Now there is an offer that does not come along very often, Andrew.
The Netherlands (note that I do not say Holland ;)) is a great place to 
work and live. I found the people friendly, helpful and straightforward. 
I don’t think that there would be a problem with the language as I did 
not meet anyone who could not speak a little English (and French or 
German), most of the ones I met were fluent in English.
I would have jumped at the chance when I was your age and unattached.
