ASMR Tracing a Map of the Benelux States (soft spoken, reading place names)

Hey everyone! Today we're looking at a map of the Benelux states, that is Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, and I'll be reading the names of the different places to you in French, Dutch, and German.
Thank you all so much for your support and your patience this week. Love you! ❤

Best ASMR, hands down - too many people don't understand that ASMR is way more than tapping and soft spoken...

[@ah9338]

It is soooo weirdly satisfying when a youtuber correctly pronounces Dutch place names :D

[@MelangeASMR]

Glad to hear that! It did take some practice haha

[@Dellaa2222]

so relaxing😴 greetings from luxembourg🇱🇺

[@MelangeASMR]

Thank you, Aliyah! 💜

[@kaatpeeters2956]

Your french pronunciation is absolutely ‘fantastique’! 👏🏻 So is your Flemish/Dutch (making the difference ‘cause there are much similar sounds but also many different ones) Greetz from Belgium 🇧🇪

[@MelangeASMR]

Oh la la, thank you! Glad to hear it 🥰

[@stephengoodchild8833]

Love these tracing vids. Best wishes to everyone affected by the terrible floods.

[@MrPhil1503]

I have been to the Benelux several times...so easy to get to from the UK, I just got back from a weekend in Rotterdam and Delft yesterday. I love Belgium, and the mix of Flemish and French in a small country..and the amazing be er 🙂

[@amlasmr9491]

Love the tracing and your nails are gorgeous! Also fun to explore the Benelux countries and languages this way

[@MelangeASMR]

Thank you! I feel like I finally have a good reason to have all this nail polish 🙈

[@katieherger4928]

I had never heard the term Benelux before. I always learn new things from your videos! My daughter is going to Belgium and the Netherlands in April. It was fun to watch this and see where she will be going.

[@MelangeASMR]

Oh that's a nice coincidence - I'm sure your daughter will have a great time! They're great places to travel.

[@robertwhite9621]

Hearing your greeting always brings me instant calm. Lovely video again :)

[@MelangeASMR]

Aw thank you, that's a lovely thing to say 💛

[@RobinDrooger]

Great video again, very relaxing. Your pronunciation of Dutch city names is excellent for a non-native speaker!

[@MelangeASMR]

Thank you! And that's a relief to hear haha, I feel like Dutch has this really specific sound that I don't find very easy to imitate.

[@RobinDrooger]

It's not easy, but you really have a talent for Dutch. You even got the hard G's and 'ij' sounds correctIy. I had a laugh when you said you should spend a long holiday to get a feel for the Dutch language. The area you were tracing is Zeeland, which is very popular with German tourists. So popular in fact, that most hotels and restaurants will assume you're German (or a German speaker in your case) and don't even bother with Dutch when you sit down at a table. So don't go there if you want to learn Dutch ;)

[@MelangeASMR]

I had no idea 😂😂

[@MotocrossRacingOnline]

as a random flemish dude this was pretty fun

[@MelangeASMR]

Glad to hear, thank you 😊

[@lauresart]

That was nice, I didn’t know I’d enjoy asmr one day, maybe it’s because my country is included ? 😅 Anyway, greetings from Belgium, and gråce eyet årvey (Thank you and goodbye in my regional language that’s from Wallonia ^^)

[@MelangeASMR]

Admittedly, a lot of ASMR can be an acquired taste 😅 I'm very happy you enjoyed this one! And thank you for mentioning Walloon. I didn't really have time to read up on it back when I was preparing this video, but what a fascinating language!

[@kmon5090]

I love your enthusiasm for language ❤

[@r.v.b.4153]

17:50 It's because you cross the Uerdinger Linie around there ^^. Many of those towns also have a history connected to the Netherlands. They were part of Guelders and also partially exposed to early Dutch standardization (in written texts like the local administration).

[@alibugraozis9721]

You can teach me the geography of the whole world by speaking so softly like this. I will gladly listen to you until I have memorized all the cities. 😄👍

[@MelangeASMR]

Ahaha I just might! Thank you, Ali, I really appreciate your comment :)

[@Meleg83]

Be my Türkçe teacher ❤️❤️❤️

[@DrHurtMD2112]

You have such a calming voice!

[@MelangeASMR]

The capital of Luxembourg is an easy one to remember.

[@r.v.b.4153]

18:22 The pronunciation of "ng" in Dutch is identical to its pronunciation in German. The "g" is not a fricative when it is preceded by an "n".

[@ft1337lol]

love the video ❤🧡 thank you

[@MelangeASMR]

Yay, thank you! 😇

[@TommyandLeah]

Love this!😍❤️

[@MelangeASMR]

Thank you 🥰🥰

[@r.v.b.4153]

Compared to German, the Dutch "u" is similar (if not identical) to German "oe" (e.g. in "Goethe"), and the Dutch "oe" is identical to German "u"

[@BootboyJu]

There is a mistake on the map. The correct name of the French city is Armentières, not Armentiéres...

[@Ineke1466]

Leeuwarden is the capital of the province Friesland and Frisian is considered a language. There has been a professor who stated that English derives from Frisian:) In the early Middle Ages Frisia was very powerful and important. And Dutch is very similar to German so I think it won't be a problem for you to learn it quickly😉Grüße aus Haarlem

[@MelangeASMR]

Dutch sounds so cute! If I had some more time, I'd love to learn it - or learn a little about the related Low German. It's funny just how different it is from my native Upper German dialect - I don't think I would be able to understand it, but Dutch and German dialect speakers living along the common border probably wouldn't have a problem.

[@Ineke1466]

@@MelangeASMR I think if a Dutch speak slowly you will understand it, so many similarities

[@MelangeASMR]

@@Ineke1466 Yeah I remember watching sports commentary and it was a strange mix of being able to follow along sometimes and then not getting anything at all again haha. I can imagine that just being more familiar with how Dutch pronounciation varies from German would already help a lot.

[@ollieollieoxenfreeasmr51]

Just in time for bed. Nice.

[@MelangeASMR]

Excellent haha, have a good night!

[@Mrkzgames]

18:50 skipped over my hometown :(

[@MelangeASMR]

Oh no :(

[@archi.dini0310]

idk why but i am so sad you haven't said utrecht and amersfoort xD

[@MelangeASMR]

Aww I'm sorry haha

[@Bwianman85]

I know I don't know you but is it possible/legal to marry your voice? 🤣🤣

[@MelangeASMR]

That would be a very unusual marriage 😅😂
