Learning Dutch is worthwhile. Whatever you are planning, Dutch opens up an array of new opportunities to you.
Knowing the language of your Dutch business partners improves your relations and therefore your chances for effective communication and success. The Benelux Union (the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg) has a combined GDP which is equivalent to Spain’s or South Korea’s. The Benelux Union is France’s second business partner, closely tailing Germany. In the UK, Dutch is consistently ranked as one of the top five languages most frequently requested by UK employers. Most Dutch speakers can also speak English, but if you want to live and work in the Netherlands, it is easier to understand Dutch culture if you learn the local language.
Knowledge of Dutch increases your internship and job opportunities with Dutch and foreign companies both in your own country and abroad. Some of the world most renowned multinational companies are Dutch or are headquartered in the Netherlands (Philips, Shell, ING Group, Heineken, Aegon, IKEA, Cisco Systems, Booking.com). The Netherlands is particularly attractive to businesses thanks to its strategic location, highly-developed telecom and transport infrastructure, superior agri-food, life-sciences, chemical, maritime and IT industries. Moreover, the efficient logistics and distribution operations are consistently attracting foreign-owned companies to the country.
Dutch is one of the most commonly used scientific languages. Fueled by world-class research institutes, supportive R&D tax credits and a number of strategic partnerships between science, industry and government, the Netherlands is a hub for R&D and hence innovation. The Netherlands ranks second on the 2018 Global Innovation Index (GII). Proficiency in Dutch is therefore another way of keeping up with one of the most innovative economies in the world.
Learning Dutch provides you with an insight into the way of life and the hopes and dreams of Dutch speakers, thus broadening your horizon. You’ll connect with your Dutch friends and future colleagues on a much deeper level, and will appreciate and understand the culture around you to a much greater extent.
The Netherlands awards a generous number of scholarships and other forms of support to study in Dutch higher-education institutions. While many bachelor programs are accessible in English, superior mastery of Dutch remains indispensable to enroll in the most competitive and cutting-edge university programs at Master or PhD levels.
Dutch is a comparatively easy language for English speakers to learn because it’s one of the closest living relatives to English. They’re like old friends: both are West Germanic languages, meaning that from a structural point of view even a complete beginner can unravel simple Dutch sentences with much greater ease than Polish or Spanish sentences.
