[@boxsterman77]

I'm in a more advanced stage of learning German, but I'm starting to learn Dutch because I have Dutch friends and I'm traveling to the Netherlands soon. I've actually lived in the Netherlands for a short time--regrettably I was amongst only English speakers and I hadn't the time to learn Dutch. The one problem I have with Dutch is motivation. I know that my German would be useful on trips to Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. I also know from experience that almost everyone in the Netherlands speaks English. IN fact, I've never met one that didn't. So, given that learning a language is hard and because everyone in the Netherlands speaks English AND the fact that Dutch isn't a global language on the scale of, say, German, French or Spanish, I finds myself often asking "why am I doing this again?" But the great thing about learning Dutch, especially if you have some knowledge of German, is that it is easy to pickup. Its grammar is far less complicated than German yet so many words are cognates or near-cognates between those two Germanic languages. The real trick is the challenging (for me) pronunciation. Where I was stationed in the Netherlands, Limburg Province, they almost all spoke 1) Dutch (of course), 2) English, 3) German and, 4) French.

[@niltonkenneph3538]

What a beautiful language. This is my first time ever listening to it and to be honest it sounds so nice!!

[@johnverhoef]

Goedendag in formal parts is hardly used anymore and just sound weird to the Dutch. To be honest, I heard it only a handful of times in my life and frankly, it kinda creeps me out. Also, the n in Goeden is hardly ever pronounced, except in goedenavond. It sounds extremely weird imo. Better would be to indeed use the parts of the day: Goede-morgen, -middag, goedenavond. Goedenavond is a bit of an ugly duckling in this pond as it can be used as greeting as well as a goodbye. Pay attention to tv programs in the evening: the presenter starts with goedenavond and ends with goedenavond. At night, goedenacht IS used, but only in sparse occasions as a goodbye. When people go to sleep, one usually says simply "welterusten", meaning good night or sleep well. When it's past midnight and you know the people won't be sleeping any time soon, say goedenacht. Generally you can just say "hallo" when visiting people, it generally doesn't matter what the occasion is. This can even further informalized by saying "hoi". Since everything is pretty informal in the Netherlands, goedemiddag has become basically informal as well. Tot ziens is rather formal, but somehow acceptable: you'd say it when leaving an job interview, a customer, shop or business. You can also say: doei, doeg, dag (with a long "a" as if there were 2 or 3 a's in the word); and, depending on the area you're in, aju or ajuus is also very acceptable (aju comes from the french "adieu" - you will find that Dutch has a lot of french words and expressions on loan).

Johann Fer tjah dat is wel jammer he, nederlands is een zeer mooie taal.

[@zandrewmorano10]

@@johannfer7073 Dutch is a beautiful language, but you should always treasure your Bahasa Indonesia, as it is the official language of your country. As a Filipino, I am learning Spanish too, but I do not regret or am disappointed that people don't speak Spanish anymore because we are not Spanish people in the first place.

Hahaha that’s awesome! I’m from South Africa and would love to learn Dutch. We have Afrikaans here and it’s there are so many similarities, except Dutch sounds a bit funny to me now that I’ve heard it’s diction. Although I’m not that greatest at Afrikaans, it’s fun to know that they so close. To the Dutch bro’s, please tell me if you can understand the following: Ek is van Kaapstad, Suid Afrika en dit is so mooi hier. Dit sal wonderlik wees as ons kan lesse uitruil. Ek is seker dat julle sal my verstaan, selfs al lyk die woorde ‘n bietjie anders. Ek hoop dat julle al ‘n heerlike dag het 🔥🔥

[@rock078901]

When I pronounce "G" , I feel like spitting . Is it normal?

[@ekossomaliva]

I'm learning too. Looks like without some phlegm in your throat, you've failed your parents.

[@Petrolheadish]

Don't try too hard. Belgian native speakers of Dutch don't use that horrible sound, so you don't have to do it either ;)

[@petercdowney]

It's basically like the ch in Welsh or Scottish Gaelic (as in "loch"), but voiced.

[@alice-lx2uw]

No Because The G's In Dutch Are Sometimes Like, Said Differently

[@lucius1976]

No, you do it wrong then. You should only spit inside of your mouth when pronouncing it, not outside!

7:10 You missed goede middag which is good afternoon. Goedendag is rather a greeting you can use all throughout the day, as it is not specific to a part of the day.

[@BMW-car-best10ST]

thank you very much i just looking at just your video

[@bobvanwest]

We grew up speaking Dutch, however, some of the pronunciations you do were not what we learned. For example 4 vier, you pronunce it with a definte "v" sound and we grew up with a "f" sound. Our parents were born in Indonesia (Dad in Jakarta and Mom in Bandung) could that be the difference in the dialect difference?

[@troychirashe4000]

Bob Van West they also use V kinda like F in Amsterdam and different parts in NL

[@Needlestitch]

pronouncing vier with an f sound sounds to me like an indo variation.

[@shendimerlinda8258]

pardon my grandma also born in Indonesia and she speak dutch, the dialect sounds same.

[@wheeliebin1791]

These are great, but I'm confused on a few things. Firstly, which formality should I use with waiters, shopkeepers and anyone who's working in customer service? Should I be quite formal but not super formal? I've heard people say informal is okay, but I don't know. Secondly, do you pronounce the -n on the end of words like 'negen' and 'jongen?' I can't tell if it's not there or if it's similar to the -ng in 'sing.' Thirdly, how much will I be laughed at if my pronunciation is off? I feel like my pronunciation​ is acceptable but I'm scared lmao

[@raccoon6072]

Alice Reading hi, in/formality in the Netherlands outside business situations determined by where you feel comfortable with. Formal welcome is appreciated but not as strict as in most other countries.

[@petermurray2894]

I am glad that the formel form (hoflikheidsvorm) still exists in Dutch and German. We had it in Afrikaans as well, but the influence of English in South Africa killed our good manners. In the good olden days, we used to say:"Hartlik dank vir uw gasvryheid vriendelikheid en hulpvaardigheid!" Today, the word "u" or "uw" does not exist anymore, and people are not polite anymore. Many people do not even use the words "thank you". Modern Afrikaaners watch a lot television, and 95% of our programs come from England and the USA. There our children learn how to be disrespectfull, and how to destroy their own mother-language.

[@Fallen_sunset]

With the words 'negen' and 'jongen' we say the n and we have lots of people who are new to our language and who's pronunciation isn't perfect. We are used to it and even if some people switch into English if they know you speak that better many people are only suprised/happy you know our language.
