Life loses all of its meaning when we stop learning. Because without learning, we can’t grow in life. And the absence of growth means death. When we decide that there is no more knowledge for us to acquire, we are giving up on all the beautiful cultures and languages of the world. We give up on the chance to be able to understand people who don’t share the same nationality with us. But what’s the point of living on a planet with seven billion people if you don’t try a little to get to know them? By getting to know each other, there are a lot of prejudices that we will be ready to discard.
The Dutch Language – Official Language of Netherlands:
The closest relative of English and German is the official language of the Netherlands. It is spoken by almost twenty-four million people natively. It is not limited to the Netherlands but is also one of the official languages in Belgium. You can find its native speakers in the Caribbean and South America. There is also a daughter language of Dutch, which is known as Afrikaans and is spoken in South Africa. Although it isn’t quite similar to English or German, it does share a few features with both of them. Interestingly, it also has some similarities in its vocabulary with Scandinavian languages.
