Nah, a lot of Dutch and Danish words are a lot alike, so I just looked at it until it made sense...

Take a look, and see how much the Dutch and Danish words look alike:

Dutch: ik kom uit de provintie van Namen.
Danish: Jeg kommer fra provinsen van Namen

Dutch: ik hab 8 jaar Nederlands onderwijs in de school .
Danish: Jeg har (haft) 8 aars undervisning i hollandsk (or nederlandsk) i skolen.

Dutch: Maar nu kan ik niet meer spreken...
Danish: Men nu kan jeg ikke sproget mere (or - Men nu kan jeg ikke tale det mere)

Dutch: ik heb de woordenschat vergeten...
Danish: Jeg har glemt ordforrådet

Dutch: ik begriip toch
Danish: Jeg begriber det dog (this one is pretty stretched!)



To Danes, Dutch sounds pretty much like a mix between Danish, German and English. Danish kids learn English in school from 4th grade, and German from 7th, I think, so in theory, a mix of these languages, shouldn´t be too hard to learn...
Note that I said in theory, coz there must be a reason why linguists have rated Dutch as the hardest language to learn in the world! The 2nd hardest is a dialect of Han-Chinese, and the 3rd is, *b-dum-tschijj*, Danish!

the too are similar indeed. My grandmother's from Denmark (which makes me 1/4-Danish ) and she learned Dutch (more dialect form actually, 'Ghentish' (if that's even a word)) very quickly.
Welcome to the board, mate
