Nice to see these embassy employees completely out of their comfort zone, even Pete Hoekstra since his political ideas oppose mine. Chris & Omar should start their own KZbin channel as a comedy duo. Chris & Omar do Holland or Chris & Omar en het kaas imperium 🤣

Hi, dat is interresant om te kijken! Ik kom uit Indonesie en ik ben naar Nederland gegaan voor mijn stagiaire period (deze jaar). Daar ik woon in America, Limburg voor 3 maanden (Februari - April). Ik was een stagiaire in rozen kas en ik vind dat is mooie dorp. Veel paarden, vriendelijke mensen, en nog veel meer. Ik raad het ten sterkste aan! So sorry for my bad Dutch, I still have lots to learn

[@AutumnDutch]

Your Dutch is great!

[@ineggnito]

Halo Ik kom ook uit Indonesië!

[@BluuurghAg9]

If this is your level in less than a year (even if it was a bit over a year) It's really impressive! If you would talk like this to a native they will certainly understand you well enough! Great work!

Pete Hoekstra seems like a nice guy when he's not lying about our country. And like many people said, we want more of Chris and Omar! The rest was fine as well, but those 2 guys have real chemistry.

You guys are all very lucky that we speak english as a 2nd language here in Holland. I wonder, will the american embassy staff in Germany also speak German the same level as you guys?

[@robuss]

I learned it as: "De kat van de kapper krabt de krullen van de trap". And then repeat it 10 times fast.

Martin Van Buren was President when Iowa became a territory. There is a county in southeast Iowa named for Van Buren.

[@tommac5411]

Hey Bart, the only US President who learned English as a second language was Martin Van Buren. His first language was Dutch as was spoken in his home.

[@hermaitre4573]

yes. remember the Ambassador (Pete Hoekstra) quoting on TV that there are "No-Go" zones in The Netherlands, where the police does NOT DARE to go.......when confronted ...he just walked away....... Great channel , just a pitty you got these clowns on it.......

I just live 4 miles from America.... The dutch one :P. We have a lot of countries around here. Oostenrijk (Austria), Zwitserland (can guess which country that is), Siberië,, Egypte, Australië. Only America is a village though of about 1,000 to 1,500 people. The rest are areas that got that name.

I would vote for them in a minute. Not crazy about my current choices. Chris can do comedy and Omar voice work if Pres/VP doesn't work out.

[@boldvankaalen3896]

A sentence Pete Hoekstra needs to say in Dutch: Het spijt me dat ik zo'n leugenaar ben, ik ben niet geschikt voor een diplomatiek baan, ik neem ontslag.

[@monahf]

Je moet dat doen Met alle ambassades. Laten WE kijken hoe ze zullen reageren. Dat was grappig.

[@beatatrybus4984]

Very nice people.

[@richardbrinkerhoff]

Most American employees at the consulate in Amsterdam don't speak Dutch and don't bring in a Dutch speaker when a Dutch person is obviously struggling to understand English. And by the way, Hoeksta's ideas are diamettically opposed to what the average Dutch person believes. Possibly the worst ever.

[@Beun007]

Omar is smart!

Nice vid again Bart ! I'm also learning a thing or two here, like the origin of the name Yankees. Btw does anyone know why we use double names like Kees-Jan? Disagreement within the family?

[@jolandafrijlink6103]

No..i think this is because in small villages the didn't do alot of last names. We weren't very inventif with names and most of the times the children were named after grandparents and so on but also in the rest of the village. So when you were talking about jan and there would be more off them they named the father of them. So it was jan of kees, jan-kees.

[@eds5709]

@@jolandafrijlink6103 Interesting Jolanda. But this would also mean these double first names were used quite a while ago.
