as the title said, I am interested to learn Dutch at the moment to communicate with someone I know in te fediverse.

but the question is, where I should start? Common place I would start with, of course is Duolingo. But is there some proper resource to learn?

I've been scrolling through anki cards but couldn't find the most suitable one. I am open to any book resources, but I hope it has the e-book version for me to purchase.

Any suggestion are welcome. Thank you

So I thought Dutch had a word order similar to English, with the adjectives in front of the noun. But then I see sentences like this from NOS:

Mysterie knalgroen kanaal Venetië opgelost

So the adjective indicating that the canal is "Venetian", is coming after the noun, even though two other adjectives came first. Is this typical, and is it usually the location that comes after?

Thank you!

I have a sentence, used by a Dutch speaker/instructor:

Vandaag leer ik jullie hoe je vragen kan stellen

In the same sentence, we have the audience referred to as "jullie" and "je". Is this typical? I guess I would expect it to be consistent:

Vandaag leer ik jij hoe je vragen kan stellen

or

Vandaag leer ik jullie hoe jullie vragen kan stellen

Dank je wel !
