My wife is Danish and I am English and also fluent in Danish. I can recognise quite a few Dutch words as they are the same or similar to Danish. I think I could learn Dutch quite easily...lol. Also, we have a nice Dutch couple as next door neighbours and I try and impress them by throwing in a couple of Dutch words here and there. Mooi video, dank je vel

[@TheDutchcountryside]

Thank you so much :) They say that we got some pretty similar languages yes, but also English and Dutch are pretty related too. So if you combine English and Danish, then I think you could pick it up really quick yes. And keep impressing the Dutchies, we're always very surprised (in a good way) as soon as someone not from here speaks a bit of our language :)

[@doktoruzo]

@@TheDutchcountryside ..Thanks for your reply Manon. Yes, the Dutch are probably the closest culturally and linguistically to the English than any others. I was always amazed by how many people spoke English in The Netherlands. I have been enjoying your videos. Thank you.

Great video... When we took the train from Utrecht one day to travel to some other cities.. (LOVE their train system!!).... when we stopped at Gouda and the train conductor said the name of our location, I was 😲"whaaAAAAaaaaat"?? ....Fortunately, a second later we pulled up to the station sign which says "GOUDA" on it. We were there for a few minutes, so I asked one of the guys working on the train if he could pronounce it again.. He got a kick out of it, told me how to say it again, then told me not to worry about it... that almost all Americans like me never get it right.. LOL! 😆

[@TheDutchcountryside]

Hahah, I can imagine the surprise of hearing the real pronounciation after hearing the English pronounciation all your life. But yeah, we understand that not everyone can pronounce it the Dutch way (obviously- it's a different language haha). Also, I'm very glad to hear that you travelled to different cities in The Netherlands: most people tend to only visit Amsterdam and miss out on so much!

[@funkfreeze]

Thank you for correcting my goo-dah cheese addiction. From now on I will be addicted to h'kgg'ow-dah cheese.

[@TheDutchcountryside]

Hahaha, you’re very welcome!😂🤣

[@jsnpilgrim]

I like the presentation. I really like the website. I took Dutch as a second language when I worked in Holland (It is a sweet language indeed) and Manon reminds me of my first teacher.😀

[@mohammedamine2712]

As an Arabic speaking it is very easy for me to pronounce the G and CH etc.

[@TheDutchcountryside]

Ahh, that’s right yes! You have those sounds in Arabic too🙌🏻

[@cems7258]

I have never seen somebody pronouncing city names and having enjoyed that much :D very lekker

[@TheDutchcountryside]

Hahaha, I had a lot of fun filming this one (mainly because I felt so ridiculous hahaha)

[@northernbloke]

Ah should have watched this before I made my first vid about The Netherlands :)

[@jackhaigh5731]

Studying abroad in Amsterdam, this is so helpful!!

[@sweetINFINITY369]

Dutch is amazing...thank you so much!🙏🇳🇱❤️🙂

[@TheDutchcountryside]

So glad you like it!!

[@NFT_TX]

Love the way you explain it. ❤️Thank u.

[@jimtonimarin]

I started my career working for a Dutch Anglo corporation and I was lucky to be able to have lots of time in Netherlands and loved the easy to use trains to take me to Gouda; yes HOWWDAH. North to das Scheveningen for which I'd never use the whimp version, Den Hague. That town name was used to ferret out if you were truly Dutch or a German (Nazi). That was the easy part of my times there: try properly saying the Welsh town of Llangollen!

[@aak8297]

I lived in Gouda for a short time, but had no idea about the pronunciation. Thanks

[@TheDutchcountryside]

I hope you enjoyed Gouda, it’s such a lovely city! And I’m glad I could help!😄

[@roscluaran]

Thank you for the correct pronunciations as that will be a big help!😁🌷

[@valdemarmarbus8012]

Nice to hear the dutch cities pronouncing correctly for me no problem i was born in Utrecht thank you your youtube was well presented well done

[@TheDutchcountryside]

Thank you for the nice comment!

[@janinek-something7936]

Thank you! I will always remember the man at the ticket office in Schipol airport trying to teach me Nijmegen 😂 at least Scottish, we can do the throat bit 🤣 we were then advised by the conductor on the train that we had got the wrong train, we were on the 2mins to the hour, ours was on the hour! In our country if the train is there it’s a miracle! At least we still got to Nijmegen! Is it the NS travel app that’s best? I lost my apps from last trip over, but it was a lifesaver, also my rail card…will need to get a new one next time. Love your country though, will try learning the names, will make train rides less scary as some of these place names sound nothings like my brain thinks they should sound! 🤣

[@vdrperformance8980]

finnaly, how hard is it to say gouda. big up girl , just found your videos and i really like them. keep up the good work, from a netherlands living in sweden :)

[@TheDutchcountryside]

Haha I think it is always difficult if you don't know the language, just like we would have trouble pronouncing other cities in languages we aren't familiar with :)

[@MrBadGuyLEC]

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU & YOUR LOVE ONES!

[@somebodynamedJ.]

As a German this was surprisingly easy for me

[@TheDutchcountryside]

Haha amazing! I always notice a 50/50 divide with Germans: half is like 'easypeasy' and the other half is having a more difficult time.

[@davidvan585]

Leuk video dank je

[@TheDutchcountryside]

Fijn om the horen. Thank you! :)

[@sovereigndavid8615]

Leuk video

[@gaditya4625]

Bedankt, this is very helpful to many people like me who are learning the language

[@TheDutchcountryside]

Graag gedaan! Succes!

[@petermaardananders6803]

Leuke uitleg voor de Engelstaligen, maar Breukelen is niet voor niets Brooklyn geworden en die uitleg was toch ook wel op zijn plaats geweest. Tuurlijk is Keukenhof wel een goede hint voor onze ""eu"" klank, maar toch ;) Als je nog zo'n video maakt neem dan aub Breukelen, Stroopwafel mee in die video. Ik heb deze uitleg van jou aan yt ""Its Charlie Vest"" doorgegeven, hij is bezig om Nederlands te leren en is zeer in ons koudekikkerlandje geintresseerd en besteed veel aandacht aan wie, wat en hoe etc. wij zijn. Wellicht wel leuk voor je om te zien wat hij allemaal al heeft geplaatst over ons :) Veel succes ermee :)

[@TheDutchcountryside]

Goede ideeën, zal ik zeker doen! Dank je 😄

[@julianabueno4421]

😍

[@sroberts605]

So, listening to you pronounce things like the g in gouda with a very different sound to my English pronunciation, I'm thinking back the Roman (Latin?) alphabet and thinking did each linguistic tree just use the alphabet to their own established sounds? How would Gouda sound in Latin? How would a Spaniard today pronounce it, etc....?

[@acusticajax3618]

13:59 for Leiden :)

[@bayer54]

Oh gosh ! I am going to Amsterdam in 2 weeks and I don’t think I can say any of these 🤣

[@mettacitta2000]

My pronunciation of 'Schiphol' is too rude to ever be used in public 😂😂

[@TheDutchcountryside]

Hahaha, now I want to hear it😂

[@ItsMeMarieClaire]

19:17 Keukenhof

[@kylafletcher2487]

[@wiesawszelagowski2257]

In Polish hauda means dump:)

[@TheDutchcountryside]

Hahah thank you for that, I will make sure to keep that in the back of my mind when I travel to Poland!

[@SethOmegaful]

Wait... is Uthred the same as Utrecht?

[@TheDutchcountryside]

What do you mean by Uthred? I'm confused haha. As the pronounciation is not Uthred, since you're missing the gutteral 'g' sound in there.

[@user-yw4fz6xk2j]

Yes but why is the intonation Amsterdám and then Rótterdam? This is nuts🤪

[@TheDutchcountryside]

It’s probably my own accent & dialect creeping in haha; my dialect is Westfries and we have a lot of dialects in the country, so people often pronounce things different. I tried to keep it as general as I could.

[@sergiovazquez8599]

I find Dutch harder than German 😅. Specially the “sv” words 🥴

[@jsanch4892]

Wow, you are beautiful.

[@CarinaPrimaBallerina]

In Denmark everyone says "gow-da" .. I like the Dutch pronunciation better

[@MettPitt]

I was goin to say exactly the same thing... We Germans say it the danish way...or say it the danish people the German way? Who knows? 😂😂

[@jhannuzs]

Push the Gouda away 🤣🤣🤣 Nee, ik hou van Gouda kaas in my brain
