

in my experience
knowing at least the bare minimum of the language of whatever country you're visiting goes a long way and is appreciated

Absolutely.
"please", "thank you", "two beers", "cheers", and "do you speak English" in the actual language will see you a long way.

good to see you're aware of knowing to ask for 2 beers, not one ;)
