I'm in the process of learning German so my mental shorthand way of thinking about Dutch is that it's basically German with extra As and Os.
Dutch is like a German describing to Englishman that he just took a bite of a very hot potato
Dutch is like if german and english had a baby together but when it was 10 english cheated with french and ran off
It's just Swamp German
It's really a mix of German and English words with some shifting in pronunciation. Once you know both languages, learning Dutch is quite easy. You will make out a lot of words pretty quickly.
