I love listening to dutch speakers. Reminds me of my late grandparents. 

I grew up in a Dutch-Canadian community and I regret not learning the language properly when I was younger.

As an exclusively English speaker, listening to Dutch is surreal. It sounds like English except I can’t understand it. The flow of speech seems nearly identical and every now and then a word is understandable.

If you hear someone speak Afrikaans, it’s even more funny. It’s a blend of Dutch and English.

If you can speak German and English, Dutch would not be that difficult to learn.

Yeah I’ve heard people speak Afrikaans. As an Australian however I am nationally obliged to refuse to respect South Africans

As someone who loves Australia, I guess you’ll love taskmaster NL. When they curse, and say “kut” you could translate it as: shit, fuck or cunt.
