Yes Dutch is my first language. German can be strange to learn, much of the vocabulary is similar, but sometimes strangely divergent. The grammar is more straightforward, and more rigid, but can be hard to learn. Gender of the words is just gambling as I'll never learn that by heart.
I much prefer french, tbh it feels more natural to me, maybe just because it's a bit more distant, linguistically. Therefore it feels like it runs on different hardware, mentally.
