This man is teaching in peaceful manner.. I don’t know but it’s encouraging

[@andrefers1]

Please get back to making these videos. By far, the best teacher on KZbin.

[@kevinaylward3677]

Clear explanations. No background music to distract. Well done, bedankt

[@profealexandrasierra]

Why don't you continue to post videos? You are a very good teacher ❤

[@LearnDutchwithNiels]

I received several requests for this video over the past years, so here it is!. I decided to shoot the video while on my trip in northern Germany. It's a little more work than recording in my living room, but I hope it's worth the extra effort. Let me know what you think!

[@sexymate8654]

jouw videos zij absolute geweldig!!!

[@LearnDutchwithNiels]

Dank je wel!

[@jensenex9270]

It's definitely worth it, nice scenery for a video like that.

[@mariadebake5483]

Waar in Duitsland was dat?

[@madziabis1]

How come had I never before noticed that het, dit, dat all end with t? This is so obvious now and knowing it makes it so much easier to remember! Thanks!

[@madhulinasaha5418]

Your videos are a GOLDMINE. Truly indebted to you for your in depth explanations & citing examples. I don't know why you stopped making videos altogether but the subscribers of your KZbin fraternity will be hugely benefitted if you restart the lessons. I have a problem with We & Wij, He and Hij, Ze and Zij. I don't know when should I put stress on and use Hij, wij & zij. Also I face problem using adjectives. For eg: klein- kleine, bruin-bruine...I just get puzzled when to use klein and when to put that extra e... Please try to upload one or two lessons once in a while. My heartiest regards to you.

[@ranakayacan3859]

You have to continue teaching Dutch! You're the most amazing teacher I've ever seen! Your way of teaching is not just about teaching; you are helping us acquire the essentials, become aware of the logic, and apply it meaningfully.

[@anabondarenco5175]

Best teacher so far!

[@stubborntommy]

Jouw lessen zijn top. Duidelijk en helder. Bedankt.

[@michaelvandemolegraaf8124]

Brilliant videos Niels! Thank you

[@tamarapas]

I wish I had something to give you for making these.... As a single mom from America trying to learn Dutch by myself.... You sir are wonderful ❤❤

[@seventyfour1833]

Hi Niels, you have made this so simple. I knew that the same words were used for "this" and "that" in the plural forms for both "de" and "het" words, but never associated it with the fact that all plurals are "de" ! Your explanation has made this so easy, Thank you very much indeed.

[@pinky8153]

I am a beginner in the Dutch language and it is so good to learn from you, which is very essential for a newcomer like me. Thank you

[@priyavverma]

Hey Niels, Your videos are amazing. You're a great teacher. Will you be making more soon? I'm studying dutch in Belgium and I usually learn more from your 10 minute videos than 3 hour lessons :P

[@derejegodana]

[@marcoscholtz]

Thank you for this! These words were driving me crazy!

[@LearnDutchwithNiels]

I'm glad it helps!

[@legaleagle46]

Yeah. The difficulty is that "deze" looks as though it should always be plural because it's a cognate of "these," while "dit" is clearly a cognate of "this." So when I want to say "this man," I feel that I should be saying "dit man" rather than "deze man." "Deze mannen," of course, makes perfect sense for "these men"!

[@mariadebake5483]

@@legaleagle46 That's because you look at it with English eyes. Better not!

[@samiyaahmed3410]

Waaaw you are a good teacher 😁

[@FnordFutplex]

Wow, thanks for this video. I have been learning Dutch in the Duolingo course and they do not explain this. Without an explanation, the usage seems completely arbitrary. But it turns out it just comes down to whether it's a "de-" word or a "het-" word. This table is all that was needed to explain it.

[@whispz2590]

thats why i dont like duolingo it doesnt teach you to how to catch a fish rather it teaches how to eat it, which is obviously worse

[@TKY-NL]

Thank you so much for such a useful tip! I arrived in the Netherlands at the end of 2019 shortly before the epidemic, and haven't been able to start learning Dutch properly except some self-studies with apps. I'll check out your Patreon page too. Thanks!

[@Dracblau21]

AWESOME! finally I learned the use of the articles! Thank u very much!!!!!!!!!!!

Dank je wel! (Je zin is perfect, trouwens ;-)

Ik wil al jouw video over niet en geen kijken

[@LearnDutchwithNiels]

Die zal komen! Het is een moeilijk onderwerp, dus het zal veel tijd kosten om de video te maken.

[@nieuwehorizonten9279]

thank you for the effort

[@helenchen5019]

i am, and i believe most Dutch learners are, dying for all about "dit, dat, deze, die" as they absolutely link to "het & de" - another tiger on our way to Ducth language beside the pronunciation of "R"! But really thank you for all the lessons and your effort!

[@LearnDutchwithNiels]

I hope the video helped you with that, Helen. If you have any further questions about dit/dat/deze/die, let me know! I might make a video about the R in the future, but there are many (correct) ways of pronouncing it, depending on the accent and the region.

[@tedmclorg6730]

All your lessons are very good. Erg goed

[@LearnDutchwithNiels]

Dank je wel Ted!

[@tjainaiscool9348]

ooooh die zin is bijna goed! (ooooh that sentence is almost correct!) you need to use deze instead of dit, but it's okay :) everyone can learn and if you say this to someone they will probably still understand it :)

Thanks!

[@celestialshipper9425]

Learn Dutch with Niels! Do you think you could do a video on how to learn vocabulary that we always tend to forget, or about very basic grammar? Since I started learning Dutch on my own not while ago these would be very helpful! But if you can't there's no problem, thank you for the content on this channel!

[@Creatingequilibrium]

Really well done.

[@LearnDutchwithNiels]

Thanks!

[@mrwizzardknight]

Dankuwel voor jouw hulp meneer! 😃😃😃😃 Yeah, I got that wrong! Didn't I?! 😂😂😂

[@tjainaiscool9348]

almost correct, you're using formal and i formal in one sentence. if you wanted it to be formal you need to say uw instead of jouw, but i don't think anyone would mind if you made this mistake and everything would know what you ment :)

[@tjainaiscool9348]

i formal=informal

[@missdragonluckychina2449]

you are a excellent teacher you go slow which I like I cant learn when its fast lol.
