No. Dutch is not the same as German. Dutch is a part of the Germanic language family which means much of it came from the same ancestral language as German. Still, the languages are not the same. English also came from that language family but Dutch is closer. That simply means that a person speaking Dutch would recognize far more German words than someone speaking English. You may be able to read a few German words such as haus for house, hande for hand, or apfle for apple. There is a great difference between being able to pick out a lot more written words in a sentence and actually reading the language. The Wycliffe Society establishes 70% similarity as the break point to determine if one or two languages exist. Two languages exist.
