Germans come from Germany, the Dutch come from Holland/The Netherlands.

I can see why you are confused. This confusion is very common among english speakers. For example, the Pennsylvania "Dutch" are actually the Pennsylvania "Germans". They were called Dutch due to a mis-translation of the word Deutsch...meaning German...not Dutch. So, the Amish...whose name comes from the German word meaning poor-ish or "arm" although being referred to as PA Dutch, alctually speak a German based dialect...not Dutch at all. So, Deutsch is not Dutch and Dutch is spoken in Holland...aka the Netherlands.

It's similar, but there are a lot of differences. I lived in a Germany/Netherlands border region, and I heard dutch a lot. If you speak good German, you can understand a bit of Dutch (enough to buy stuff at stores or go to a restaraunt). I don't know about the other way around.

If you know one of the languages fairly well, you can easily tell if a text/spoken word is german or dutch.

The Dutch come from Holland/the Netherlands and Germans from Germany.

Here's the full story.

German in German is Deutch, pronounced Doytch
Dutch I think is Duitz, in English we call it Dutch

Dutch was a dialect of German that went off on a tangent a few hundred years ago, and its quite distinct language, although many of the words seem familiar, with very distinctly different spelling, and some very old German literature from areas close to Holland show some similarity, seeming like a transitional phase of the two languages.

Dutch is spoken in Holland and maybe a bit of Belgium too.

German language is spoken of course, in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, with different areas also having their own style of the language in casual life, you could say, almost different dialects too, although in formal language like school or government or business, its still written proper spelling and grammar as German language.
