Although it may sound like a strange idea, the fact is you will have much better if you simply start loving Dutch. Sure, "loving Dutch" may be easier said than done.
Luckily there is one trick that can help. The most common reason for not liking Dutch is that the learning process is slow or you feel you cannot master it.
But guess what? Once you start to learn more quickly, and once you discover that Dutch is actually a very consistent and funny language, then chances are high that you will not find it too difficult to love. Believe it or not, boosting your Dutch vocabulary is really easy.

Now, contrary to what you may believe, your understanding does have to not stop here. With just the word schatyou are immediately able to learn many more words by yourself. For example, what do you think Dutch people mean by schat? What is it that they are really saying? You might know the word's other meaning, "dear. So now you are literally dear, with the same value as gold, silver and diamonds.
What is the first thing a Dutch person does if he discovers een schat?

This is what many people do when they think about the difficulty of the Dutch language: they always overschatten it, i. Unfortunately, when it comes to their own talent for learning, many people like to onderschatten it, and therefore often "underestimate" themselves.
Is it easy for you to see that woorden means "words" in Dutch? Then now it should not be difficult to guess what woordenschat means. Yes, "vocabulary! It is literally a "treasure of words. So what do you think? We started with schatthe Dutch word for "darling" and without too much effort we turned it into six words.
