Dutch is basically the same as English, there's barely a difference really.

Huh?

[Chyros]

The vocab is almost identical and the grammar is very similar. I don't understand why Brits have so much difficulty with other languages.

I think what most native English speakers struggle with is all the sounds of the Continental European languages that sound like you have either a
- potato (Danish)
- Tulip bulb (Dutch)
- half a bratwurst (German)
- baguette (French)
in your throat

Or alternatively, they're just complete nonsense like Finnish


That said, strangely I am ok with the Swiss German sounds which are generally more complicated than the North German/Dutch style ones which are a bit shorter but more gutteral

I think it really is something you need to develop as a kid to some extent, otherwise it's hard to change your vocal cords when you're older.


Of course, there's also a lot of ignorance etc with many Anglo people too (i.e. the fuckwits voting leave while they live in Benidorm )

French is the worst. Half of the letters randomly disappear while spelling, crazy gibberish!
