Well, I guess some people will understand what you say if you speak _very_ slowly… But a lot of people in Holland actually have German as their second language instead of French, like in Belgium. I was in France once, talking to my brother in Dutch. Some French guy that was there asked me “Etes-vous Allemand?” (= Are you German?). It’s similar in sound and a lot of words are the same.

Like:

Dutch: auto ; German: Auto (= car)  
Dutch: venster ; German: Fenster (= window)  
Dutch: muziek ; German: Musik (= music)  
etc…etc…

Of course there are words that don’t sound the same _at all_:

Dutch: zakdoek ; German: Taschentuch (= nose rag - tissue)  
Dutch: stadhuis ; German: Rathaus (= town hall)  
Dutch: onmiddellijk ; German: unmittelbar (= immediately)  
Dutch: trein ; German: Zug (= train)  
etc…etc…

I think it’s easier to go from German to Dutch than vice versa. Dutch is like German with a French and English something in it. 🙂
