Dutch is like german with less rules but more exceptions, and also more vowels.
Flemish is like dutch without the throat cancer.
It’s impossible to show the beauty of the Dutch language when we’re talking in English. Time to make it one of the official languages of this subreddit.
It’s also called swamp German
Dutch and German is unsophisticated Flemmish.
ik spreeke duits also spreeke ik och nederlands. meen hous hat groene fensters.

Dutch sounds like a drunk irish dude trying to speak german with a danish accent.

Since they owned Indonesia, they’ve been on a bit of a high. Let them have it. If swiss is considered german, so can be dutch.
Yes. And I’m tired of pretending it’s not.

Dutch is just English on hard drugs
That would be the nicest thing anyone ever said about Dutch.
it is like I have been taking acid. He is using the same sounds, the same facial expressions and body language, the same intonation. I mean, I can understand he is telling some kind of a funny story and could communicate back with grunts and laughs, and he wouldn’t know I hadn’t scooby doo what he was talking about. I can only work out about 20% of the words he is using. I don’t think it would take me long to learn his language. It is like he is speaking English with a really strong accent.
It is the other way around though. The English are speaking Frisian with a really strong accent.
My Dutch roommate said Dutch is just regarded German
Dutch is when a drunk German tries to speak English
Dutch is Diet Coke German

Dutch is what you get when a German tries to talk with an advanced brain tumour.

The Netherlands are just a state that never aligned with the great Germany
