Learning dutch fast?

Anyone here learned dutch fast? If any dutch speakers could give insight as to how realistic it is to get up to speed to business level fluency fast and how long it took, would be appreciated

 

Immersion will get you there the fastest.

All I can say is good luck! That is a tough language in general.

Dated a Dutch girl for a while and would disagree from my anecdotal experience - that said I'm no savant at learning languages and my only frame for comparison is Spanish. Some people say it's like an easier German but I've found German to be pretty difficult as well... Could very well be I'm the problem and not the language lol
