Dutch sounds like a German person learning French

[@fishandchips8813]

As a native English speaker with some, albeit limited, German and an interest in old English and the Scandinavian languages, Nederlands has always fascinated me. It seems that either I get the gist of what people are saying to me, or feel like I really should have. I genuinely enjoy the way it sounds. At first, it's the guttural consonants that draw your attention, but those are pretty easy and can even sort of serve as a marker in a word or sentence to keep you from losing your way. What I find difficult to reproduce are the vowel sounds. Some of them seem to hover tantalizingly just out of reach...langzamer alstublieft spreken

[@danzillestrauss5857]

It is extremely similar to Afrikaans. So much, that I fully understood everything. This is the language we speak in south Africa, And Namibia.

[@parkergiele]

Afrikaans -ofcourse- came from Dutch. You could say it was an accent or dialect that spend so much time on it’s own that it became it’s own language

[@robinsalario4372]

it is the other way around.

[@kristinejames9812]

@Danzille Strauss...I totally agree Danzille.I'm English and more or less understood each sentence just by having learnt German fuhr ein jahre ins schül (over 45 years ago). I just love all languages and wish that I were multi-lingual in many.The sad thing is that we are not given many language options in school in England (or at least we weren't in my day),therefore many English people become lazy,I think and just expect to not need to try when abroad. Once,when I was on holiday,I thought I heard a lady in my hotel speaking in German and therefore spoke to her in German for the whole week.We managed to communicate pretty well but it wasn't until leaving when she overheard me speaking to my partner that she realised that I wasn't German and I realised that neither was she.She was in fact from South Africa! We both had such a laugh when we realised our mistake.

[@Rutherford_Inchworm_III]

That explains why Afrikaans also has a lot of cognates with English that make it easier to guess at. If you don't know why a certain antelope is called the "springbok", you can probably guess it has to do with jumping (which it does).

[@irondasgr]

Οοοοοοh I love Dutch people. They are so straightforward yet kind and happy.

[@lyfelessemo]

As an English speaker, natively, Dutch, as written, seems like a mixture of English and German. Therefore, much of the vocabulary if you pay attention is quite similar.

[@Widdekuu91]

@@BigDogCountry Yes :) Well, there were 2-3 years in school before I started autodidacting (or whatever it'd be called) but to be honest, in school I only learned how to say 'Hallo, I am Emma and I am from the Netherlands and I like to draw and to paint.' The reading was practiced more than the speaking or writing and those are things I defineately learned on my own. Same goes for random Japanese, Swedish or French songs that I liked.

[@Oli414]

Just a small note: I'm dutch myself and a lot of sentences are incorrectly translated. For example 'I love it' is 'Ik hou ervan' in dutch, not 'Ik hou van het', she translated it literally which is not the way to translate.

[@Yasmin-jo1js]

Thanks for your notice, so if "Ik hou ervan" means "I love it" what does " Ik hou van het" means ? What is the difference between them ?

[@knightarnaud]

"I love it" literally means "ik hou van het", but this is not the way we say it. People usually say "ik hou ervan". I'm not Dutch though, but Belgian so maybe we say it in a different way.

[@Kleo3392]

Yassmin Mahmoud “Ik hou van het” is just grammatically incorrect. In Dutch, when a preposition introduces a neutral third person pronoun, the prepositional phrase is turned into a pronominal adverb, which is the adverb “er” or “daar”, depending on whether the pronoun is weak or strong, respectively, or “hier” if the pronoun refers to an object near the speaker, put together with the preposition itself, so “van het” becomes “ervan”, and “van dat” becomes “daarvan”, and “van dit”, becomes “hiervan”. If there are other adverbs in the sentence, however, the pronominal adverb is separated and the adverb goes in between, so “Ik hou er niet van.”

[@user-gt8mc4kb8x]

How are you

[@melb1666]

Crazy how similar Dutch is to German. I was able to understand a lot.

[@lianaramarosandy5437]

it sounds so good!!!

[@user-gt8mc4kb8x]

How old are you?

[@learnurduwithsara1068]

Wao this was my first video about Dutch language. Such a short video but learned a lot.

[@johnnyhaselnuss9808]

I‘m german and I try to learn dutch. Because I also speak english pretty well, it‘s very easy because the grammar is almost the same as it is in german and many many words sound similar to english/german words I already know. I just love the dutch :)

[@ihsahnakerfeldt9280]

The similarities are so huge that it mostly just becomes a matter of adapting yourself to a new "mode" where things are pronounced differently and the grammar is slightly different. It's more that than actually learning a new language.

[@reieben886]

This is unique, i hear it like mix between German and French

[@josecabaltera1625]

that was fun :) Es hat viel spass gemacht! Dat was leuk!

[@user-bb9bc9cj6e]

Dank u wel. Ik heb veel geleerd.

[@franciscarroll7100]

I watch this evey day

[@batavuskoga]

I'm a Dutch native speaker from the Flanders, north side of Belgium. "Ik hou van het", you don't say it like that in the Flanders, there you say "Ik hou ervan" "Wat is u naam ?" should be "Wat is uw naam ?"

[@PetraStaal]

Een Noorderbuur hier. Ik snap ook niet waarom die vrouw "Ik hou van het" zei. Ze klonk als een moedertaalspreker. Het is absoluut incorrect.

[@aprainaful]

Good teacher

[@khalidshinwari301]

Very nice lesson

[@hectorbalmaseda7690]

Los neerlandeses , en general, son gente muy amable. Da gusto darse una vuelta por allí. No hay más que ver el vídeo.

[@user-qd3jj3ce1k]

Hi were are. You from

[@MazzazzK]

I think it sounds nice! Besides, cool way to get acquainted with the language! :)

[@martinpettersson4828]

Good work

[@Geniuso-Mind_33.]

Wow that is great video thank you very much 😊😌

[@FranciSketches1509]

I speak German, and I would understand it all without subtitles, cuz it’s soo similar!

[@mistrants2745]

To the people saying this is a mix of German and English, youre not too far off. German, English, Frisian and Dutch have a common ancestor and are very closely related. However Dutch is the most similar to the original ancestor language. Dutch is actually really easy to learn for anyone from a country with a germanic language. The only hard part is the guttural pronunciation.

[@MyYoyoyoyoyo12345]

As an American trying to learn German and Dutch I find the pronunciation easy aside from the gutteral rolling r that is specific to those languages, can’t seem to get it right.

[@learnarabicforforeigners2316]

Cool its amazing l love Dutch language

[@pistolpete7280]

This was really cool video!

[@Sarah-kc3fb]

I love dutch, i don't know what People are saying here in the comments. One of the most beautiful languages for me.

[@Dreamsparanoid]

u right, wanna learn Spanish? I would like to learn Dutch with someone :D we can make a deal :D

[@Sarah-kc3fb]

Sounds like a cool deal, but i don't speak dutch xD

[@jugglejunk]

Sarah Eberhard I do, we could do this as a three-way thing (so far I count three people, you, me and Cristian). I teach you guys some Dutch and you teach me one of the following languages if you can: Japanese (although I allready know some), Korean, Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Thai, Hindi/Urdu, Arabian, Farsi/Persian, Ests, Turkish (tried it before cause I promised my Turkish cousin I'd be able to speak with him in Turkish if he would learn some Dutch), Italien or Spanish (also tried it). If there's a different language that you know that might also work, except for English, that I allready know. If you don't well I'm pretty sure we can find someone who'd like to join in as well. if your interested my skypename is aito_ikunoka ;) hou doe (dialect: for bye or cya. comes from the phrase houd je goed but was simplified over the years to hou doe or doei.)

[@jugglejunk]

sure we can chat. If you've got skype just send me a friend request and we can chat my skype name is aito_ikunoka

[@beatolympics]

[@laba1574]

I thought "Wait, this place seems kinda familiar" and then i looked in the description and saw it's Enschede. Love from germany, 30 minutes drive to Enschede.

[@kenw524]

Here in Belgium we also speak Dutch (Flemish) but we have a completely different accent.

[@r.v.b.4153]

Here elsewhere in the Netherlands, we also speak Dutch, but we have a completely different accent from the people in the video.

[@edwinvanderkooij8713]

The Flamish dialect is one of many Dutch dialects. Flamish is spoken in Belgium and in Zeeuws Vlaanderen in the Netherlands).

[@antoinebeauman6645]

The Netherlands has about 625 dialects.

[@SideWalkAstronomyNetherlands]

yeah flemish sounds more like hollandish western dutch, not like the eastern low saxon dutch you hear in this video

[@nunzionapolitano581]

@@antoinebeauman6645 evey language has its accents

[@sealofapoorval7437]

As someone who speaks English and who recently learnt German I think Dutch should be a piece of cake

[@mishmish5333]
