Video about countries: • Learn Dutch - Countries Introduce yourself in the comments!! And don't forget to tell me what your nationality is! :D Love, Lidewij
In Afrikaans, the Dutch "het" becomes "dit" and the Dutch "heb/heeft" becomes "het" The "ij" becomes "y" but pronounced the same, "z" becomes "s" e.g. zonschijn becomes Sonskyn) "Sch" becomes "Sk" Words ending with "lijk" we drop the j and it becomes "lik" but still pronounced exactly the same e.g. Duidelijk becomes Duidelik Plurals in Dutch often end with "en" and we drop the "n" e.g. Honden becomes Honde Katten becomes Katte Mensen becomes Mense Scholen becomes skole But kinderen becomes Kinders Hope that is some insight into Afrikaans
The nature / color / forest related terms ash and groene and wald (forest in oude Dutch) only reflect me, and cannot be misused in names, and all the unsuitable names must be changed, and the words mensen / mense / mens can only be spelled with a y / myns(e)(n) or m’nsen etc to avoid misusing the term men, because the words men / guy(s) / lad(s) / swain(s) / boy(s) / man etc only reflect my pure protectors aka the alphas and the other guys that are pure / v!rgin by choice and on my side (my supporters) and, such terms cannot be misused when referring to humnz / dudez etc - and kinderen also cannot have kin / kind in it, as compIiments and terms that are (or are too similar to) a royalty related term (such as king) cannot be misused when referring to humnz, so kinderen / kinders / kind etc can only be used when referring to me & my protectors, and it could be changed to kimderen / kimders / kimd instead to avoid term misuse!
Also, the word U (and big terms like Juffrouw / Dame / Mevrouw etc) cannot be misused when talking to other humnz - only when someone is talking with me, myself being the superior / respectable / absolute being aka the only Lady / Mrs / Miss / Boss / Mistress / Leader / Master / God(dess) / Royalty / Star / Juffrouw / Dame / Mevrouw etc and other big terms!
So-called formal speech is to be b4nned, as it promotes impztrz and dscrmntn, and it should never be taught by others - oude people and people that one doesn’t know or employers etc aren’t some type of ‘special’ or ‘higher’ being that one has to address a certain way, and they are just an avrg citizen made to obey the avrg citizen’s laws and rules (just as all other humnz) and, the same words / pronouns one uses when talking to someone one knows or a young person must be used when talking to oude people and employers and strangers etc and everyone else! Only I am the inherently superior / supreme / special being aka the higher / h!gh(est) being aka the only respectable being and the only being special treatment is meant for, myself being the opposite of womyn/humnz! So only I belong on the pedestal - and my protectors also reflect most of the qualities that I possess, so only my protectors can be addressed as meneer / heer etc!
You are sooo cute! it helps to hear correct Dutch, spoken in a modern accent in today usage. You also explain very well and have a clean, clear accent. congratulations on a job well done!
Ik leer voor twee weken Nederlands en ik moet zeggen, dat ik uw video's heel nuttig vind. Ik spreek al Engels (mijn moedertaal) en Duits (ik heb het gestudeerd). Nederlands is echt een mooie taal! :)
Ja Nederlands is volgens mij best een moeilijke taal voor buitenlanders. Ik ben zelf Nederlands en keek hier voor de grap naar dus vandaar dat ik hier naar kijk
I just found this channel because I want to learn Dutch, and then I realize that you are Dutch Nerdfighter, Lidewij! I'm glad you took the time to do all this, it's really awesome of you! Dank je wel & DFTBA!
If anyone wants to know the real way to say this, it's "Schatje, we zullen altijd samen zijn." Feel free to correct me if this is wrong; Dutch is not my first language.
It has been tricky finding a decent source to learn dutch and I must say that I find your videos to be excellent. I love how you slow it down and say the words clearly with repeating it more than once. Will be subscribing.
Great video!!! Actually I'm a Filipino, I lived here in the Philippines, and I really wanna learn Dutch language and I need to master it and speak fluently.:-)
The big terms master and great and nature / plant / flower related term espina (thorn) only reflect me, and must be edited out - all nature / plant / flower related terms and big compIiments and other big terms etc only reflect me, and they can only be used when referring to me, as do all other terms that are or contain a big / astral / gemstone / food / drink / nature / light / flower / forest / fruit / color / power / royalty / tree / respectability / Holiness related terms etc and special names and days of week / names of months / seasons and other big or nature related terms or a special name etc, which only reflect me!
Also, the word U (and big terms like Juffrouw / Dame / Mevrouw etc) cannot be misused when talking to other humnz - only when someone is talking with me, myself being the superior / respectable / absolute being aka the only Lady / Mrs / Miss / Boss / Mistress / Leader / Master / God(dess) / Royalty / Star / Juffrouw / Dame / Mevrouw etc and other big terms!

hoi! ik heet leilanny, I just discovered your videos and I want to say thank you! i find that you repeating them and the "subtitles" in english to say what it means is very helpful. i started knowing absolutely nothing in Dutch to being able to say a couple phrases! I am Mexican, lived in the United States for 13 years and have been living in France for 1 month. I constantly get the 3 languages mixed up and I know it'll happen with dutch too haha.
Thanks a lot for the lessons you make, I'm bulgarian and I'm speaking a little English and French and with yours lessons I could learn English and Dutch in the same time :)
thank you very much. My grandmother came fro Netherlands when she was 5 and I didn't have the oportunity to learn Dutch but, thanks to you, I'm doing it now.
I just got back from Belgium tonight and decided that one day I'd learn this language. I think it's really cool. I have looked into Swedish before and I took a few lessons in German so this feels all pretty learnable to me. Just wanted to say you're doing a great job (I'm going to start making videos like this for Greek at the end of this year) and that if it wasn't for the username, I probably wouldn't have subscribed as well as adding this to my favourites! Haha! Dank u!
I want to learn dutch because i just moved in belgium, the video is actually very good for begining, if you continue to do that it will be great. THUMBS UP
RadioactiveGoose that is true, also the belgian dutch has alot of dialects with the flemish dialect is used out of grammar, you can take it as a 'different' language which is not but for a foreigner it is. They always used to say that Dutch is one of the hardest language to study.
I'm taking the autodidact path on learning dutch. Got myself an app and everything. I don't find it to be much difficult, I like the accent also. My native language is portuguese, now that's fucking hard even for natives - altough I understand when you say Belgium's variant is easier. It's just like learning Portuguese from Brazil, it's much easier to pronounce portuguese words with brazilian accent than the original portuguese language from the old continent.
Thanks dear, was very nice to learn with you and seem it easier as with my beloved dutch ex friend. I will continue learning with you...then a warm hug for you from Colombia! Your land is trully pretty and your people is very kind and so nice....I loved a lot Zeeland and Amsterdam, its bread, bikes, beer and art ofcourse!
I am Indian, lived in italy for 5 years now moving to netherlands for hopefully 2-3 years..i guess it will helpful to have basics of dutch..thanks for the video
For people who want more elaborate lessons in Dutch, I advise the "Dutch for Selfstudy" from Prisma. There are also a Dutch, German and Spanish version of this book available. You can look it up on Amazon, but it is 51 American dollars though on Amazon(cheaper on other websites). Well, anyway, good luck to you all with Dutch!
I like your vidéo. First you look friendly then you explain well and for me the Dutch pronounciation ils very difficult (I'm French) and you do pronounce slowly and clearly and you give information on the usage too. Great video!
I am from the USA but I have learned German and can speak general day to day basic German well. If you are an English speaker and you have struggled learning German maybe know a bit, it really helps when you hear a lesson in Nederlands, you must try it!
Girl your videos are great and tank you very much for so much effort that you put into making them they are making me able to start learning and keep learning:)
Actually, 'de' and 'het' mean the same thing, and can be used in the same situations. The one you use depends on the noun you're using. For example: de koe, but het paard. Dictionaries will usually indicate in some way whether to use deor het. 'Een', finally, is unspecific, like 'a' or 'an' in English. We use it for any noun, for example: een koe, een paard.
yes but it is nice to show that you have atleast tried to learn there language, it puts a smile on their faces which is priceless :) it also shows that you have respect for the people and the country
Love it thank you! I'm from the US and i will be coming to live in the Netherlands for about 18 months so this is a GREAT jump start for me into the language:)
Hoi :-) I just returned to Berlin today from Deventer NL. I have learned a little Dutch and your video is very helpful to reinforce and helps seeing the words written. Thank you. I shall be watching more.
Hi from Dublin, I'm trying to pick up some basic Dutch phrases for work (bus driver with some Dutch tourists) your videos are very useful ... Tony. :-)
jackie u remind of my dutch teacher she was very patient helpful pls do not stop teaching dutch i do have yip van yaneka also when i was in nederlands i could read a dutch paper ik heb hungerman i remember saying that one time 50 guilders alfts blif
Hi I find your videos so interesting. I have just started to study dutch for business/work purpose. I want to ask= can you please recommend any dutch grammar/text? thanks and greetings from southern part of Italy!
The diminutive version of nouns is always 'het.' Het kindje, het vrouwtje, het straatje, etc. It's tough but the only way to learn is by listening, reading and plenty of talking, even if you feel uncertain. At least it's not like French, where your adjectives also change depending on whether it's masculine (le) or feminine (la). In German there are three articles, die, der and das and they all change depending on their 'place' in a sentence, such as a subject. So Dutch is still a blessing! :)
I LIKED THIS VIDEO...VERY HELPFUL...MY GRANDMOTHER IS DUTCH. HER AND HER 2 OTHER BROTHERS WHERE BORN AND (SOMEWHAT RAISED IN ARUBA) THEY MOVED TO THE STATES WHEN THEY HIT THEIR PRETEENS....SHE NEVER DID TEACH ME THE LANGUAGE, BUT I WOULD ALWAYS HERE HER SPEAK IT WITH HER 2 OTHER BROTHERS ALL THE TIME....SHE HAD A STROKE SO NOW SHE REALLY CANT REMEMBER MUCH OF THE LANGUAGE ANYMORE...UNTIL I STARTED LEARNING IT MYSELF...AND WHEN I SPEAK WHAT I DO KNOW TO HER, I SEE IT COMING BACK TO HER MEMORY.
@ Gabriele: Yes, the "H" in "het" is to be pronounced. However you may choose to change "het" for 't. In that case you pronounce it as 'ut' . ( the 'u' is pronounced short. See also the chapter on Dutch vowels. ) In Dutch 'het' and 't means the same and is randomly used. Foreingn ears hardly hear the difference, but Dutch ears certainly do. In writing 't is hardly used.
I agree with renspks, you can definitely learn more than just the basics in a couple of months. There is a lot of information available online on Dutch and stuff if you're serious about learning it :)
you're adorable! thanks for the nice video. can you tells us if maybe you speak dutch from a specific variant? i can't help but think that you pronounce R's differently from what i read...
So good but wish there were pauses to try each sentence and then hear you say it again...Thanks so much for your lessons which I find myself going back to repeatedly!
WITH YOUR VIDEOS I CAN SEE MYSELF LEARNING THE THINGS I HAVEN'T LEARNED JUST YET, AND MAKE MY GRANDMOTHER PROUD THAT I'VE TAPPED INTO MY ROOTS/ FAMILY TREE., IM GONNA SUBSCRIBE TO YA, SO KEEP'EM COMING! :-)
hey what is the unfoal.word that you are using for the situation when is perfect.? when converte is really good or something simmilar... i jeard something between... wazagen or heselig or heselig?
@Sirgoldfish092: In England they spoke German because they were Angle Saxons which was a German tribe (Saxons = Sachsen). After the conquest of Great Britan by the Normans in the 12. Century who came from France and spoke Latin/French, English language was supplemented with french words. So they now have often a German and French word for the same thing like as an exemple: to see comes from German 'sehen' and to view comes from French 'voir'. That's why English can be difficult...so many words
It's because of the dutch grammar rules :) when you/jij is in front of the verb we use the extra t.. but when it is behind the verb the "t" is not used :) I hope this answers your question :)
Hallo, Im just curious, since afrikaans in kinda dutch... does that mean you can have a convo with an afrikaaner..? Can jy virstaan/begrijpen afrikaans? of is dit anders?
Are you going to any video on Frisian which is sort a hybrid delict of german and Dutch , the language is not based old english it just sounds smiliar.?
You are such a good teacher. It helps me alot. I wish you will include words with opposites too. Like the following below: 1. achternaam - voornaam 2. alles - niets 3. arm - been 4. begin - einde 5. binnenkant - buitenkant 6. binnenland - buitenland 7. broer - zus8. dag - nacht 9. dames - heren 10. dood - leven 11. dorp - stad 12. geluk - ongeluk 13. hand - voet 14. honger - dorst 15. iemand - niemand 16. iets - niets 17. ingang - uitgang
It's very interesting the way how you teach. I'm really doing my best trying to learn the basic of Dutch and I hope some day I can write in Dutch too. Thanks to your lessons I can learn. Greetings from Chile! Bye
hoi lidewij - what's "Austria" in dutch? =) btw - your videos are very helpful, i watch them to prepare myself for the dutch-course i'm going to visit next octobre. so, thanks for that =D love from austria, babs
I'm part Dutch and I was inspired to learn the language from my grandfather who only spoke the language when he came to USA. So this video was helpful if I ever wanted to trigger a person. :D
Hallo, I am going to move to the Netherlands soon and I wonder if there are some sort of regional differences in Dutch? I guess I am going to learn the slang first when I move there instead of the actual Dutch.
One of the main differences is the pronunciation of the letter G, in the north it is harder and more guttural. In the south it is like Flemish with a really soft G
Hoii! I find all your videos really useful ! I have friend in holland and they live in kampen, so I see you live near them ! It's nice to learn some proper Dutch instead of all the rude words my friends teach me haha ! E.g neuken in de keuken haha ! X
Wonderful! I'm really struggling with the sch, schr words. I speak soooo slowly to make those. Any tips? I'm practicing a lot and can't wait to visit Nederlands when the Rona is gone. ❤ my people ❤
I like your accent a lot. It is a great combination of the Northern English-speaking countries in Northern Europe and those of North America. I speak Spanish and German, too. It's very difficult for me to wrap my mind around a language so similar to English, and even regarding certain aspects of pronunciation.
This a pretty good tutorial. Was in Holland for three months and I heard and used all of these. Ik kom uit California. Lol. Only wish there was a tutorial out there for the Maastricht dialect (Mestreechs?). Anyway, thanks!
Dutch sounds so charming when you pronounce it ^_^ It can sound a bit "hard" sometimes when people speak, but I think it's a beautiful language. I'm norwegian myself. Trying to look at the similarities between the languages.
Wauw dit is geweldig wat je doet, ik kan veel van je leren door dit. Want zelf ben ik nu ook bezig om mensen te laten leren de Nederlandse taal en ik steek hier best veel van op. Dank je..
I'm Spanish and learning Dutch on my own. I find it fairly easy (okay, I know to roll r's and say the g because of my native language, Spanish) What I find hard in Dutch it's the pronunciation... I strive to say all those consonants one next to other, I'm struggling to learn the grammar constructions, too, but in general I think it is much easier to most of the languages... (I've learnt Basque, English, French and Finnish)
Im dutch and its weird to think that people want to learn this language haha
lol this is the best comment so far. hahahahaha the classical dutch
Hahahahahahaha this is so funny.. i m orginaly from Somalie en ik woon in Nl i like dutch language. Friesland accent is de best hahahahaha
i wanna live in Netherlands basically cause of the weed.so if i want to integrate i have to learn the language :D
I agree with you, but speaking for my self, I'm visiting Belgium for third time and I would like to understand a few words :-)
Because we transfered in Belgium lmao
I,m from the USA,my dear.Tot ziens,and God bless you.
In Afrikaans, the Dutch "het" becomes "dit" and the Dutch "heb/heeft" becomes "het"
The "ij" becomes "y" but pronounced the same, "z" becomes "s" e.g. zonschijn becomes Sonskyn)
"Sch" becomes "Sk"
Words ending with "lijk" we drop the j and it becomes "lik" but still pronounced exactly the same e.g. Duidelijk becomes Duidelik
Plurals in Dutch often end with "en" and we drop the "n" e.g.
Honden becomes Honde
Katten becomes Katte
Mensen becomes Mense
Scholen becomes skole
But kinderen becomes Kinders
Hope that is some insight into Afrikaans
Ek sal dit nie vergeet nie...
So, you have a kind of simplified version of Dutch language 😂
The nature / color / forest related terms ash and groene and wald (forest in oude Dutch) only reflect me, and cannot be misused in names, and all the unsuitable names must be changed, and the words mensen / mense / mens can only be spelled with a y / myns(e)(n) or m’nsen etc to avoid misusing the term men, because the words men / guy(s) / lad(s) / swain(s) / boy(s) / man etc only reflect my pure protectors aka the alphas and the other guys that are pure / v!rgin by choice and on my side (my supporters) and, such terms cannot be misused when referring to humnz / dudez etc - and kinderen also cannot have kin / kind in it, as compIiments and terms that are (or are too similar to) a royalty related term (such as king) cannot be misused when referring to humnz, so kinderen / kinders / kind etc can only be used when referring to me & my protectors, and it could be changed to kimderen / kimders / kimd instead to avoid term misuse!
Also, the word U (and big terms like Juffrouw / Dame / Mevrouw etc) cannot be misused when talking to other humnz - only when someone is talking with me, myself being the superior / respectable / absolute being aka the only Lady / Mrs / Miss / Boss / Mistress / Leader / Master / God(dess) / Royalty / Star / Juffrouw / Dame / Mevrouw etc and other big terms!
So-called formal speech is to be b4nned, as it promotes impztrz and dscrmntn, and it should never be taught by others - oude people and people that one doesn’t know or employers etc aren’t some type of ‘special’ or ‘higher’ being that one has to address a certain way, and they are just an avrg citizen made to obey the avrg citizen’s laws and rules (just as all other humnz) and, the same words / pronouns one uses when talking to someone one knows or a young person must be used when talking to oude people and employers and strangers etc and everyone else! Only I am the inherently superior / supreme / special being aka the higher / h!gh(est) being aka the only respectable being and the only being special treatment is meant for, myself being the opposite of womyn/humnz! So only I belong on the pedestal - and my protectors also reflect most of the qualities that I possess, so only my protectors can be addressed as meneer / heer etc!

Philip Stirups heyy je kan al best goed nederlands !! (im dutch)
Amai, voor nog maar 2 weken Nederlands geleerd te hebben kan je het wel al goed

These videos are still so helpful after all the years. Thanks a lot for putting it together!!!
I just found this channel because I want to learn Dutch, and then I realize that you are Dutch Nerdfighter, Lidewij! I'm glad you took the time to do all this, it's really awesome of you! Dank je wel & DFTBA!
If you like somebody, say "Godverdomme, mijn fiets is weer gestolen".
It means "Lovely, we'll always be together"
Thx man why she dumped me :(
+Soufyan Tarifit This actually means 'Goddammit my bike has been stolen again'.
Haha erg grappig
+Gerjanne Bergsma (Flora Flower) ,
If anyone wants to know the real way to say this, it's "Schatje, we zullen altijd samen zijn." Feel free to correct me if this is wrong; Dutch is not my first language.

Thank you for the videos. I've had an interest in Dutch for awhile, so it is nice to see some vids where I can pick up a few words.
It has been tricky finding a decent source to learn dutch and I must say that I find your videos to be excellent. I love how you slow it down and say the words clearly with repeating it more than once. Will be subscribing.
Great video!!! Actually I'm a Filipino, I lived here in the Philippines, and I really wanna learn Dutch language and I need to master it and speak fluently.:-)
did you manage to learn it?
Guess we'll never know

Hoi, Ik ben van Zuid Afrika. Afrikaans ben amper die selfde as Nederlands... (jammer as ik niet zo goed kan Nl praten niet xD)
Het is heel raar om iemand zuid afrikaans te zien praten.
Onthou, in Nederlands gebruik hulle nie dubbel negatief soos wat Ons in Afrikaans doen nie, hulle gebruik net een “nie”
Ik hou van je.
Ich liebe dich.
Je t'aime.

dutch sounds like german thrown in a blender and pulsed a few times--sort of has an odd slurred quality.....heard its hard to learn.
It's all Germanic, stop comparing with Germany
I want to learn dutch because i just moved in belgium, the video is actually very good for begining, if you continue to do that it will be great. THUMBS UP
Why, that was quite well done. Nice.
Would you recommend any specific book for learning Dutch?
United States of America!
Hhahah Sorry but i don't like that Netherlands accent. People should learn the Belgian dutch :p
Coming from a dutch person I actually agree. In all honesty flemish is even more dutch than our dutch. They use less english words than we do.
RadioactiveGoose that is true, also the belgian dutch has alot of dialects with the flemish dialect is used out of grammar, you can take it as a 'different' language which is not but for a foreigner it is. They always used to say that Dutch is one of the hardest language to study.
Thanks as a Dutch person I while take that as a insult
since when u can take that as an insult? :)
U have to be proud if you can speak dutch or flemish lol
I'm taking the autodidact path on learning dutch. Got myself an app and everything. I don't find it to be much difficult, I like the accent also.

I am from the USA but I have learned German and can speak general day to day basic German well. If you are an English speaker and you have struggled learning German maybe know a bit, it really helps when you hear a lesson in Nederlands, you must try it!
Girl your videos are great and tank you very much for so much effort that you put into making them they are making me able to start learning and keep learning:)
Actually, 'de' and 'het' mean the same thing, and can be used in the same situations. The one you use depends on the noun you're using. For example: de koe, but het paard. Dictionaries will usually indicate in some way whether to use deor het. 'Een', finally, is unspecific, like 'a' or 'an' in English. We use it for any noun, for example: een koe, een paard.
thanks for your efforts and your nice methodology of teaching, please we want more lessons and video
yes but it is nice to show that you have atleast tried to learn there language, it puts a smile on their faces which is priceless :) it also shows that you have respect for the people and the country
Love it thank you! I'm from the US and i will be coming to live in the Netherlands for about 18 months so this is a GREAT jump start for me into the language:)
Subbed :) I've been wanting to learn Dutch for a long time, and this is very helpful. Thank you :)
Hoi :-) I just returned to Berlin today from Deventer NL. I have learned a little Dutch and your video is very helpful to reinforce and helps seeing the words written. Thank you. I shall be watching more.

You are a joy to watch, your body language is very warm and cheerful. I am American.
This is a great introductory Dutch video. Thank you very much.

I love your videos, they make it very easy to learn dutch! :)
Hi I find your videos so interesting. I have just started to study dutch for business/work purpose. I want to ask= can you please recommend any dutch grammar/text? thanks and greetings from southern part of Italy!
The diminutive version of nouns is always 'het.' Het kindje, het vrouwtje, het straatje, etc. It's tough but the only way to learn is by listening, reading and plenty of talking, even if you feel uncertain. At least it's not like French, where your adjectives also change depending on whether it's masculine (le) or feminine (la). In German there are three articles, die, der and das and they all change depending on their 'place' in a sentence, such as a subject.
So Dutch is still a blessing! :)
I LIKED THIS VIDEO...VERY HELPFUL...MY GRANDMOTHER IS DUTCH. HER AND HER 2 OTHER BROTHERS WHERE BORN AND (SOMEWHAT RAISED IN ARUBA) THEY MOVED TO THE STATES WHEN THEY HIT THEIR PRETEENS....SHE NEVER DID TEACH ME THE LANGUAGE, BUT I WOULD ALWAYS HERE HER SPEAK IT WITH HER 2 OTHER BROTHERS ALL THE TIME....SHE HAD A STROKE SO NOW SHE REALLY CANT REMEMBER MUCH OF THE LANGUAGE ANYMORE...UNTIL I STARTED LEARNING IT MYSELF...AND WHEN I SPEAK WHAT I DO KNOW TO HER, I SEE IT COMING BACK TO HER MEMORY.
Hello! I was just wondering.. could you make a playlist with your videos in the order you recommend someone learns these things from 0?
@ Gabriele: Yes, the "H" in "het" is to be pronounced. However you may choose to change "het" for 't. In that case you pronounce it as 'ut' . ( the 'u' is pronounced short. See also the chapter on Dutch vowels. ) In Dutch 'het' and 't means the same and is randomly used. Foreingn ears hardly hear the difference, but Dutch ears certainly do. In writing 't is hardly used.
I agree with renspks, you can definitely learn more than just the basics in a couple of months. There is a lot of information available online on Dutch and stuff if you're serious about learning it :)
you're adorable! thanks for the nice video. can you tells us if maybe you speak dutch from a specific variant? i can't help but think that you pronounce R's differently from what i read...
Thank you! I'm doing a class in dutch at college and you're being so super helpful. You're awesome :)
So good but wish there were pauses to try each sentence and then hear you say it again...Thanks so much for your lessons which I find myself going back to repeatedly!
thanks Andreia, so kind of you!
Hey! I am from Romania! Great video!! :)
WITH YOUR VIDEOS I CAN SEE MYSELF LEARNING THE THINGS I HAVEN'T LEARNED JUST YET, AND MAKE MY GRANDMOTHER PROUD THAT I'VE TAPPED INTO MY ROOTS/ FAMILY TREE., IM GONNA SUBSCRIBE TO YA, SO KEEP'EM COMING! :-)
hey what is the unfoal.word that you are using for the situation when is perfect.? when converte is really good or something simmilar... i jeard something between... wazagen or heselig or heselig?
It's called, gezellig. "GezÈllig".
@Sirgoldfish092: In England they spoke German because they were Angle Saxons which was a German tribe (Saxons = Sachsen). After the conquest of Great Britan by the Normans in the 12. Century who came from France and spoke Latin/French, English language was supplemented with french words. So they now have often a German and French word for the same thing like as an exemple: to see comes from German 'sehen' and to view comes from French 'voir'. That's why English can be difficult...so many words
It's because of the dutch grammar rules :)
when you/jij is in front of the verb we use the extra t.. but when it is behind the verb the "t" is not used :) I hope this answers your question :)
Very helpful, thank you! Cute presentation, too.
Hallo, Im just curious, since afrikaans in kinda dutch... does that mean you can have a convo with an afrikaaner..? Can jy virstaan/begrijpen afrikaans? of is dit anders?
Where are you from? On exchange once in Amsterdam from the US, the city seemed to have its own accent.
Thanks for this video. From Venezuela.
I am dutch and it is so funny and awesome that people from other countrys are intrested in dutch. Ik vind dat heel erg leuk!!
I love your video! Thanks a lot, it's very helpful!
what would u say if you wanted to ask “how old are you?” but formally?
Are you going to any video on Frisian which is sort a hybrid delict of german and Dutch , the language is not based old english it just sounds smiliar.?
You are such a good teacher. It helps me alot. I wish you will include words with opposites too. Like the following below:
1. achternaam - voornaam
2. alles - niets
3. arm - been
4. begin - einde
5. binnenkant - buitenkant
6. binnenland - buitenland
7. broer - zus8. dag - nacht
9. dames - heren
10. dood - leven
11. dorp - stad
12. geluk - ongeluk
13. hand - voet
14. honger - dorst
15. iemand - niemand
16. iets - niets
17. ingang - uitgang
I (usually) live in the Netherlands, which is where Dutch is spoken. For the past months, however, I have been on an exchange in the US.
It's very interesting the way how you teach. I'm really doing my best trying to learn the basic of Dutch and I hope some day I can write in Dutch too. Thanks to your lessons I can learn.
Greetings from Chile! Bye
hoi lidewij - what's "Austria" in dutch? =)
btw - your videos are very helpful, i watch them to prepare myself for the dutch-course i'm going to visit next octobre. so, thanks for that =D
love from austria,
babs
I'm part Dutch and I was inspired to learn the language from my grandfather who only spoke the language when he came to USA. So this video was helpful if I ever wanted to trigger a person. :D
Hallo, I am going to move to the Netherlands soon and I wonder if there are some sort of regional differences in Dutch? I guess I am going to learn the slang first when I move there instead of the actual Dutch.
jeremypascall
I think there are some significant differences in the Region of *Flanders*, but I'm not quite sure to what extent.
One of the main differences is the pronunciation of the letter G, in the north it is harder and more guttural. In the south it is like Flemish with a really soft G
Hoii! I find all your videos really useful ! I have friend in holland and they live in kampen, so I see you live near them ! It's nice to learn some proper Dutch instead of all the rude words my friends teach me haha ! E.g neuken in de keuken haha ! X
thank you for the video, it help me to learning dutch language so easily
Wonderful! I'm really struggling with the sch, schr words. I speak soooo slowly to make those. Any tips? I'm practicing a lot and can't wait to visit Nederlands when the Rona is gone.
❤ my people ❤
I like your accent a lot. It is a great combination of the Northern English-speaking countries in Northern Europe and those of North America.
I speak Spanish and German, too. It's very difficult for me to wrap my mind around a language so similar to English, and even regarding certain aspects of pronunciation.
This a pretty good tutorial. Was in Holland for three months and I heard and used all of these. Ik kom uit California. Lol. Only wish there was a tutorial out there for the Maastricht dialect (Mestreechs?). Anyway, thanks!
Dutch sounds so charming when you pronounce it ^_^ It can sound a bit "hard" sometimes when people speak, but I think it's a beautiful language. I'm norwegian myself. Trying to look at the similarities between the languages.
Wauw dit is geweldig wat je doet, ik kan veel van je leren door dit. Want zelf ben ik nu ook bezig om mensen te laten leren de Nederlandse taal en ik steek hier best veel van op.
Dank je..
Can you go over the chant type song that is sung to Queen Beatrix and her mother, Juliana, before her?
I'm Spanish and learning Dutch on my own.
I find it fairly easy (okay, I know to roll r's and say the g because of my native language, Spanish)
What I find hard in Dutch it's the pronunciation... I strive to say all those consonants one next to other, I'm struggling to learn the grammar constructions, too, but in general I think it is much easier to most of the languages... (I've learnt Basque, English, French and Finnish)
Tot Ziens and see you soon!
Thank you it's really nice
I'm a french student in Netherlands and I'm happy to learn this language.
jou program is die beste ek geniet dit baie.
