I’ve never been out of the country so I have to imagine what it’s like by going to places like Chinatown or Holland Michigan. I went to Holland a few times back when I lived in Grand Rapids. Saw the tulip festival and hung out on the lake. It’s interesting to be on a lake that fills your field of view like that and becomes indistinguishable from the ocean.
I put this strip on my locker at school and someone stole it!
I know German and I’ve read Dutch and there are similarities but not much. Guess Biff didn’t get the message…

Tiptoe through the window
By the window, that is where I’ll be
Come tiptoe through the tulips with me
Dutch and German are not the same language. I am German and know what I’m talking about, because I heardly understand when dutch people are talking. Maybe while reading I can recognize some words but not all. The same for dutch people.
Aber mir persönlich ist es lieber, wenn er eine Windmühle auf dem Kopf hat, als wenn er da in Lederhosen und Tracht säße, denn das hat mit Deutschland gar nichts zu tun ;D
I can only agree with Anne.
Even though a german person can read a bit of dutch and vice versa, it´s not the same language.
And as it was mentioned earlier that Finnish isn´t that hard to learn, I can add the same for Hungarian, which uses a similar grammar of attaching syllables at the end of a word instead of a preposition.
And Anne?
oooh jaaa. Bayern ist und bleibt ein Freistaat, oder
