Like the Vagman I too like to learn a bit of the lingo when I travel
I was in The Netherlands and I attempted to order some beer in Dutch
the barman said in that Sean Connery way the Dutch have "It's okay I can speak your language perfectly well, please stop murdering mine"

Chatting to some lovely fellows in Amsterdam,
my very stoned friend kept asking "what is the Dutch for ??" questions.
The guys were very patient, until my friend declared "I really wanna learn Dutch properly!"
They all just shook their heads quizzically, and one asked "Seriously, why? You've won the language lottery already... Only we even speak it, and we all speak English aswell. Learning Dutch would just be a massive waste of everyones time!"
