I have a Dutch friend who speaks English (0) BEAUTIFULLY. I have
always wondered how the Dutch manage to learn languages so (1) … . SUCCESSFULLY. The Dutch, like the Germans, often speak English (2) … BETTER than some native speakers or at least they seem to speak the language more (3) … CORRECTLY than some English people. If you want to speak English (4) … FLUENTLY with a reasonable accent, you should listen to tapes as frequently as possible. There are no magic solutions but you (5) … SIMPLY have to work hard at the new language.
