There's quite a lot of differences between German and Dutch, the biggest being the use of cases in German, in Dutch, cases are only used in some old statements.
Dutch is my native tongue and I find it very hard to speak/write German properly. Altough some words are almost the same, and the construction of phrases is very similar. I have less problems with English and French combined than with German :p.
