The use of the Dutch second-person pronouns, jij/je and u (and plural jullie), poses a number of problems for learners whose mother tongue is English. This article reviews some of the research into the present-day use of these pronouns and presents the results of a survey among a number of students of Dutch at British universities. It demonstrates how students' grasp of the system improves over the years, but also where there are particular difficulties for advanced learners and native speakers of Dutch alike
