The large majority of Dutch speak English quite well. And the Dutch have a thing for the American west.

The second language that people speak in these instances where people forget their native language and speak in a foreign tongue are always known by the people prior to their injury.

(Nobody wakes up with fluency in a foreign language that they never knew.)

Betty Andreasson spoke Gaelic under hypnosis. She had never learned it, or even heard it before she listened to the playback.
