[@sednonsatia]

I really appreciate that when you speak Dutch you say the words clearly. I have a very low level of Dutch but it's nice to practice picking out words and guessing the meaning and grammar structure just from listening.

That's great to hear!

[@jonahwhitt9777]

You are incredible Kim! I’m learning Dutch and am hoping to afford my own personal Dutch tutor one day. But I am learning so much from you!! You do this so well!

[@akramhamza2600]

Ten eerste: bedankt Kim, je hebt de zaken vereenvoudigd door een soort systeem te maken om je te laten zien hoe je de identifiers gebruikt. Omdat we onze leraren altijd naar de identificatiehulpmiddelen hebben gevraagd en niemand die heeft geantwoord. Ten tweede denk ik dat wie de taal wil onderwijzen, er eerst vaardig in moet zijn, ervan moet houden en de informatie aan de doelpartij moet kunnen leveren. Veel succes altijd. Met dank

[@nancyh.3382]

Kim, I am so glad I found your videos!!! Your amazing talent for teaching Dutch has been so helpful to me! Not only have you been helping me to much better understand some of the most confusing parts of learning Dutch that Babbel does not explain, your slower, very concise and clear speech has been helping me to greatly improve my listening skills! I really appreciate you!

[@Karlinski73]

This was VERY useful! Dank je wel. I am learning Dutch on Duolingo at the moment and I continually fail on putting DE or HET on the correct words. I will subscribe to this channel and use in addition as it explains a lot of the difficulties a lot better than Duolingo does. I also strongly agree with the comment below about you speaking the Dutch words very clearly; it really helps to pick the words out.

[@RedCygnes14]

X2! I'm subscribing the channel to "complete" my Duolingo lessons 🤣.

[@Walter.Quiroz]

I'm also learning Dutch on Duo. Something helping me now is to learn singular nouns along with their article. It helped me a lot when learning German. Another thing is to choose a colour for the ’het' words and another for the 'de' ones.

[@mrs.k5971]

You strike the perfect balance between English and Dutch and are SO animated - it's exactly what I need for where I am!

I started to learn Dutch this year and you have helped me so SOOOO much! Thank you so much for your lessons! They are really helpful, and the idea of speaking Dutch with subtitles is AWESOME! I have some ideas for the channel, if you don't mind hahaha Some ideas are 1)making vocabulary videos (for example, a lesson about animals and about animals common in Neederlands) 2) A vlog (this helps A LOT with our vocabulary, cuz is useful for our lives) 3) specific topics you enjoy speaking Dutch (makeup, books, etc) Well,just some ideas! Sending you love from Brazil🇧🇷 xoxo❤️

[@stanleysheppard8464]

This general classification of het and de words and the exceptions are very useful to know, but to use correct forms fluently in a sentence as you speak is only possible with training yourself to recognize what sounds right and what doesn't, as you do it in your native language without thinking of rules. But thanks in any case for making this video. I studied Dutch living in the Netherlands in the early nineties and don't recall this topic being presented to us in such a categorized way in the language school I attended. But I also have to compliment that evening language school. More than 30 years have passed and I still completely understand all of your lessons where you speak only Dutch.

I just found an interesting example 'geding'. It starts with 'ge-' (a rule for het-word) but ends with '-ing' (a rule for de-word). And finally it is [het] geding!

[@learndutchwithkim]

Yes! Dutch is the language of exceptions.. :( but I think it’s because now ge- is in front on a noun (ding) and not making a verb a noun, so perhaps that’s why it’s an exception. It’s also het ding :)
