Im living for for month in Amsterdam now and dutch is still quite bad Realy hard becouse everybodys speaking english here you are never forced to speak dutch !

Dude ... your English sucks balls

ghahhahahah its quite funny alrite

I'm Dutch, but I deal with "international" people on a daily basis, so I thought...see if non-Dutch PF-ers experience the same as my colleagues .

Just a few pointers to learn Dutch (assuming that you live in our "wonderful" country:

1. Ask everyone within your environment to speak Dutch to you, even if you don't speak Dutch to them. As some of you already said, Dutchies can speak English all too well, so...

2. Watch more TV than you are used to. The Dutch television is very international oriented, meaning we have a lot of english/american shows, including Dutch subtitles. In this way, you can relate your native language to the Dutch words (this was my way of learning English as well ;

3. When you want to speak yourself, start using English and Dutch mixed. Example: I want a ham & cheese sandwich --> I want a ham & cheese broodje. In this way, you will slowly get familiar with very specific Dutch words.

Well, hope this helps a little bit...good luck!

Cheers.

ja thats a very good way of learn dutch and speak or say it slow to your self before you want to say it .. but the televisie is very handy also

Dutch isn't that hard if your Deutsch is good.

Agreed, But like i said earlier.. Speaking dutch is even harder then actually speaking english.




You fail, Dutch has nothing to do with german in any way neither english, lol.

Indeed; although some words are alike, the grammar is way different in German than it is in Dutch...I am Dutch, but suck at German

I disagree; because this is a language that is recognized as the world language, it will allow people to absorb this more easily than any other language...take a look at the tv and 8 out of 10 shows is in English...look at your own language and see how many English words already have been taken over...this is excluding eastern (chinese/japanese) languages of course .

In addition, if you learn English properly, it becomes a lot easier to learn languages like French and Spanish, because these are all Latin-based.

It's not so sure... Some poeple cant speak their mother languages...

About the topic: I've started to learn dutch a little bit (on my own at home, it's pretty pleasant ) and from my perspective it's really connected with German and English...
Some part of grammar are similar to German(not all of course but some structures- indeed) and some words similar to English...
But of course it's not the same. Dutch is very original language and even when it's fucking difficult for me to say some word- I like it It's going to be a challenge
