Why learn Dutch? ...if everybody speaks English in the Netherlands!

submitted by LinguaThor on 04/17/18 1

Why learn Dutch? What are the reasons to learn Dutch? Deal with the Dutch in English or in their own language? We asked the question to Dutch learners from different countries. If everybody speaks English in the Netherlands (and Belgium), why would you learn Dutch then? These Dutch language students (mainly expats in the Netherlands) answer that question... the reasons to learn Dutch (at least for them). Reasons these students mention: - the desire to integrate - the uncomfortable feeling when you're in a group with Dutch people and everybody speaks Dutch (and you can't understand anything) - the fear of speaking What do you think? Are there more reasons to learn Dutch, or perhaps NOT to learn Dutch? Video made by Bart de Pau and Nicolas Balbontin and the students of the BLC Dutch Winter School. Time to learn Dutch?
