Dutch Pronunciation, Video 1: Dutch Phonetics & Spelling (2021, new version)

This is the first of a three-part series on Dutch pronunciation. The goal is to quickly familiarize you with the sounds of Dutch and the IPA symbols for those sounds. You'll then be able to learn them faster, either through your own studies or through the Fluent Forever app.
Note that this video replaces an older Dutch pronunciation video we shared in 2016 • Dutch Pronunciation, V... .
Please refer to this new video as you learn Dutch. It's our most up-to-date trainer, and it's what is used in our app.

thank you for using professional language, transcription signs and schemes to describe the sounds, it makes understanding so much easier. most of the videos on YT offer you to just repeat without actually explaining what's going on. would also love to see mouthing closeups but still - this video is excellent

[@FluentForeverApp]

The dutch 'Sj' like in 'Sjaal' is just like the 'Xi' in chinese, this really helps!

Happy to help!

[@joadsonmatias2610]

We need the new version of the phonetic description of the other languages and new ones. This is an excellent work!

We're happy to hear you found it useful! 😀

Loving the fresh look

[@FluentForeverApp]

Thanks for stopping by! 🙌

I'm very pleased to stumble across this since I just started learning Dutch, but the audio quality on this is bad in places... much too heavily compressed, at least on Gabe's parts. Is there a better quality version somewhere else? Dank je wel!

[@FluentForeverApp]

Hi Chris, this is the only version currently. We're sorry for any audio issues; hopefully, you'll still be able to get the information you need from it 🙂

[@memo6032]

Please make a video for the Turkish language

Very helpful. I took notes. But it also seems you left out the sound of 'd' at the end of words, which is often like 't'. I observe that Dutch 'wind' is pronounced something like 'vint' as an English speaker would say that spelling. In other words, a final 'd' seems a bit reduced from 'd' in other start or middle locations. Comments? ejt

[@Hwelhos]

i actually pronounce both f and v as v word initially and say sjaal as [sʃɐːʟ] and [sʃɪps], chip, jus and gin r said as [tjɪp], [ʒu] and [dʒɪn] i usually use the correct one, [r], word finally its sometimed /ɾ/ and sometimes /ɽ/, having [buːʊɾ] also /ʋ/ can be pronounced [w] word initially before o and u, like in [wɔrt]

[@FluentForeverApp]

Thanks for sharing!

[@420olof2]

How to spell word in Dutch

[@MK-mm7ui]

Theres a lot of mistakes with the IPA in this video

[@FluentForeverApp]

Hi there! We'd be happy to look into this. Could you please provide a couple of examples via email at [e-mail]? That way, we can get any errors reported and fixed. Thanks so much!

[@pallieterbeer168]

As a native Dutch speaker I found that terribly hard to understand. Some of the sounds appeared totally foreign to my ears. I regret just spending money on a 2 year subscription to follow Spanish following your program. I thought I check out what you have to say about the pronunciation. What can I say: not impressed. 🤨

[@FluentForeverApp]
