Fair warning: people still talk Dutch at the coffee machine at work. You will still miss out on a lot of social communication. But when you decide to go and learn Dutch, it gets really hard to get practise in, since everyone switches to English if you start talking to them. Even if you started talking Dutch, your accent will give away that you are more fluent in English, and people will just switch.

What if you keep trying your dutch, even when you're addressed in english ?
