Dutch is much easier than German..It is not as useful.Dutch grammar is much easier and many Dutch words are or almost the same in English.

None of those. They are Germanic languages and not Anglican.

probably Dutch. It's closer to English. But then there are fewer Dutch speakers than German speakers. In regard to audience, you will find German most useful. However if you plan to move to Sweden, then Swedish will be most useful
