You should do what feels best for you, whatever that may be! We can all get inspired by seeing what other people do in these times, but what works for someone else to feel better doesn’t have to be the exact activity that will make you feel better at this moment. If you want to watch Netflix the whole day or do a 5 k every day or everything in between, that’s totally ok! 🌸❤️ I myself am in this ‘everything in between area’ of doing nothing today and tomorrow but then run a 5 k for 3 days straight. For me it’s all about balance! 🙏🏼 Have a lovely evening!

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

[@quintym7090]

That is a great one!!

[@dunyasimoes3807]

definitely!

[@irrelevance3859]

Agreed. That's the way. I used to speak Portuguese fluently when I was younger becuase my parents spoke to me and my brother in Portuguese but as they learnt english and I started school they just stopped speaking to us as much in Portuguese and I kind of unlearned it. I can read and understand it so well but I just can't speak it properly. I've been trying to force my parents to stop speaking to me in eglish

she probably heard it a lot growing up, her mom's family is from there, so than you learn it quicker, and you get the accent. but it is damn impressive how good her vocab and grammar already is

[@nezakopitar3717]

dutch is relatively easy for native english speakers since its form the same language group.. if you commit to it for one week and also hear it growing up, visiting family it really isn’t all that hard to pick up

[@MaheenKhan-m4v]

shes been learning too

[@Jarito404]

Most english speakers still have a chubby accent after a week tho and it's funny hearing it, so keep on learning dud

[@insekko]

Dutch is the second closest language to English apart from Frisian (all West-Germanic) which helps but the fact that she grew up hearing it very often must have helped a lot too

Because as a native English speaker who only speaks English oh, it sounds pretty damn good to me but I can also hear we're parts of it are more English than others. Her mom said that she was really hard to understand, is she really hard to understand or is it just not the best pronunciation ever?

I don't know her situation, but it is very likely that she has been exposed to Dutch from a very early age, since her mom is Dutch. Not saying it isn't amazing how fast she learned, but the exposure could definitely have helped.

[@tobleronesubscriptions]

Oscar Gr Oh no definetly its just she couldnt speak any yet which makes it even more impressive

[@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 😅

[@MarijeK]

Denk je niet dat het ook komt door haar Friese accent? Fries ligt heel dichtbij Engels, en als Friezen Nederlands spreken, dan hoor je dat ook wel.

[@merry_christmas]

Yeah apart from pronunciation I also really associate with changing word order to make it easier for non-natives to understand. It's a terrible Dutch habit because my expat friends always complain they're unable to properly learn Dutch because of us. 😂

Yes! I moved from Germany to Switzerland a few years ago, and went from knowing German and a bit of English to knowing German, English, French, Italian and Latin (you are required to take at least two 'national' languages at school for multiple years). Sadly, they're changing the curriculum in grammar schools so as to give mathematics and natural sciences more lesson time, and (myself included) not all students always appreciate learning about, say, the intricacies of French grammar.I still hope that the idiosyncratic linguistic set-up in Switzerland won't disappear altogether, it's kind of cool that things like food labels, our government's website etc. are all in various languages.

Jade, wat is je Nederlands goed! Een tip: vaak kan je de “r” uitspreken op de Franse manier! In plaats van de “r” te rollen, komt hij meer vanuit de keel. The r also has different pronunciations in Dutch depending on where in the word it is, so that’s difficult.. But I figured since you speak French it could be helpful to know!

I only started learning French when I was 19 and now, 12 years on, I've gained a very decent level of fluency. So you got this! Goed gedaan :)

lol love how I understood their entire conversation just because I'm German

[@sennecroenen5704]

Wie vind het ook dat Jade op een paar dagen heel goed nederlands kan!

[@evatops9130]

Hey, I am from Belgium ( the dutch speaking part) and I think that you did really good. Even I have sometime problems with the tenses in dutch (espescially the past tense), so I would say well done! keep learning and "veel succes en ik vind je video's super leuk en inspirerend!"

you just gained a dutch sub! this is so much fun to watch!

[@lsvs7329]

1 WEEK?!?!? Be proud this is so good! Also you understand almost everything. That counts!

[@sena-fk6uw]

I'm literally in your position right now, my dad is German and I was born in Germany. But I guess I forgot speaking it, a little bit. Your video encouraged me. I'm going to try to learn German again. Thank you so much. By the way I love watching your videos❤

[@solvhaa6461]

I’m learning German too, bc I have a friend that is from Austria :)

This is the actually the most motivational thing I've ever watched❤

Het lijkt mij leuk om een video te zien waar je voor het eerst een gesprek hebt met je oma! Denk dat zij heel blij en verrast zal zijn dat ze eindelijk met haar kleindochter kan spreken :)

[@neene1eneene1eeennn11neeneene]

Ik ben onder de indruk! (I'm so impressed) It's so cool to see you learn our language. Dutch is a very difficult language, especially grammar. The conversation you were having with your mom (after only studying it for a week, wow???) was so cool to see!

[@robbievandijk7908]

I literally cheered when her mom said that she’s from up north and loves Leeuwarden 😂

[@carmen8462]

i'm also learning dutch, it's been almost two years and i think i'm a B1 level, she is already so good and i'm jealous 😭 i also watched wie is de mol 2019 btw it's so weird that she watched it too

[@olivierlensvelt5698]

Goed bezig! Blijf oefenen. Ik weet niet waar jij vandaan komt maar mensen die Engels spreken als moeder taal kunnen makkelijker Nederlands leren.

[@carmen8462]

carmen lekker bezig! Er is een leuk KZbin kanaal waar je de Nederlandse cultuur kunt leren. Wellicht leuk om te kijken, het heet “Bart de pau”.

[@UnJadedJade]

Oh I love this!!

[@ChrisBL]

UnJaded Jade Thank you! Did it early for my GCSEs but haven‘t tried in years 😬

[@katrinastewart5456]

We’re a trilingual family: English, Dutch and Norwegian, living in Norway. My kids speak Dutch exactly like you! So funny to hear the similarity😊 So even though you say you weren’t brought up bilingual your level is pretty good! Our kids speak Norwegian amongst themselves, English with me and Norwegian/Dutch with their dad. We wanted the kids to be able to talk with their oma. I grew up bilingual myself (English, Dutch) and realised very early on how practical that was. Good luck!

[@JeskeNina]

Wow Jade, ik volg je al een tijdje en ik wist helemaal niet dat je een Nederlandse moeder had, wat grappig!! Je uitspraak is heel goed en zelfs je zinsvolgorde is al meer Nederlands dan Engels. Als je doorgaat op deze manier, weet ik zeker dat je het uiteindelijk heel goed zult spreken. Succes xx

[@jessbano3715]

Dude how can you speak literally fluent in one week? That's insane!

[@gweisa899]

A lot of studying and listening. Repition is the key. Some people learning language is easier。 Motivation.

[@verywery4448]

1:17 die “ja ik ook” is echt perfect

[@evasammelius1767]

You actually did so well omg! This was honestly so impressive and very fun to watch as a native Dutch person! Dutch is a really difficult language and some of our grammar is extremely illogical in my opinion. Definitely look forward to seeing you improve even more!!

Wth, jouw Nederlands is zo goed woow. I’m Belgian and my mother tongue is french, but we had to learn Dutch in Brussels haha

[@laurenbates5511]

Seriously you’re doing really well! The accent is actually really good too! Don’t beat yourself up too much, Dutch really is hard and you’re doing really well!

[@anitamannings]

I am English and My mum is dutch and from Friesland too! She was born in Heeraveen! I used to speak it fluently when I was 5 but now I’ve forgotten everything! I still understand it though! I would love to learn for my Oma too, she doesn’t speak English and she won’t be with us much longer ... You did amazing and your accent is so good too! I might try to learn again now! X

[@historywithhilbert]

Good job! If you keep it up you'll be fluent in no time. If your mam's from Friesland though... you should give Frisian a go. Much cooler!

@@janna2234 maar, sorry, ook vrij nutteloos. In friesland. De meeste mensen spreken ook Nederlands. Paar mensen misschien niet, voornamenlijk echt oude mensen, dus binnen zeg 30 al helemaal niemand. Maar wil je naar de rest van nederland. Zoals ze wilt naar Amsterdam, dan zal ze aan fries niets hebben. jkt vooral op oud engels. Ik ben ook vloeiend in engels, maar toch kan ik het niet eens combinerem om fries te verstaan naast de paar woorden die het zelfde zijn.
