File:details ico...  more detailsDutch documentcastPlease note.
Dutch is the common language Languages ​​such as Limburgh separate into regional dialects. The Dutch language is very different from region to region.

The main foreign languages ​​are English, French and German . The Dutch government encourages people to study English and foreign languages. The Netherlands, along with Western Europe and Northern European countries, is interested in language education and invests in language education. It publishes large amounts of foreign language education books such as German, Italian, Portuguese, and Russian, such as English, Spanish, and French. Dutch people often study foreign languages ​​as a hobby, because ordinary people are cheap.

English conversation is fluent, and in Europe, English -speaking rates are 90%in the second language among European Union countries such as Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Switzerland and Austria. Under the EF EPI of the English Proficiency Evaluation, the Dutch English ability was measured first and second with Sweden. This is due to the fact that Dutch is a germanist like English, so it is easy to learn and the high -level public education in the Netherlands.[13] It is a place where tourists can travel without worrying about language.

English conversation education is also the world's highest level, learning English since elementary school, and all students use English in English classes. Even if tourists ask elementary school students on the roadside, they can hear fluent answers. Dutch students take it for granted only English in English classes, and the educational system is well done so that the classes that only need to be discussed in English can be used naturally with foreign tourists in everyday life.

French, German, and Spanish also provide opportunities to learn from public education.[14] Strange students are common. It is common to talk freely with the Dutch, the British, the French, the Belgian, and the Germans.

The Netherlands can specify official language other than the Dutch language. One of them is a unique language used in the Freslands and the official language of the Fresland, which is somewhat different from the Dutch language . There are many Dutch people with English names.

6. geography

File:attachment/...

It has a total area of ​​41,543㎢ and borders Belgium and Germany . However, the national land area of ​​41,543㎢ is actually 20% of which is uninhabitable lakes and rivers, and the actual land area is 33,481㎢, which is slightly larger than neighboring Belgium. Among them, 7,000㎢ is land obtained through reclamation . Meanwhile, 25% of the country is below sea level.[15] It is a country famous for being the lowest land in the world, and the name Netherlands itself means ‘low lands’. Even the highest point in the country is only 321 meters above sea level.[16]

In addition, after a catastrophic flood in 1953 in which 1,835 people died, a national flood response project called the Delta Program was launched to build large-scale dams and embankments and expand pumping facilities to discharge the rising water, thereby preventing heavy rains in Germany and Benelux in 2021. There were no deaths.

Not only is the canal above ground, but there is even a bridge over the Veluwemeer Aqueduct that allows water to pass over the road. There are not many places with thick forests. As of 2002, only about 10% of the country is forest, and this is the result of artificial forest cultivation. Recently, Utrecht Province,[17] In Helderland , you can see quite a bit of lush flatland forest.

The border of Belgium is famous for Baarle, a very complex menstruation . In addition, on December 30, 2015, both sides of the Netherlands agreed to exchange territories, and this area was 15 soccer fields around the Mews River , and it was a Belgian land, but it was not accessible by Belgium, but it could only go to the ship.[18] The Netherlands, on the other hand, was able to go comfortably by land. As a result, the Belgian police were inadequate due to the lack of access to the mainland, but even after the discovery of the cutting body in 2012, the investigation was difficult to go to this place, and when the investigation was sluggish, it was decided to receive the land around the gap that controlled the river level instead of concessions to the Netherlands. It is said to have been solved in the second century. #Both both belong to the European Union and the Schengen Agreement , so they can enter and go without a passport.

Like the Western European country, it represents a typical Western coastal maritime climate . The average annual temperature is around 10 ℃, the average temperature of winter is 1 ℃ ~ 4 ℃, and the summer is 17 ℃ ~ 19 ℃.

Because there is a lot of flat land throughout the country, single-family homes and townhouses are common and well developed even though the territory is small. It usually consists of a series of similar-looking buildings, and even in large cities except Amsterdam , if you leave the city center, you can commonly see single-family homes with small gardens and apartment complexes with less than five floors.

The representative symbol of the Netherlands is the windmill , which has been used since ancient times as a mill to grind grain using the abundant wind power of the Netherlands, or as a drainage wheel to remove seawater from reclaimed land . If you go to Zaanse Schans, north of Amsterdam , or Kinderdijk, near Rotterdam , you can see windmills lined with green fields and spinning. Some windmills even allow you to go inside and see the structure.

In the process of independence of the colonies that were much larger than the previous ones, many colonies were immigrated.[19] Indonesian Dutch people were often mixed with the Dutch before they came to the Netherlands. In the case of the Surgin South Dutch, there are many people who are difficult to distinguish racial, except for skin color, but the results of complex mixed race between the South Indians, the Indonesians, the blacks and the native Americans and the Chinese. Considering the Dutch national soccer team, it is quick to understand. Of course, there are some Dutch black population , including Surinnam . Today, many immigrants are introduced from Turkiye and the Middle East.
