Learn Dutch: how to pronounce the Dutch alphabet correctly. If you start to learn Dutch, don't skip this video. It is not an exciting lesson, but you have to go through it, if you want to know how to speak dutch perfectly! Correcting Dutch pronunciation at a later stage will be far more difficult. For a good understanding, repeat this lesson a few times, and try to pronounce the same way as the tutor does.
The Dutch alphabet lesson consists of 4 parts:
- the alphabet in Dutch
- each letter in detail explained how it is pronounced in Dutch
- combination of vowels, so called diphthongs
- combination of consonants
A correct Dutch pronunciation is very important. If you do not produce the right sound, it may be a total different word. Knowing how to say the words correctly is not only important to understand the Dutch. The Dutch may not understand you, if you pronounce the words differently.
This video lesson to learn Dutch is made by Bart de Pau.

Dit is een video les over het Nederlands alfabet, gemaakt voor anderstaligen die beginnen met Nederlands leren. De les wordt vanuit het Engels gegeven. In de les wordt de Nederlandse uitspraak behandeld van alle letters en letter combinaties. Het verdient de aanbeveling deze les van het Nederlands Alfabet enkele malen te bekijken ten einde een goede Nederlandse uitspraak te verwerven. Als men de video voor de tweede en opvolgende keer bekijkt, is het aan te raden om de uitspraak na te zeggen.

Okay I love you

Also me: *Interesting*
lmaoooo
dit doet pijn bro
Me: *is Dutch*
Also me: *this is difficult.*
@@i.m.385 I had the same thought, what is our language difficult with all these exceptions. I don't understand these rules, but I do usually do all these things corrct automatically without any thought.
"The real difficulty starts only now." Oh great because so far it's been a picnic
Its quite fun to watch these videos as a native dutch speaker. I never think about how complicated dutch is but this video made me realise how many exceptions there are. When he mentioned koeieuier i couldn't help but laugh. Good luck with learning dutch!
Haha you're so funny
Haha
I was like
Wait
Hol up
I thought I mastered this bitch
Everyone on my Fathers side of family speak fluent dutch and immigrated from the Nederlands. Pronouncing wrong when trying to learn in front of family is not a picnic. I am giving up on these quick phrases for travelers videos and going this direction.
I'm 28 and dutch is my first language. It has always been hard for me to learn the ei, ij, eu, uu, ui, au, ou, vowel combinations and I still make mistakes with them in my writhing. So don't worry it's not just you and it's not your fault.

Wait. Aren't they the same?
@@FuerFelix no, one is like english w but the upper teeth is touching the bottom lips like in v. very subtle difference for foreign ears. according to wikipedia some dialects pronounce it as english w so that pronunciation is an alternative. im having trouble pronouncing the one shown in the video lol so im substituting it with the english w. hope this helps

Still, but why in a lesson of pronunciation is there background music !? arghh
Omdat vervelende achtergrondmuziekjes geboren zijn in Nederland
@@stinky-oc2wc ja
music helps with learning
I'm dutch and I can hear that he is dutch when he started talking
Noë Hartmann true
Ik ook 😂
Op het moment dat je Engels spreekt, maar toch probeert om Nederlands te spreken
why are you watching a video about learning dutch if you're dutch?
random user idk...for fun, I guess
My Dutch ancestors are probably watching me and cringing
Rebecca Veenstra you r so American
Same
As long as you try i don't think so.
Zeker weten, ja. Geen twijfel
@@stinky-oc2wc ja, hè. Ik denk 't ook.
Trying to tackle German, French and Dutch at the same time and boy is it confusing xP but this awesome video helps a lot.
AmSay8D Well, that's a great challenge! Wish you success!
Good luck with that!
Loool same here but I'm also doing Spanish, it gets really hard to keep all these languages in practice, isn't it? :P :D
i had to do that on school , luckily now i only have to learn dutch english and french,
ik ben best wel goed in nederlands, misschien omdat ik het al best wel lang spreek ;D
Wie ist es gelaufen?
I am here to thank the only teacher who made me understand the pronunciation of the vowel combination UI, I am very happy that there is someone in the world who was born with the divine gift to teach and help those who are beginning to know the Dutch language. Thank you very much Bart for being someone so focused on teaching with details😍. God bless you all your family with health and prosperity always🙌
You're amazing Bart ! Thank you so much for taking the time to do the video and upload the video. Keep up the good work!
in the first week it was terrible to try to speak RUGGENGRAAT. However, after 6 days, I am able to speak perfectly like a native Dutch and without straining my throat too much to leave the sound of GRAAT at the end of the word. Hallelujah hahaha, thankypu Bart🖒😉
This video lesson is great. I am trying to learn Dutch in my spare time and have been struggling with pronunciation. I am going to be replaying this lesson over and over again. Thank you
Bart, thank you so much for this lesson. You are absolutely right in saying that beginners must learn first to pronounce the alphabet. I really like the idea of turning down the volume of the music while you are pronouncing the letters and / or phrases. Maybe, you should give a 5 seconds more for the students to repeat the words on the exercise given by you. Great work!
Thank you very much! This is what I call an online self study course. Complete, clear and useful .
Dank u wel voor dit video! I have been trying to learn Dutch for a month and a half now and this is so far the best channel to refer to specially when you are just self studying. The books are helpful but having this videos in a very organized channel makes learning easier and better! Thank you, Meneer Bart de Pau!
Hello! I started playing with the idea of learning Dutch after a few trips to Amsterdam. I speak both English and German (2nd language), so Dutch is a bit familiar with certain words. This video is by far the best one I've come across to date. It's clearly spoken and explained...and at a good pace. I look forward to more!! Thanks!
This has been the most helpful piece of information I've found so far. Thank you.
My brother studied languages at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center in California. The pace of study was intense. Students had to master the language course in 36-64 weeks. Psychologically it was very difficult, but fortunately he was helped by Yuriy Ivantsiv's book "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages”. The book " Polyglot Notes" became a desk book for my brother, because it has answers to all the problems that any student of a foreign language has to face. Thanks to the author of the channel for this interesting video! Good luck to everyone who studies a foreign language and wants to realize their full potential!
i'm a native spanish speaker and alphabet doesn't seem to be as difficult as I expected! thanks for uploading this!
I am Dutch and learnt Spanish as a student, I found it so much easier to pronounce than French. Our languages have in common that "what you see is what you get" you pronounce all the letters that are written and we have the g-sound (j in Spanish) in common.
Bart, you're an amazing teacher! Thank you so much for your wonderful material and your incredible generosity!
If you allow me, I must confess I don´t think that kind of music in the background befits the needed concentration for learning; perhaps if you use a soothing, low tune instead it'll be less distracting and maybe even enjoyable.
I have been watching this video again and again. One of the most helpful information online. Can't thank you enough!
Thank you for this video it really explains everything very well, very helpful indeed
Dear Bart, I have two years and a half untill I move to Amsterdam, so I'm starting to learn Dutch on my own thanks to your material. I plan to see all your videos, copying stuff on a notebook, pronouncing the words with you and taking the tests after each section. After that I'll seek for a private teacher, since we don't have Dutch schools in my city (what a pity!). Thank you very much for your work, I'm really excited with your content, your voice and how you stress letters in a word makes everything easy and pleasent. Again, DANKE U WEL!
I know this is a year too late, but try Duolingo if you haven’t already. Its a free app and I find it very useful
Dank u wel (not danke)
Hi...are you already in Amsterdam?
Did you move, even stay?
Did you end up moving? How was it?
Wow!! how i liked this dutch lesson. This is my first time to learn this language. I thought I wouldn´t like it, but I was mistaken, as our teacher Bart is so clear in his explanations. I hope I could continue without much more difficulties. Thank you so much Bart for your excellent videos. See you soon!!!
Loved it, I was looking for something like this far and wide, many thanks!
Thank you for made this video. I've been watched this video for more than 6 hours and still learning how to pronounce all of the alphabet and all of the combinations. Dank je! 😁
I had to come back a couple of times. But noow I'm able to see it more clearly. Thank you very much!
This is a nice way to learn please make more video s
This is so helpful, thank you x
This is indeed a very useful lesson for beginners. Thanks a lot!
I'm from Serbia and pronouncing those alphabet is so easy to me, i am thinking of start learning dutch
+janajana14 Yes, it is true; some of our previous students from Serbia also reached a very good pronunciation. I think none of the sounds is a real issue for you. So good luck in studying Dutch!
+janajana14 , So you are from Serbia , witch region? And why do you think to learn Dutch?

Belgrade, because language is interesting and not that hard, i also study german and these two languages are in some ways similar.
learndutch.org if I'm from Mexico is the pronunciation easy or nah?
ok wie gut sind deine Deutsch kenntnisse
I was so happy because it's mostly a mix of pronunciations from languages that I already know... and then I got to the g 😭😭 how the hell does one make that sound
Put your tongue in the end of ur mouth like you gargle ... I'm Belgian (also Dutch but another pronunciations sometimes) so I can't do it either .. I have a soft g pronunciation, and that's the one that they can't pronounce so It's a 50-50 xd
Isabella Maria it’s like in Russian the hard х sound it’s fun
a bit late to the party but i've been told that it's like lightly clearing your throat
I'm Mexican learning Dutch so that part is kinda easy-ish, lucky me xD
You need to grunt like you have something stuck to your throat, but make it a letter.
This video was an incredible find. Thank you for the building blocks.
this is sooo helpfu.I hope you are still making video lessons, I DECIDET to learn it with you.Thank you Bart!
I' going to stay in Amsterdam for a few days and wanted to learn how to pronounce the dutch street names and so on. I'm German, so I can read and recognize many dutsch words, but the pronounciation is so different! But I love it!
What a hectic language ? Deutsch is much easier. I just need to know this language as soon as possible but it's seriously hard
Dutch is german spoken by drunjs
@@leloli funny and original joke 😐😐😐😐
@@xanderkiela you really didn’t need to answer I commented that 1 year ago
thank you so much and i'm so happy found this amazing acc! i'm indonesian, really interested to learn dutch. Terimakasih
Thank you very much! It’s a great challenge for “g”, “ch”, “sch” and all other combinations of vowels/consonants, especially when there are too many of them in one word like achtentachtig.
I hope there are videos showing how to say words like this in a more natural way, since I struggle to stress “ch” in every single syllable, and I cannot say the whole word smoothly and naturally.
Love it! Finally some real linguistical approach to teach Dutch!
I wish I could have had the possibility to stop the music in the background so I could've concentrated on the accent further! Great videos and efforts though,, Thanks heaps!
If your looking for tips on pronunciation in the comments here's one:
While pronouncing the "G" in dutch don't over do it. Try to make it sound gentle.
You haven't been to Groningen, have you bud?
@@notyetactive Haha, guess not.
There's nothing wrong with the soft g
but when i try it just come sout as gghghhhghhghghg
the actual pro tip is that you should choke on some food to pronounce it correctly
Dank u! Learning Dutch is no easy task, but your lessons help greatly!
Great man, thanks; you're one of the best in Dutch lessons.
I'm Polish and I see it's actually much easier for me that for an English person - we read a, e and i pretty much like you :) And we can execute the "g" sound pretty well, as well as the rough "r" :) Great lesson, thank you! I'll definitely stick around.
Very helpful , I speak English but now learning Dutch because I've now got a Dutch friend, so recommend this video.
Did you learn it yet?
That's so funny! I'm here because I have a Dutch friend too
Did u learnn it now ??
4 years ago
Im here for the same reason.
best of the best tutorial work! teacher bart deserve more life.
This is great. Nice work done. God bless you. Now I can at least read Dutch after this lesson.
For the written version of this lesson - please read the transcript in youtube (in the bar next to About | Share | Add to )
Found it in your pdf e-book! Tx! Will another e-book come with les 21-40?
learndutch.org dank u, Bart! now i understand that "g" sounds like "ch" as in Scottish "loch". more guttural than "k" just like German "ch". does Dutch not have umlauts? for example: ä ü ö?
Hello ! Thank you very much for this video lesson. I'd have however some questions: there are parts not clear enough for me.
Can the letters "v" and "w" be respectively considered as a soft and a hard version of the same sound?
You say that "ee" is a long "e", but when you pronounced "veel", you say "veol". Is that true?
"Smerig" should be pronounced "smerex" but you say "smirex".
Is "taal "said "taal" or "tàol"?
Is "Eeuw" an "ièu" or a "èo"?
Is "u" a French "u" and "eu" a French "eu"( such as in "controlleur", "grandeur") ?
I don't have also understood the pronounciation of the group "Ui"
Kristjen Štjuprić No in dutch the symbol you call umlaut is a 'trema' and it is used in plurals of words like zee (pl. zeeën) It makes it clear you have to say ee-en and not zeen.
***** Therefore is the group "eu" a simple "e"?
Dankjewel!
Thank you very much, it is a complete and useful tool to begin with.
this video was way better than the other videos and i liked the way you teach and pronounce the words.thanks for the video.
Dank for this video! I planned to start learning dutch today, and I didn't know there were many words that were similar to swedish. Makes it easier to learn but it will take some to time to master the dutch G sound. anyways dank again!!
Ah yeah, our languages are very similar. I heard from Dutch who went to live in Sweden how easy it was to learn the language. So I guess the other way around must go fast as well. Good luck with the G. And if you don't succeed... no problem, a bit of swedish accent always sounds nice !
Its kind if easy when u know english and german...finally the years of learning german help for something i mean its different but u kinda know how to say things and im bulgarian so i already can say most of the sounds
We are learning German at school, and it is quite easy because we live in The Netherlands :D
I am really enjoining learning something new for the first time this much. thank you so much Mr. Leerar :)
Thank you so much for this video! Still struggling but I'll get there.
I am moving to NET in 6 weeks, so I have been studying the Dutch language quite a lot. This is video is VERY helpful and I intend to watch all of your lessons. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am grateful. Thank you!
This is amazing I really like it but can you please do some lessons that can teach us how to connect the sentences. Thank you so much for the beautiful lesson
Nazra Haybe Hi Naza, glad you like the lessons. I am working together with an other teacher on a course in which this will be explained. But we are still in the beginning of working it out. Follow us, and you will be informed when it will be available.

Thank you, you are really a good teacher.
Thank you sooooo much for adding Chinese subtitle to your video!! It helps a loooooot!
I got really interested on Dutch after this lesson. It's quit easy for me as a portuguese speaker. Also, it has a lot of similar sounds of many other languages (Didn't mean it in a bad conotation, just to be clear). Pretty good content overall! Nice job!
estava pensando a mesma coisa enquanto assistia kkkkkk tem muitos sons parecidos com português mesmo
hallo! dank u for this video, it really helps a lot. honestly i'm half belgian. my dad is a belgian but i'm just learning dutch and i'm already 15 yrs old. maybe because my family lived in the philippines and i grew up here. anyway, i want to learn dutch, and i won't stop till i learn it :)
i'll start with this and enhance my speaking skills with my father.
although one thing i'm still confused about is the pronunciation of "g". but this helped me very much. thanks again! :)
tomorrowxtuduro global shooky Did you learn it haha
Ik vind het een hele goed idee,om nederlandse les zo te leren op internet.nog bedankt voor alles uit te legen in het eenvoudige manier.

Its kinda easy if u start with speaking indonesian👌
I can speak bahasa, chinese, english but why did I still find it hard to speak the g... :(
Sure😂
Bahasa Belanda sejak lahir kita udah di indoktrinasi bahasa penjajah.
Kita kita jadi auto benci..
Padahal pengucapannya 70-80% sama persis dengan alphabet kita.
Eh, kitanya malah lebih gampang English
I can speak Chinese it’s kinda close to Indonesia right? But I still struggle your lucky cuz this 你好 compared to this hallo is... well you already know what mean XD and good luck with your learning
Oof I forgot to add a i in between the what and the mean so here it is what I mean XD sorry

The letter "J" , pronounced "Yay", like in "YEEEEEEET"
funny
Why in f*cking Grand Line are you learning Dutch while you should be kicking Kaido’s ass rn ?
Me: let’s pronounce the [r]. My tongue: NO.
Some tend to roll it like Spanish or Italian, some say it gutturally like French or German, it depends on the speaker...
Excelent explanation! I started learning Dutch, but I gave up. However, I began studying again.
Thanks!
Thank youu I wanted to learn Dutch and this helped me alot
Once I finally finished the letters I heard "The real difficult stuff starts only now." I just whispered "Oh shit".
About the letter 'g': the southern part of the Netherlands (Noord-Brabant and Limburg) pronounce it higher in the throat, resulting in a soft g. The ''zachte g'' is something you'll hear a lot if you plan on going south of the Rhine river, and it's a way of recognizing southern-born Dutch, so you might as well remember the difference. Also because nearly all Brabanders make fun of people who use the throaty hard 'g', all in good fun of course ;)
A very useful video that I will refer back to often. Thanks.
This is so helpful!
I am really struggling with the letter G. I've tried using CH as in lock, but it is a very difficult letter to pronounce. It would be great to have a video for this letter.
Start to make a K, hold your tongue against your palate . Then allow a little air to to pass between your tongue (still in the position to produce a K) and your palate. Practise :)
Try to hiss like a cat.
"g" as "kh" is not so unusual if you know Georgian lenguage they have too many rough pronounciation as its "ხ" like "g" in Dutch and many others :D thanx for video it is very helpfull for self learning
You can actually pronounce Dutch g like ღ in ღარიბი and ch like ხ in ჯოხი, according to what I've read :3
thanks bart.. its really helpful
Your videos helped me a lot when I started learning Dutch!
The pronunciación of the letters in Dutch is pretty similar to the pronunciation we have in Spanish (Español/Spanish/Spaans)
I know both the languages have a trilling 'R'.
@@inferiorinferno8859 Which is fucking impossible for me to pronounce lmao
@@user-zl5cv6vw2m Do u mean u cant make the trilling R?
@@galaxydave3807 Yep
I don't have any problem in pronouncing the 'g' thanks god. because I am arab and we have these kind of pronunciations in arabic. so it's very easy for me. I think who knows arabic can speak and pronounce vero easly any language.
Yes, I don't have any problem to pronounce the g either! Well, I'm not arab but I'm a spanish native speaker and we both have a few similarities in our languages :D
+Carol Arciniega oh yes I know
Carol Arciniega im Dutch and im learning spanish and its super easy for me especially pronounciating with which ive seen Americans struggle with it like its impossible
That's what I think about both Spanish and Portuguese. They're way easier languages to learn.
Aug, muslims invading europe😒
Dank! This really helped me
In 1999 I took a Dutch sommer Kurs while I was in. German classes here in Sao Paulo Brazil. German helped me in Dutch. I keep hearing songs sung in Dutch since them.
I think I'll get a sore throat from the letter "g". I thought this letter has the same pronunciation like our German letter "ch" ... but I think it's more a mix between a German "r" and "ch" ..
I don't get it ...😥
And I love it how you say "letterrrr" 😍
Maja Konna Also ich find das ist garnicht so schwer auszusprechen :o
Ich denke, die Aussprache des holländischen Klanges 'g' /'ch' mit dem Aussprache des Klanges von Wörter wie „Dach“, „hoch“, „durch“ usw. (beziehungsweise, a/o/u + ch) vergleichbar ist. Ich bin selbst nicht sicher und entschuldige mich, ob es viele Fehler gibt 👀
Maja Konna But g can be pronounced as ‘ch’, but also harder
Thank you so much but it might take long time to learn Dutch.
I have no any basics of Dutch before. This my first time to learn Dutch.
+nok nittaya Hi, I suggest you to try duolingo and come back here to learn about pronunciation, like Im doing right now :D. good luck
+Tony StarK what is the duolingo? I mean what is the way you do?
+nok nittaya duolingo is an app for learning languages. it works like a kind of little game losing and earning "hearts" when you answer incorrectly or correctly.
it's nice, but sometimes you get fed up with few useless sentences they give, but you can have a taste of building sentences if you keep on. :)
I’m looking forward to learning Dutch again and hopefully I’m giving myself 3 months to understand it and speaking moderately and by 6 months to be speaking confidently and reading and writing!and be able to read adult books like novels. I was born here in the Netherlands and I’m now learning again I can’t believe I forgotten how to speak this beautiful language 😭😭😭😭.
This helped me so much! DANK U WEL! Thank you!
Also, it helped me understand why my dutch friend always put a j instead of y
Thank you for your job! I found it very useful.I'm trying to handle Dutch, it's not so easy but it's a beautiful language! Greetings from Italy
I found most of dutch words from this video similar to english and german ones, like they are combined from english and german.
Actually it's the other way around. German English and Dutch come from the same language Dutch is the most conservative of the tree and sounds the most like the original language West Germanic language.
