Right. But French, Spanish and Italian are Romance Languages and thus easier to learn the other 2 after you have the basis of one.

Dutch isn't. Trust me, after growing up next door to Dutch speakers, learning almost any other language is easier. Dutch is sort of fun though. You usually can learn some key words so you can mutter under your breath at people without them knowing it.
