And written Dutch in 20's does have the German-like cases! So if you want to read a Huizinga, that'd help. Edited by minus273 on 23 July 2010 at 1:59pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I´m a non-native German speaker, who speaks German at a pretty advanced level (I have studied at a bilingual Slovak-German high school) and I personally can understand the general idea of a Dutch text, but the understanding is far from perfect. From my experience native German speakers seemed to understand the Dutch better than me though. I agree that Dutch is somewhat of a bridge between German and English- to me the Dutch vocabulary sounds closer to German and the pronunciation closer to English.
