Biggest challenges for Dutch speakers learning English
If you know what’s hard in advance, you can learn faster. These are the main things that slow down Dutch speakers when they learn English.
- •Dutch and English share Germanic roots but have different verb placement rules
- •Dutch has two grammatical genders — English has none
- •False friends between Dutch and English are extremely common
- •Dutch has sounds that do not exist in English — particularly the guttural G
Focus on one challenge at a time. Small daily practice beats long study sessions.
