Apparently not , I have seen English speakers, who can't speak Dutch, asked more than once to only respond in Dutch.quote:Op woensdag 10 september 2014 13:00 schreef Copthorne het volgende:

Know you, the problem is that you think that you very good English speak can, but in the practice it falls against.quote:Op woensdag 10 september 2014 13:00 schreef Copthorne het volgende:

But the funny thing is, not even native English speakers are so strict with people who can't speak properly English when it's not your first language, only foreigners are.quote:Op woensdag 10 september 2014 13:08 schreef Igen het volgende:

(Btw. I have an English-language-y MSc programme done, so I know indeed better.)
Ja, aber wir sind hier nicht in England. Statt English könnten wir genau so gut Deutsch sprechen, das würde genauso wenig Sinn machen. Und es geht nur ein Lehreffekt davon aus, wenn man gute Beispiele hat, so wie dieses hier. Wenn man sich nur den falschen Sprachgebrauch von anderen einprägt, dann entgeht mir der Zweck der Sache.quote:Op woensdag 10 september 2014 13:10 schreef snakelady het volgende:

Native English speakers just appreciate the effort and realize that communicating in a second or even third language is not always that easy.

I get that, but English is the first world language ( okay, next to Chinese Mandarin) and especially in the Netherlands it's a language that almost everyone understands.quote:Op woensdag 10 september 2014 13:13 schreef Igen het volgende:

The question, posed by the TS, is about the usage of English all the time. But while you are justified in stating that there is a wide-spread knowledge of the English language among the Dutch population, it is all but far from impeccable for a large portion of that population. Hence, if we would all use English henceforth, it would lead to the inculcation of deficient language use, which bears the risk of being counter-productive.quote:Op woensdag 10 september 2014 13:19 schreef snakelady het volgende:

I'm not saying i don't get it, i do, but i think it would be fun to also have some foreigners here.
Ellers snakker jeg bare dansk.

An all English speaking forum would be highly unnecessary, there is no use for that.quote:Op woensdag 10 september 2014 13:23 schreef Igen het volgende:

But totally banning English because it's a Dutch forum is a bit too strict if you ask me, it scares people who do not talk Dutch that well (but do want to learn) away, because when they do not yet speak the language fluently they get a lot of negative comments.
