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.
