I also found myself understanding a lot of Dutch while visiting there. I knew German (at the time), and Dutch really did sound like German colliding with English. Like German words spoken with more English pronunciation kind of. I was with Germans and they didn't believe that I could understand Dutch since they couldn't and my German wasn't super great either. But I understood quite a bit!
