Q: I want to go there some day, so I wanted to learn a bit of Dutch but do people speak Dutch more or Papiamento? And are there differences between Holland Dutch and Aruba Dutch. Oh, good, I speak Spanish as a second language and English as a first :D
A: in their school systems they are taught very young languages... dutch, english, spanish, and their native tongue papiamento....many need this knowledge there to gain employment at many places on the island...with your english you will be able to converse with most, sometimes you'll run across for instance those from other aways places like columbia, so spanish would come in handy but it my no mean is a must, the island i very much americanized
