What can I say... I read a lot in English so some of that rubs off on a person. Also, tv shows and films are not dubbed in the Netherlands, but always subtitled (Dubs are simply not available - except for children's shows and movies.) so I guess that helps too - although the subtitles can be pretty bad at times. (One from Star Trek Enterprise that was exceptionally hilarious: "Target the lead vessel." You know the word "lead" can indicate something that is in charge and something made of lead, right? Guess what option the subtitler went with...)
