After becoming decently proficient in Afrikaans I only thought it natural to switch to high Dutch because there are more learning resources for it, and speakers. Diversity is our strength after all.
I'm finding it *extremely* easy to learn, easier than Afrikaans. Where as Afrikaans felt like a mixture of Dutch / French / and German vocab with non Germanic grammar; High Dutch feels like a mixture of Dutch and English vocabulary with directly Germanic grammar.
Now, I've had a few different people say that if Dutch isn't a first language for you, they will switch right over to English for the rest of the conversation, even if it's very good, much like Parisians with tourists.
>Is this true, Dutch bros? >If so, Why? Are NLs cucks who want to speak (((English))) because it's racist not to? >Where can a Dutch learner go for free content / speakers / forums? This is the most important to me.
>TL;DR, I'm finding video & forum content difficult to find, I think possibly because of NL cuck culture, I could be completely incorrect, but it's looking that way.

Hello,
The youth mainly is starting to speak horrible English. The youth is connected with the internet on a young age and learn quickly. Dutch is bjeutiful if you study it well. But I hope Dutch will never die.

Don't only look into our language but look into our history as well, we have traditionally always been traders or merchants. We'll adapt and learn your language if that means we can sell you shit.
People do switch over to English because they'll think you prefer that.. simply ask them not too, that's it.
