Fascinating Dutch Language Facts
Discover what makes Dutch unique and why millions around the world are learning this Germanic language.
Dutch is the closest major language to English, sharing more vocabulary and grammar similarities than German or any Scandinavian language. This linguistic kinship means English speakers often recognize Dutch words intuitively.
The Dutch word 'gezellig' has no direct English translation. It describes a uniquely Dutch feeling of cozy togetherness, warmth, and belonging—a concept central to Dutch culture and daily life.
Dutch influenced many English words you use daily. 'Cookie' comes from Dutch 'koekje,' 'boss' from 'baas,' and 'landscape' from 'landschap.' Learning Dutch often feels like reconnecting with familiar roots.
The Netherlands has the highest English proficiency of any non-native country, yet Dutch remains essential for deeper cultural connection. Understanding Dutch opens doors that English alone cannot.
Dutch uses unique letter combinations like 'ij' (considered a single letter) and the famous guttural 'g' sound. Mastering these distinctive sounds through listening practice gives you authentic Dutch pronunciation.
