How Hard Is It to Learn Dutch?

Dutch is a peculiar language. A fair few people seem to think it sounds like a mix of English and German muddled together. That’s is probably not a surprise, since Dutch does belong to the same, West Germanic, language group as both English and German. That also means that if you have previous experience with learning either of those languages (and you reading this blog post in English suggests you do), you’ll find at least something familiar in Dutch.
