I've never studied Dutch in my life but I must say that as an English speaker if I read a paragraph or two in Dutch, I can sort of understand bits of what is being said. Though if I hear Dutch, I have utterly no idea.
Although dutch people dont like to be reminded of that. They use to be a part of Germany and Dutch is pritty much a German accent.
