  • I’d like to add that it may also be a good idea to find Dutch media you actually like. Not to say you can’t like childrens’ literature, of course, but I learnt German in part because liked German (classical) music and movies, and it motivated me to want to understand what was actually said. So I started translating German songs into Dutch and watching German movies with Dutch subtitles. I also started following a German YouTuber’s let’s plays of historical games - when I started my German comprehension wasn’t very good, but it quickly improved.

    When it comes to suggestions, maybe look around on Spotify or some other music streamer to find something you like.

    My favourite Dutch movies are Max Havelaar (1976) and Soldaat van Oranje (1977). Admittedly, I don’t watch many movies.

    I’d love German becoming the lingua franca and official language. I much prefer it over English.

    But, oh well. It’s not like a lingua franca can be decided upon. It just ends up becoming one (due to necessity and the power of its speakers). There’s really no reason any other language would take over from English at the moment.
