But is it strong enough to make a space elevator?

Interesting. The article says that Dutch doesn't make a person's heart flutter. I don't think English makes anyone's heart flutter either, and it's arguably the most popular language in the world.

What Dutch has going for it is that is probably the closest to English of all the natural languages. So if you want to check off "bilingual" on your bucket list, it's a good candidate.

I'm willing to do that, but I would have to use Google translate to moderate. Which might be OK? Been studying Dutch lightly for 3 years and more intensely (hour a day) for the last 6 months.

Could we have a r/learndutch community? (feddit.nl)
 

I checked the big lemmy list. Apparently lots of people want to learn Thai. But I didn't see a community like "learndutch". Learndutch is subreddit where people learning Dutch can ask questions about words, grammar, and phrases they're having trouble with.

Feddit.nl seems like the obvious place to host such a community.

Dank je wel!
