"Goed! Ik leer Nederlands. Groetjes!" may be one answer to the Dutch phrases "Hoi! Hoe gaat? Hoe kan het dat jij Nederlands spreekt? Groetjes!"
Specifically, in terms of the answer "goed" means "fine, good, well." It is in response to the words "Hoi! Hoe gaat?" ("Hello! How are you?")
The statement "Ik leer Nederlands" means "I'm learning Dutch." It is in answer to the question "Hoe kan het dat jij Nederlands spreekt?" ("How is it possible that you speak Dutch?")
Both sets of Dutch phrases end on the same note with "Groetjes" ("greetings, regards," etc.).

Why is it The Netherlands but do we call them Dutch Why not Dutchland or Netherlands as it's people?
The Netherlands was more like a description of the country, "the lowlands" because a lot of the land is under sealevel, anyway the name stayed and became the official name of the country.
I don't know why the dutch are called the dutch, because in The Netherlands we call ourselves "nederlanders" so Netherlanders.
Very long ago, there was a language in todays Netherlands that were called "netherlandic". However, that language disappeared after a while and a new language was introduced, so they had to call it something different. But why they just didn't name that language "netherlandic" as well is beyond my knowledge. So, instead, they named that language "dutch". Where that name comes from I have no idea of though. But I think I've heard Germany and the Netherlands being reffered to as "Dutchlantis". But that is just pure speculations, and I'm not even sure if Germany was counted in there or if it was the Netherlands and Belgium (and Luxemburg maybe). However, that should give it a little more colour.
To make it more confusing some people also use Holland instead of The Netherlands.
I understand your question but I needed to answer this: We aren't called Dutchland, because that basicly would be the same as Germany, in Dutch: Duitsland and in Germany: Deutschland. That's why we aren't called Dutchland
