The Dutch are famous for being pragmatic and preferring a direct style of communication, at the same time as favoring modesty, and this is reflected in their language. With its rich culture, Dutch is also the language of the Dutch Masters such as Rembrandt and Vermeer and Fran Hals, as well as the ever-popular Van Gogh.

Learning Dutch is een goed idee (good idea) as it’s easy to learn. Spoken by more than 23 million native speakers in the Netherlands and in Belgium, as well as in Suriname in South America, it also opens the door to Afrikaans. Nearly 90-95% of Afrikaans vocabulary is of Dutch origin! Did you know that Dutch shares over half of its vocabulary with English? Dutch is a germanic language just like English. For native English speakers, Dutch will be one of the simplest languages to learn. Nearly one-third of this language is borrowed from another language. You will find Dutch even easier if you already know German or Afrikaans, which is directly related to Dutch.

There are 28 million Dutch speakers around the world, 22 million of those are native speakers. This melodic language is spoken all over the world and is the official language of the Netherlands and the northern part of Belgium, Flanders. Dutch is also the national language of many beautiful islands like Aruba and the Dutch Antilles.
