racial discrimination

It obviously exists. In learning their language, you will find that there is no exact translation of the word allochtonen, which refers to the first generation of yellow people or black people who came to the Netherlands (by the way, this word made me taste discrimination for the first time in my life). In that society, foreigners are mostly black in Morocco and Suriname, and there are also descendants of yellow people in Turkey and Indonesia.

But don't worry, it's just that the government and people are always friendly. My Dutch friends are all very friendly and affable.

As for learning Dutch, I personally think that if your English is solid, Dutch is not a problem. I have been here for a year, and the usual communication is not too big a problem. Of course, long speeches are far less than English.

On the other hand, as long as you are willing to work hard, any language will do (except Chinese, which is too flexible, depending on the sense of language).

Finally, I wish you success!
