I got a similar feeling German, and it was solidified learning some few words of Dutch as well - I believe that English is about half way between the two. Problem with Dutch is the spelling. If you can get through that to the way the words arte pronounced it makes a lot more sense. Sometimes if you only half listen, you can understand Dutch phrases in their entirety. My favourite example (and very useful in business) is:
Dot is niet meen problem (almost certainly got the spelling wrong) Pronounced something like: Dot is neet mine problaym "That is not my problem" -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
