I checked the big lemmy list. Apparently lots of people want to learn Thai. But I didn’t see a community like “learndutch”. Learndutch is subreddit where people learning Dutch can ask questions about words, grammar, and phrases they’re having trouble with.

Feddit.nl seems like the obvious place to host such a community.

Dank je wel!

      I’m willing to do that, but I would have to use Google translate to moderate. Which might be OK? Been studying Dutch lightly for 3 years and more intensely (hour a day) for the last 6 months.

        It looks like you’re asking permission to open a community, I don’t think you have to do that:) I think as long your community follows the rules stated in the sidebar of this server you can just go ahead and create it. If it’s a community to learn Dutch I am sure no one will mind if the moderator is still learning Dutch and if they do that’s their problem:)

      Interesting. The article says that Dutch doesn’t make a person’s heart flutter. I don’t think English makes anyone’s heart flutter either, and it’s arguably the most popular language in the world.

      What Dutch has going for it is that is probably the closest to English of all the natural languages. So if you want to check off “bilingual” on your bucket list, it’s a good candidate.
