You know, it's funny, I can understand A LOT of German as an Englisch Sprecher, like enough to understand what's being written, but I just don't get anything from dutch. Allegedly Dutch is much closer to English, but I don't understand any of it.

I've picked up a lot of German b/c every other word seems to be either identical to the English version, or 'make sense'. I don't know why, it just feels right
