Dat het verschil in gemiddelde passieve woordenschat tussen Duitse en Nederlandse moedertaalsprekers zo groot is, twijfel ik als linguïst toch wel een beetje aan.

Are you sure that there study/studies are sound and use directly comparable measures for passive vocabulary items?

Ja mich würde die Methodik da auch interessieren... I don't speak dutch but whenever I read it I understand a surprising amount. So I don't think there really are twice as many words as in German...
