zketcher z well if that’s true it’s because Johnny Cash was well into his career. Hurt was one of Cash’s last projects. Trent Reznor gets asked to write lyrics or sample his songs constantly. He doesn’t go and physically meet with all of them. He probably just signs a release it something.

aeronautisch The accents are nowhere close to each other, the Dutch speak way better English than the Danish speak.

[@aeronautisch]

Niko Bellic have you ever watched videos of Danish people being interviewed in English and then Dutch people being interviewed in English? I’d say the accents sound almost the same. As for the Dutch being more fluent in English than the Danish, is that true? I mean I know for a fact myself that we’re being teached how to speak English at a young age, because it’s an important language. And my country has thrived on trading with foreigners for centuries and still do to this day. Must be different in Denmark then.

[@MrNikoBellic123]

aeronautisch I live in Denmark now, have a messed up background country wise, in short; I'm 1/2 American 1/4 Danish 1/4 African and lived in the UK for 11 years. Anyway, I'm no stranger to knowing plenty of Danes, but I've also come across a fair share of Dutch people. In my opinion, their accents are far less noticeable. I also think that they intellectually bring more to the table when speaking English. Just my 2 cents though.
