Narrowing it down, should I live in the Netherlands, Portugal, or Spain? (thelemmy.club)

Hi! So I'm learning Spanish in school, I know some Portuguese which I will perfect with Busuu, and I'm new to Dutch which I will learn with Busuu.

I think it may be hard for me to understand European Portuguese since it is Brazilian Portuguese that I understand, so Spain Spanish will be easier for me.

Dutch is apparently a hardish language according to a Dutch person I know online, but it might be worth it to learn!

Which is kindest to LGBTQ+ and immigrants?

To me, Dutch has been the easiest language to learn so far. Pretty simple grammar, similar vocabulary to English. Word order is the hardest part for me (I'm still making mistakes), the second hardest thing is the pronunciation. Pronouncing 'g' without hurting your throat can be quite tricky.
