Non-Bilingual Kids: British Gal tries to Speak Dutch with her Mum. ✨ 1-week Language Challenge!

In this video, I'll be putting my very limited, very non-fluent Dutch to the test by speaking to my Mum and Dutch friend Esmee. 🦋 Bedankt voor het kijken allemaal!
this one is for all my dual nationality kids who weren't raised bilingual. I see you. I feel you. I dare you to engage with your family's language! 🌟
My Mum is from Friesland and my Oma speaks limited English. A huge motivation in this is to have better conversations with her! My process, shown in my last video, was to only use free resources on the internet. I'd love to find a more structured way to commit myself over time!

Jade's dutch after 1 week is better than my french after 8 years 🙃

Jade: Learns a language, does yoga, eats healthy

[@BennyProductions]

Like, I'm dutch and can confirm that this is absolutely INSANE after one week.

[@kristel.k0413]

Jade: Learns Dutch in a week

[@traveltomove5805]

I’m native Dutch and I have to say WOW I’m so impressed with how good your Dutch actually is after just a week!!! Keep up the good work! 👏

[@pailin.2617]

What I reccomend is that your mum must ALWAYS speak to you in Dutch during the day or during basic conversation and small talk then you tend to pick it up naturally. I didnt fluently speak my mothers first language until I was 11 and this really helped when she stopped speaking to me in english all the time

Jaden: "Je moet langzaam praten voor mij" (please speak slow)

[@shanayavandenbergh2295]

bij sommige woorden had jade echt eigenlijk een nederlands accent

[@zilanka389]

What the actual HOW CAN SHE SPEAK SO WELL????

[@smilingeva]

It's so much fun to watch this when you're Dutch yourself haha

[@anniquevanwaarde5783]

I am a Dutch girl and I'm honestly so impressed how fluent your Dutch sounds after just a single week of learning it! :)

I love the connection she has with her audience, when I see her videos it does not feels like I am not seeing her through a screen , but rather am sitting next to her

[@valeriejanssen8979]

die moeder woont al zo lang niet meer in Nederland en toch hoor je duidelijk dat ze Fries is lol

[@DailyDiscountNL]

Jade: "Please answer slowly"

[@tonyluvbalony6837]

The fact that she’s on a level of basic conversation in a week is pretty crazy

[@charlotteerika2455]

Esme’s british accent is top tier btw

[@jiskaakkerman1485]

I think it’s really funny how your mums dutch starts sounding more ‘English’ during the conversation because I feel like a lot of dutch people do this when speaking to someone whose first language isn’t dutch but tries to speak dutch. I am dutch myself but when I speak to someone who’s trying to learn Dutch I find myself adapting to their pronounciation instead of speaking proper dutch 😅

As a South African who's mother tongue is Afrikaans, I found this extremely entertaining, funny, and overall very wholesome. I am constantly fascinated by how similar Dutch is to Afrikaans, making them mutually comprehensible languages. I really hope you keep up your fluency!

Je spreekt mooi Nederlands, hebt een grote woordenschat. Geweldig. En je moeder's beheersingvan Nederlands is nog steeds perfect.
