Yes, it is a bit expensive to live in the Netherlands. It costs more than living in some other European countries. But many jobs in the Netherlands pay well, and salaries are often higher. So, if you earn a little more than the average, you can still live a comfortable life there.
If someone is not from an EU country, Liechtenstein, Norway, Iceland, or Switzerland, they can still live in the Netherlands if they meet certain rules. They must also have a residence permit to stay in the country.
The official language of the Netherlands is Dutch, but almost 95% of the people also speak English. So, not knowing Dutch is usually not a big problem. In fact, learning Dutch can be hard because most Dutch people like to speak English and often switch to it quickly.
