I know Dutch is an easier language, and closer to English but what I am thinking is that it will be much easier to learn German once I get a basis for it as there is tons of German movies, games , books etc. Considering that a program like Michel Thomas only gives a basis, once you finish that you will need some other method of improving and there is not nearly as much Dutch content available.
I am downloading the Michel Thomas German and Dutch right now though, it looks alright.
