I found English to be relatively easy to learn, (much more so than French), because it's a more "intuitive" language.

Well, it's intuitive to you, as Dutch and English are fairly closely related. I imagine that the Italians out there would find French easier.

However, what I meant was, are Dutch speakers, on the whole, as poor at using Dutch as Americans are at using English? And so on for the French and French, Spaniards and Spanish, etc. I don't even have a good feel for how well the British are at speaking English. TV is my only largesource of information there, and that's hardly a good sample.
