Is Dutch hard to learn?
No, for English speakers, Dutch is considered one of the more accessible languages to learn. It positions itself between English and German, with many words having similar roots and meanings. The one problematic area is that there are over 200 irregular verb forms in the Dutch language, which is why having a personalized tutor to guide you is recommended.
Is Dutch worthwhile to learn?
Yes, learning a second language, especially one anchored between English and German, will give you a lot of flexibility if you plan to travel throughout Western Europe. Additionally, learning a language strengthens concentration and memory, sharpens focus, enhances decision-making, and makes you more aware of other cultures and people.
