My thoughts exactly, if I’m hearing someone speak French then my brain says “that’s a different language”, but Dutch sounds similar enough to English that my brain says “that’s gobbledygook, there’s trickery afoot!”
Probably more like a German and Dutch speaker. I speak fluent English and fluent German (to like an 8 year-olds standard), I can sort of understand Dutch.

First time I heard Dutch I thought I was having a stroke.
