Dutch Facts
For many English speakers, basic written Dutch looks recognisable, but there may be marked differences in pronunciation
Dutch is spoken by almost all inhabitants of the Netherlands, and is also an official language of Belgium, as well as the official language of Suriname, Aruba and the Netherlands Antilles
Like English, Dutch includes words that originate from Latin and Ancient Greek, but far fewer than English

Bournemouth
Bournemouth is a large coastal town and tourist hotspot with a population of over 160,000 people - making it the largest settlement in the county of Dorset. Originally famous for its expansive beaches as well as its inland shopping and historic tourism facilities, Bournemouth no longer lives up to its old nickname of "God's Waiting Room" as the city has recently become a much more youthful and vibrant place, mainly thanks to the large student population (many from overseas, as the city is a major centre for teaching English) and 24-hour clubs.
