For the people who don't know me, I'm a Japanese Language & Culture student at Leiden University in Holland.
I thought it would be fun to learn my fellow Dutch a lil' something about Japanese Language and how some
Japanese words actually derive from Dutch words.
Since I was telling someone about it today, and when I looked it up on the internet, I came across this list.
As you can see the Dutch brought in words like alcohol, beer and hysteria. I was surprised not to find words like
"weed" and "prostitution". Haha.
