I just enrolled on a basic Dutch course... Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

...at my university. Has anyone else here studied Dutch as a foreign language? What kind of difficulties should I expect (taking into account that I already know German)? How would you characterize the differences between Dutch, Flemish and Afrikaans?

If you already know English and German, you should find Dutch easy. Whatever Swedish you recall from school might prove useful too.

My gf is learning dutch atm, as some of my extended family aren't great at english. Written she's probably at a similar level as an A=level student in french/german after 6 months, speaking maybe GCSE as she's not very confident in it yes. She does mix in a lot of german, but she described dutch as german for english people.

Why bother? From what I heard, the Dutch will not use their language with you if they know that you can use English - many Dutch speak English well and they cannot stand hearing a foreigner mangling up their precious language.

Nevertheless, go for it - it's always excellent learning a new language.

Tired of ads?

Most important if you want to understand Flemish:

jij bent (Dutch) = ge zijt (Flemish)
