Okay that's helpful! Context as always is very important with Dutch. I'm learning

Great choices and footage of these places. One thing about the pronunciations. The CH in some of these town names, is the same as how you pronounced the G in Giethoorn. So that goes for the cities of Utrecht & Maastricht and the Zaanse Schans. The CH, SCH & the G are sounds created at the back of the throat. Like the sound you make, when you clear your throat. Keep up the good work!

Naarden, missed a trick there: why not show a overhead shot of the town and show what you(twice) describe is the actual shape of it?
