>>19089358It's not a bad thing. It's very good to learn any second language but the idea that somebody only learned their native language and English or even just English and is motivated to learn Dutch by a cartoon that took 3 years to make 6 years ago and is 20 minutes long in total is... shocking. How did these people not get motivated to learn any other language long before this?
>>19089361if true then uhhh
I mean there still is points of lesser continuity within dialect continuums and it's useful to separate languages at some point so idk I'll still call it its own language but I didn't realize that was much more possible than German-English mutual intelligibility.
