[@victoriaokwor4528]

I swear, you're one of the best Dutch teachers I have ever came across online. I would be glad to have you as my personal Dutch teacher. Thanks for the explicit explanation.

Thank you Niels for the easy explanation about ovt

[@mikepictor]

Your teaching style is so perfect. So easy to follow. Your videos are a joy.

[@Messalinaist]

Niels, I've taken SOOO many Dutch classes and none have explained grammar as well as you! Your explanations stick so well. I think it's becaus eyou are answering potential questions in your explanation. Well done and bedankt!

[@metihoseini906]

You taught us past tense in a very clear and concise manner and I really enjoyed your video and I hope that you keep up the good work 💯

[@klainmaingr]

My body is ready for the VTT and how to tell between past tenses. A man can only hope... By far the most helpful videos on YT.

[@jennybason5191]

I have been searching for good 'how to learn Dutch' for ages and thank you- yours are exactly perfect!! Your videos are helping us hugely!!! thanks so much and please make more!!

[@LuisRomaUSA]

Just wanted to say that you videos are great! My gf who is Dutch says that there are few rules to the language, but you manage to find those few rules which make my learning far more comfortable. Cheers!

[@panhamonic7565]

Your motivation is always say “it is easy” everything is easy from Dutch 😅

[@salehrage9956]

Thank you man..... You are the best teacher in both of the two languages. English and Dutch. I'm study datch but I don't get a teacher like you.

[@fernandabros6833]

You’re the greatest teacher I have ever seen!! Please come back!

Less stress grateful You , dear Niels! Thank You very much!🙏 You are a perfect teacher✨😊👍

[@fivestars6094]

Erg bedankt Niels.

[@LearnDutchwithNiels]

Graag gedaan Muhammad!

[@hitomim1339]

Wonderful video! Thank you very much for putting a lot of effort to make this and other videos. What I like the most about your channel is that you put videos up to genuinely help people learn Dutch. I know from experience it takes a lot to make a good lesson. Heel hartelijk bedankt, Niels!

[@LearnDutchwithNiels]

Graag gedaan Hitomi! That means a lot to me. Compared to other languages, there aren't that many resources out there for Dutch, so I wanted to make clear videos that answer specific questions. A lot of people learning the language get told "That's just the way it is -- you just have to learn it', but I believe that there's always an explanation, or at least a trick to help you.

[@yassinebenzouine6921]

Thank you so much NIELS ❤️

[@erajesh81]

Good one, clear and simple explaination

[@tomobeirne5378]

Wow! I've been really struggling with learning Dutch, I had loads or words but couldn't put them together, didn't understand to well, your videos are awesome I've come on far already and I'm starting to understand 😀👍👍

[@hossainmahmoodtuhin3536]

Hi, great content of learning Dutch in easy way. Thanks a lot!

[@sandraramirez9009]

Hi Niels ... I like very much your videos, you are one of the best .....

[@kathybui1918]

In Vietnamese language we don’t have tenses for the time and we don’t have much final consonants so let say Dutch is extremely difficult for us to gain the rule in our brain and once we have it in our brain we need to practice how to articulate it. Thanks alot! The way you talk is very calm :))

[@LearnDutchwithNiels]

A little exercise for you, to practice the OVT: "Wat deed je 5 (of 10) jaar geleden?" Je kunt spreken over: werk, school, hobbies, activiteiten... You can leave a reply with your answers. My answer: 10 jaar geleden ging ik naar de universiteit. In mijn vrije tijd speelde ik gitaar en piano.

[@CharieVanWits]

Learn Dutch with Niels! 5 jaar geleden was ik een derde jaar (Third year?) op universiteit in Johannesburg, Zuid-Afrika. Ik heb niet geweten dat ik nu Nederlands zou leren. (how did I do?)

[@nydineberroa5247]

5 jaar gelden ik werkte voor een office compeny :)

[@billykristianto3818]

6 maand geleden ging ik naar de Erasmus om Nederlands te leren. Ik heb veel dingen geleerd.

Bedankt Niels

[@keatkhamjornmeekanon7616]

It's pretty easy to understand.

[@tonyyule283]

Dankjewel Niels. Het was heel goed.

[@azharaslamshaikh9174]

prima uitstekend uitleg hartelijk dank

[@frankhooper7871]

I remember [many years ago] when I first studied German, we actually learned the verbs as kaufen/kaufte/gekauft or gehen/ging/gegangen. I've tried to do the same with Dutch. English, Dutch and German are quite similar in how we form our verb tenses - but we English have lost our 'ge-' prefix for the past participle along with the use of to be in lieu of to have as the auxiliary verb.

[@mep6302]

That actually makes English simpler. It's interesting in Spanish, we also lost the verb to be (ser) for perfect tenses but Italian and French still keep it. One thing English and Spanish have in common even though these languages come from different language families.

[@mohammadsamirabdulfatah-cc7qv]

Hi thank you really for your amazing grammar explaining

[@aswinisekar16]

Hello Neil, great videos. Clear explanation. I want to appreciate you and motivate you for more videos. Please post more videos for dutch sentences and grammer. Looking forward.

[@WendyRisoli]

This lesson will take more practice for sure

[@sexymate8654]

can you pls make a video with voorzetsels ( aan/op/naar/in/ over/met/tegen/voor/van) Thanks alot!!!

[@erick2herrera]

Take it into account niels. I'm also madly keen on knowing what means "op" and the others ones 12343 said there.

[@LearnDutchwithNiels]

That's a good topic, I will make a video about it. I already have a nice lesson for it, which could work on video too, so I'll try to record it soon.

[@DiMo28]

Soft ketchup, LMAO!

[@LearnDutchwithNiels]

Everybody's favorite brand!

[@glenshannon2273]

I learned it using the phrase " 't kofschip" but "soft ketchup" is a lot easier to use quickly

[@leatherdolphin]

Thank you very much.The lesson was explained fully and very interesting.Thank you

[@lindawentink2725]

Thank you so much.

[@halash1552]

Thanks for the videos they are really helpful. I live in the Netherlands and I'm learning Dutch now but I find the grammar really difficult and I find sometimes the way they combine words to form a sentence and give a specific meaning to it, just doesn't make any sense! So if you could please make more videos about grammar and about other things in Dutch. That would be great!

[@LearnDutchwithNiels]

I'm glad you like the video! If you have any examples of things you don't understand, I'll try to explain them in a future video.

[@halash1552]

Thanks for your reply. Maybe you can make a video about not only using " aan het" but all the usage of the word "aan" in sentences. And I also find a problem when I see the words "wat" and "wel" in sentences and don't know why they are there or how we put them in a sentence properly! Thanks a lot.

[@ccv123]

You are a great teacher! Thank you!!

[@robertnowak6820]
