Introduction

Germanic language family

similarities with German and English

Key features

• Vocabulary: Dutch vocabulary is quite similar to German and has many words that look or sound similar to English words. For example, "water" is "water" in Dutch, and "school" is "school".
• Pronunciation: Dutch pronunciation might be a bit challenging at first. It includes some sounds that are not present in Spanish.
• Grammar: Dutch grammar is known for its use of gender and cases, although it's simpler than in German. There are two genders in Dutch (common and neuter), and the word order can change depending on the sentence structure, much like in Spanish.

Fun fact

• Dutch is known for its long compound words. They create new words by simply adding words together, which can be fun and interesting. For example, "fietspad" means "bicycle path".

Why learn Dutch?

• Nederlands leren kan een geweldige manier zijn om je taalvaardigheden uit te breiden, meer te begrijpen over de Nederlandse cultuur en contact te leggen met Nederlandstaligen. Het is ook handig als je van plan bent om Nederland te bezoeken of er te studeren.

Practice

• You and your exchange partner are a duo.
• The Dutch student starts speaking slowly in Dutch for two minutes about hobbies, food, music, films or sports.
• The Spanish student writes down all the words the thinks he understands. 
• After the talking, you check together if the words were correctly understood and written.
