Answer
Most Dutch people speak multiple languages. About 90% of the population speaks English, 71% German, 29% French and 5% Spanish. But there are more languages are spoken in the Netherlands. There are various dialects and large groups of immigrants who speak their own languages as well.
Answer
The Dutch speak Dutch, although there are many dialects, of which most sound more or less the same as 'regular' Dutch and have the same (overall) grammatical structures. Depending on the region these dialects sound 'German' (in the east) or 'Flemish' (in the south) to an outsider.
The 'real' Dutch language is thought of as originally being an Hollandic dialect (South and North Holland being the most west situated provinces of the Netherlands).
In the province of Friesland, in the northern part of the Netherlands, people speak (West) Frisian. This is also a Germanic language (as is Dutch itself), although it differs significantly from 'regular' Dutch. Most Dutch people can't fully understand this language without additional training
If that is not what you meant: high-school children are being taught German, English, French (and Greek/Latin (classical languages) when in grammar school) and Dutch (and Frisian in Friesland). In some schools, children can also choose from Spanish, Turkish, Arabic and I think even Chinese.
Depending on the level of education, these courses can range from 2 to 6 years.

What is the meaning of Netherlands?
Netherlands is the English translation of 'Nederland'. Nederland literally means 'low lying land' ('Neder' is an older word with the definition low and 'land' means land). The Netherlands are partially located below sea level and that is the reason why it is called The Netherlands.
In English and multiple other languages the country has been given the plural form, since you could say that The Nederlands exists of multiple low lying lands. This was also the case till 1815. Before that The Netherlands as a whole didn't exist.
In other languages you can also see this translation of 'low lying lands'. For example in French: 'les Pays-Bas', in German: 'die Niederlande' and in Italian: Paesi Bassi.
Why was new netherland called new netherland?
The official name of Netherland is "Koninkrijk der Nederlanden" ("Kingdom of the Netherlands"). Dutch people call it shortly "Nederland". "Nederland" consists of two words, "Neder" and "land". "Neder" is an old word for Low. The word "land" requires no further explanation.
"Netherlands" thus literally translates to "Low Lands", and that's exactly what it is, as the biggest part of it is below or just above sea level.
