German and Dutch are related, but they are still two different languages. Dutch is spoken in the Netherlands and the Flemish part of Belgium, German is spoken in Germany, Austria, parts of Switzerland, Luxembourg and Liechtenstein.

I´m German and personally I think that Dutch sounds a lot like the dialect they speak in the Northern parts of Germany. For a German person it`s not very hard to understand Dutch (even without speaking the language), because it`s phonetics are related to the German language (like i said, one could easily associate it with a German dialect). Vice versa it might be similar.

Anyway, I noticed that there often seems to be a misunderstanding. A lot of people seem to confuse Dutch with German or they think it`s the same. Maybe it`s because the German word for "German" is "Deutsch", which sounds like "Dutch". In fact, the words "Dutch" and "Deutsch" have a same origin - to learn about that, you should read about Germanic history. As a start I added a wikipedia-link below.

In summary it can be said that Dutch and German are related, though they are two different languages. They both have their origin in the Germanic languages, like many other Northern European languages, too. By the way, English is also a Germanic language.
