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

@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).

I spent 1.5 weeks in Amsterdam, using public transportation, before the end of my trip I swear I was basically able to read it, and understand 1/3rd of what the locals were saying 😂. Dutch has to be the closest language to Americans/English speakers. Also by the end of my trip. Another weed thing about it was I was so adjusted to hearing Dutch and other foreign languages that when I heard a couple who were Americans from NY staying at my hostel speaking in American accents I looked at them confused, it took me about 10 seconds to figure out they were actually speaking “American” English. It sounded super weird, yes most people in Europe speak English but not hearing an American accent for awhile sounds super foreign and strange.

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.”

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.

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

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

i have been learning Dutch online on my own for the past 3 weeks. i am sooo pleased to see that i could understand very clearly everything everyone said on this video. i thought it was gonna be alot harder trying to keep up with real conversations. Nederlands is niet moeilijk!

[@rohanvolrath6284]

I'm so grateful for this video !!...it really launched my interest in learning this language ...nothing like learning it from the locals !!..... heel bedankt !!!

[@BigDogCountry]

Dutch is _way_ easier to learn than Spanish for me. Except for geen/niet. The syntax and words are very close. And you can guess pretty well in Duolingo. Vrouw=frau=woman, knew that. Jongen=Young'un in southern english=boy. I'm sure it will get more difficult as I go on, but so far, Dutch is easy peasy. Way ahead after 3 weeks and feel better about learning dutch than I feel after studying spanish for almost 40 years and can barely converse.

[@maxinepascal3501]

I'm encountering the same problem differentiating geen and Niet especially using it in a statement...they practically have the same meaning but not that similar I guess...did you figure it out eventually?

[@guybunchofnumbers123]

As a finland-swede this is very similar to swedish dialects in Finland for some reason

[@easylanguages]

thank you guys :) I wish I would have more focus and time to cooperate with you on this. I will have an Easy Dutch Translation group on Facebook and then I will invite you there so you could help us before it's too late.

[@julianwynne8705]

You could start by schooling your English: 'I wish I would have' is unidiomatic (to put it politely...) I wish I HAD... If I had...., I would ... [something]

@@eugeniasword1048 to czy nauczę sie holenderskiego czy nie, zależy tylko odemnie. Być może tego nie wiesz ale da się żyć w Holandii na wysokim poziomie nie mówiąc w ich języku ojczystym. Czy ty się o to założysz czy nie, nie ma żadnego wpływu na to że holenderski nie jest obowiązkowym językiem w Niderlandach, zwłaszcza dla mieszkańców UE.

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 ?"

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

Out of all the languages I have studied, I think Dutch is the easiest for an English speaker like me to learn because the grammar is similar to English grammar and pronunciation seems easy enough.

[@poookkkeeeemmmoonn]

This is very interesting. I'm a native English speaker and I've studied German a bit and the similarities are striking. The guttural or emphasis on the "g" feels weird though, and I don't quiet understand how I would pronounce that. I'm interested in picking up some Dutch. You can really see how German, English, and Dutch are all Germanic languages.

[@FenjaFemkeVeit]

maybe german is a bit more unique. english: later, dutch: later, german: später ^^

[@ToastbackWhale]

The g sounds like a velar fricative to me.

[@lars38010]

That is because English,Dutch and German are part of West Germanic Languages.

[@Akrafena]

@@ToastbackWhale the g is the /x/ sound

Thank you for the video. I am visiting the Netherlands this spring and this is helpful! The locals seems so friendly and happy. :)

[@JessicaLovesFoxes]

Thank you for this video.. Been seeing quite a few videos that have assisted my Dutch learning, I must say. I must say that I am quite confused why so many people dislike the Dutch language. In my opinion, in the right voice and pronunciation, Dutch is the most beautiful language, and I know it's different, but hey, that's what I love about it, actually... I've been taking lessons for a few months now, I believe, and yes, I realize that some of the sounds in the language are very guttural, but somehow, the language is very charming to me/my ears, and I'm starting to somewhat get the hang of it, thanks to many other instructional and informative videos. :3 I say, It makes me sad whenever people insult any languages at all, because every language is beautiful in their own ways. I know people have their opinions however... Nonetheless, I digress... I don't want to go on and on, but yeah, hopefully you all understand what I am trying to say. No offense meant to anyone.

[@paholainen100]

good point, totally agree. I don't like it when people say a language is ugly.

[@Rutherford_Inchworm_III]

German speakers that learn English as adults are usually very difficult to understand, especially those that never learned how to do the English language accent. They have the guttural "Dr. Strangelove" thing going on, lots of Vs for Ws and slurred phrases that shouldn't be slurred. Dutch who learn to speak English as adults are perfectly comprehensible, and even musical sounding.

As an english speaker, I can definitely hear the similarities, and can even discern that some of their accents almost have a British or American flair in some of the examples

Haha as a Dutch who visit Germany for the first time,i needed to get drunk in a german pub. After that,i was speaking it very wel. It could also work for you.

I think Dutch is more like Platduutsch. It's a pity Platduutsch isn't that popular with young people because it's a bridge between Niederländisch und Hoch-Deutsch.
