Since both Germany and Holland are in the same region in Europe they could be related.

Well my friend, also Italy and France are in the same region, but our two languages are very different, even if Italy shares a border with France. Italy also borders with Austria, where they speak German, totally different from Italian. It's not the vicinity but the origin of the language that makes the difference.

@nicegolden Dutch people speak an excellent English, almost without accent, while German people have a terrible strong accent.

I can understand your confusion.
The best way for me to think of it, is that one color bleeds into another..an analogy.
