ASMR Austrian tries Dutch Vocabulary (Soft Spoken, Accent, Pointing & Tracing)

[@yato2180]

As a Dutch person, this gives me a lot of tingles. Please do more Dutch videos:)

[@MelangeASMR]

Thank you! Not really in Dutch, but I have a video with tracing a map of the Benelux states planned. :)

Knowing German and English, every time I try to learn Dutch my brain looks at the words and goes 'easy. this is like German, that is like English...' and as soon as I close the book I have no recollection of the Dutch language ;-) Will try again with your video - bonus challenge: stay awake! Thanks for the video!!!

[@MelangeASMR]

Ikr everything seems so obvious when you see the words spelled out, but maybe there is such a thing as too familiar? Plus I definitely wouldn't be able to learn both Dutch and Norwegian at the same time, they're so close, they'd just cancel each other out 😅 You're most welcome!!

Sometimes I still come back to this video, such amazing ASMR

I was reading somewhere the other day that Dutch and German have an 80% Lexical similarity, it's the grammar that are much different and that's where things get complicated. I don't speak either though so I can't really talk haha. Wonderful video I'm really enjoying all of your stuff!!

[@MelangeASMR]

Yeah, they diverged pretty late as languages. Spoken Dutch and Low German are basically a dialect continuum across the border (or used to be, I guess dialects don't fare well on either side), but for me both are difficult to understand haha. I'm very happy you liked it! Thank you for your lovely comments 💜

[@markprose2931]

That was cool! Dutch diphthongs such as “ui” or “ei” are notoriously hard to pronounce.

[@MelangeASMR]

Thank you! Dutch definitely has some tricky bits, I think especially for native German speakers - it looks more familiar than it is.

I’m late but I still wanted to say that I enjoyed this video so much!

[@MelangeASMR]

Thank you, Jolien, I appreciate that very much!

[@elaguilanegra4354]

Bedankt voor de video. Ik hou van je :)

[@MelangeASMR]

My pleasure 😇 Thank you for the request, I really enjoyed making this!

[@cilinix4548]

This is great asmr

[@cilinix4548]

Your pronounciation is great btw!!

[@MelangeASMR]

oh thank you, honestly didn't expect that haha!

[@MrArchoir]

German and Dutch are very similair, the main difference being that German sounds either like a military commander or very poetic and Dutch sounds like you're eating gravel. -Groeten uit Nederland

[@MelangeASMR]

Ahaha like gravel, I hadn't heard that before. I think most people around here think Dutch sounds really cute!

[@MrArchoir]

@@MelangeASMR and that's the first time I've heard that one

Not bad, not bad at all. Smiles Liebe grusse aus Holland

Whew glad to hear haha, thank you!

[@thealmightyswanklord9804]

Thats cool and all but can you speak grade A levels of Obsidian dialogue? good vid btw, made my ears cry again.

[@MelangeASMR]

I'd be happy to try but I have no idea what that is 😂 Poor ears!

[@thealmightyswanklord9804]
