I agree. English is rather easy to get started in & on, but it gets progressively harder to really understand. Just conversing with some people on 'ordinary' subjects is not so hard, but when handling somewhat more intricate things you have to try harder.

The same is true - to a certain extent - of all other languages; it's relatively easy to acquire some basic language skills and be able to make oneself understood. But to be able to appreciate just about every utterance in some language, let alone understand it in full...

Does anyone know what constitutes a 'normal' (if there even is such a thing ) vocabulary for, let's say, English and Dutch?
