People in EasyDutch saying Dutch is not actually easy 😅
Yes, and so...????? But they don't mean the same, do they? Why 😅???
If you're doing a course called "Easy Differential Algebra", then it's complicated algebra simplified to be a bit easier for beginning students, and that is NO SUGGESTION that that Differential Algebra is easy. Is there?? On the contrary.
So if you're doing a course in Dutch which is simplified for beginner learners, and the course is called "EasyDutch", it does NOT AT ALL imply that Dutch is actually an easy language, so there is no contradiction at all, and not funny 😅, is it? Or did I miss something 🤔 ? The important semantic difference is all in the word order.
Try a course in "Easy English", because your English comprehension is confused here ... and all students know that English is not actually easy either 😅.
@@theon9575 I think it was a joke that you just missed...
@@einorastv Well, yes 🤗, I wondered that as I wrote the Comment. ... if I was just being dumb. Lol
But... I can see it's a joke for 18 other people, but still think the joke depends on misunderstanding the subtle difference and seeing it as a sort of contradiction.
My "problem" is that linguistics is my job, and I teach it, so the word order Easy Dutch wasn't flexible enough in my head to see the joke, as it is for people studying English as a second language.
So thanks for saying so. I love language and talking about itand I do have great sense of humour, so i'll leave my Comment ... when is a pun not a pun..?
Best wishes .
PS I actually don't agree that languages can even be judged as 'easy' or 'difficult' .... my Chinese students will tell you that English, defined often by exceptions to the rule, is the most difficult in the world. Hey, with Dutch, exceptions to the rule are rare, whereas in English there are exceptions all over the place.
Also in Dutch, WYSIWYG. Always! That means you can look at any Dutch word and pronounce it. In English that's actually rare. How anybody, like those here, could write in English that Dutch is difficult beats me! 😂 And the same people never mastered English tenses, or figured out present continuous\, etc. say that Dutch is more difficult with its simple tenses, spelling reform, and have got rid of case grammar from low German.
It's illogical, there's no linguistic or other evidence, so unlikely to be true. But everyone (except me) here agrees. 😂
@@einorastv just thinking later about this, it's like the difference between:
'A good man is hard to find." and "A hard man is good to find."
Also adverb/adjective play, in the 'joke' above.
Jokes are the best grammar lessons haha 🫣
@@theon9575 sorry I didn't see your answer till yesterday 🤦🏼♀️ My comment was is fact just a joke, a silly game made out of the words and their meaning 😊 Have a good day ☀️
Ik ben zelf een Nederlander die in Ierland woont. En soms laat ik wat Nederlandse woorden aan mijn vrienden zien. Ze hebben veel moeilijkheid met uitspraak dus als ik een mening zou geven. Moet ik zeggen dat het moeilijkste deel voor een buitenlander duidelijk uitsprak is
@@gardenjoy5223 overall is prima. ik zou zeggen cork of galway. dat zijn groote plekken maar alles is prima. ze spreken bijna nooit iers . engels wordt overall gesproken dus het maakt niet uit
I am English but also speak German. It is amazing how much Dutch I can understand even though I can't speak it (yet).
Mijn moedertaal is Portugees, ik woon in België sinds augustus/2020, mijn fraans is heel goed maar omdat nederlands is mijn eerste germaanse taal dat ik probeer te leren, ik denk dat die uitspreken is te moielijk en de grammatica ook, de woordenschat is totaal anders voor mij, maar ik graag het, vooral vlaams!
Mooi, Ik ben ook een Belg.
Als Nederlander vind ik het Vlaams zeer prettig klinken. Overigens kent het Nederlands aardig wat Franse leenwoorden en latijnse invloeden, wat herkenbaar moet zijn voor veel Zuid-Europeanen en Zuid-Amerikanen.
Though I don't have dyslexia when I'm speaking English, I have severe dyslexia when trying to learn Dutch- I'm only about A2 level, after studying it for four years. Anyone who says that Dutch
is just like English, is a liar.
Still one of the hardest things for me is hearing the difference between Dutch v and w. Also my neighbor, who is Dutch, insists Dutch ij/ei sounds like "ey" in English "hey", yet she and everyone in these videos pronounces it "ay" as in English "hi" - jij, zijn, etc. When I pronounce it the way she she does, she says it's wrong! I don't know, maybe I just have bad ears.
I'm native Dutch and yeah, you're correct. You can look up the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) which also affirms this.
Its definitely closer to the "hey" sound than to the "hi" sound.
@@gardenjoy5223Nope that's not correct. It's very far from the 'i' in "me, myself and I" and much closer to the "ey" in "hey"
@@gardenjoy5223 I'm referring to standard pronunciation, like the one you're taught when you're learning the language and the one you hear on Google Translate. In this vid, the i sounds less flat, I'll give that to you.
H@@ihsahnakerfeldt9280 Heel wat Nederlanders spreken de 'ei' of 'ij' natuurlijk plat uit: 'Bai mai thuis'. Beschaafd Nederlands spreekt bijna niemand 'uit het volk' nog, helaas...
The State Department and Defense Language Institute both consider it the easiest language for an English-speaker to learn. For me, already knowing German, I could understand a lot without ever studying it and I can sight read probably 30% (sometimes more).
Thanks for posting!
Heel leuk video, zoals gewoonlijk! Ik spreek duits, dus het is niet te moielijk voor mij. Maar ik ben een beginner, ik kan nog niet te veel over grammatica zeggen.
Its a very pleasant video, as usual. I speak German and it's not too difficult for me to understand the language but I cannot say too much about the grammatical aspect. I am a South African and I am just practicing my ability to understand on certain comments. Hope you don't mind.
Mijn moedertaal is Arabisch en ik probeer nederlands te leren maar ik vind het moeilijk om snel te praten
En sommige grammatica zijn lastig Maar mooie taal voor mij
The language itself isn't really hard (like Finish for example or Russian (because of the cases - in Finish there are 14 cases and in Russian - 6 )), the pronunciation is freaky difficult, I've gave up learning it already for many many times, but still want to learn Dutch
So, in your opinion Dutch grammar is harder than Russian, is not it?
Dutch is easy to learn. My native language is Estonian and I'm fluent in Finnish. So you should try these.😀 Or Hungarian
I am Norwegian, and studied Dutch some 20-30 odd years ago, since I went to The Netherlands quite often (job). I managed to speak simple Dutch, and when I was alone, never used any other language than Dutch in restaurants, cafes and shops. But now I am learning Finnish - at least trying ... and that is a different story. The Finnish language is beautiful (as is Finland), but very difficult, at least compared to Dutch and German (and English for that matter).
Hello Jeroen! this is a great video to help beginners learn Dutch, this is one of the first things I'd need to say when I'm asked about my level of Dutch!
Do you guys have your subtitles available on your website or elsewhere to download from ? Thanks for your work!
Hello Joshua! Thank you for your reaction! 💙 We do have our transcripts to download as a part of our membership. You can look into more details by going to: easydutch.org/membership. We hope to talk to you on our Discord channel! 😊
@@EasyDutch Thank you for your quick response!
Langsamer praten, als het U blieft! Thank you, folks!
Ik ben er blij dat nederlanders vindt nederlands moeilijk ook :))
Goede morgen sar
Must agree - not the easiest to learn.
I'm currently busy learning it, and for me being Afrikaans, it is close enough to take it up quickly ...
For me personally it's distinguishing when to use "het" and when to use "de" - our teacher actually told us, it's not necessarily something you can learn as a second speaker and it not being your home language, you'll always have to take a gamble 🤣
de tafel............het tafeltje
Exactly! You just have to feel what is better sometimes 😂 the de and het are so confusing!
Nah, it’s more like: if you don’t life in a country that isn’t germanic or something, then it’s easy. But if you don’t life in a germanic country then dutch is very hard to learn. Dutch stands in several top 20 as considerd hard.
smile smile - dutch is schwierig weil ihr soviel worte verschleift und so schnell sprecht, einiges ist dem plattdeutschen nahe das kann man dann verstehen, und ich kenn mehr niederländer die deutsch können als leider deutsche die holländisch
Ja ik vind het Nederlands is een heel moeilijke taal te leren.
The words Meervoudigepersoonlijkheidsstoornis, Kindercarnavalsoptochtvoorbereidingswerkzaamheden and Hottentottententententoonstellingen: 💀
Veel hebben meer moeite om CURRY te zeggen dan Scheveningen.
Mensen, Nederlands is niet zooo moijlike taal, Ik ben vanuit India en Ik bent gewont in Den Haag its van 12 jaaren
Ik spreekt Afrikaans en Nederlands is bietje lastig
Troost je met de gedachte dat de meeste Nederlanders ook niet correct Nederlands spreken.
French difficult? It is very easy.
For non Europeans, French is much more difficult. Dutch people might find French harder because Dutch is a Germanic language and French is a Romance language. Although English is a Germanic language, it's not so hard for English speakers to learn because most English vocabulary comes from French. Dutch also has some French words but to a lesser extent.
Waarom vraag je dit aan Nederlanders? Vrij kansloos verhaal dit.
For a Dutch-learning Chinese, below are my impressions:
i. Not hard to understand grammarwise;
ii. What makes the Dutch-learning difficult is that people are unwilling to speak to you, especially when you have a 'foreigner' face.
iii. A Dutch friend told me the trick is to insist to speak in Dutch.
I say to 'em dutchies: "upupupup... Nederlands alsjeblieft" they often try to speak English or French with me since i have Mediterranean traits ( i'm Italian ) hence, their behaviour.
Mhm een Chinees met de achternaam “Van Katwijk”… sure……
Wait what? Unwilling to speak to you? You mean in Dutch or in general? It's quite hard for me to believe that people are unwilling to speak to you with a "foreigner" face. Almost everyone nowadays has a "foreigner" face...I speak with everyone, I don't give a crap how you look, we're all humans.
Ben je daar zeker?
Waarom praat je dan in het Engels?
@@OneTheAndOnlyOne
I like that energy..But Sir where have you been actually living in the past 5 years? 80% of those Dutchies have voted No to foreigners.. and, no, not just immigrants but all foreigners
I don't even plan on learning Dutch (busy with German and French at the moment) but I'm watching all these videos because i like the way Dutch sound like😅
Me too! I'm not learning Dutch right now but I watch Dutch videos just to listen to the language because I find It very beautiful 😊
It is a beautiful language. Did you know that it is older than German and French?
Ich bin Deutschlerner auch, sogar habe ich Einfache im niederländisch eingetreten. Der die Deutschesprache mag, wird sehr möglich die Niederländische als eine lustige Sprache finden... viel Spaß!!👋
GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
I think the older woman in the middle of the video was spot on. If you are coming from German or English, it’s not too difficult IF you are interested. I think most just aren’t that interested and they find validation from others on the internet that it’s hard so that they don’t need to even bother.
Ik denk eigenlijk niet dat Nederlands moeilijk is om te leren, waarschijnlijk omdat Duits mijn moedertaal is. Maar ik heb moeite om Nederlands met andere mensen te praten. Ik was een paar dagen geleden in Nederland en ik kon bijna geen normaal gesprek voeren. Dat was frustrerend. Maar ik geef niet op vloeiend Nederland te praten.
Jij schrijft het heel goed! Ga zo door, durf met mensen zonder angst of stress te spreken en je gaat zien dat het vanzelf komt! ;)
@@EasyDutch Dankjewel 👍
Hab kein Angst fehler zu machen wie ich auf Deutsch 😉
Nederlands is veel makkelijker dan Duits
@@GARTEN-KATZEN-PARADIES-BB Naja, Niederländisch und Deutsch gehören auch beide (wie Englisch) zu den westgermanischen Sprachen. Daher würde ich generell sagen, dass Englisch und Niederländisch für Deutschsprachige am einfachsten zu lernen sind.
I learnt Afrikaans at school for ten years, but the grammar is much easier than Dutch. A lot of the vocabulary is the same or similar. For me understanding is not that difficult, but actually speaking is not so easy. Then again I think Dutch is easier than German. However, one can get confused between Afrikaans, Dutch, and German. For example I am:
Afrikaans Ek is
Dutch Ik ben
German Ich bin
they are all called Germanic languages, dutch german afrikaans english danish norse swedish icelandic 👍
@@voornaamachternaam3713 yes of course.

I'm really enjoying learning dutch, sometimes sounds funny having to talk snoring a few words.
exactly haha
Nederlands is makkelijk te leren als je al een andere Germaanse taal spreekt, er is heel veel overlap, met Neder-saksich, Duits Fries/Engels en de Scandinavische talen.
Engels heeft minder Germaanse woordenschat dan andere Germaanse talen en ik denk dat de grammatica is heel moeilijk want er zijn vele kleine woorden dat je moet in de juiste volgorde gebruiken.
@@grassytramtracks Nee Nederlandse grammatica is echt bijna hetzelfde als Engelse. Je kan een Engels zin naast een Nederlandse zin zetten en je ziet precies dezelfde woordvolgorde.
De lastig stukje voor de mensen is altijd spreken. Als ze geen spreken met mensen, daarna ze kunnen niet echt taal leren. Ik ving het van mij ervaring, op eerste stapen het kennis van Engels wel gehelpt, maar alleen als jij ga Nederlands spreek, dat helpt. En ook luisteren, probeeren te snapen mensen, ik heb heel veel collega's heel veel keer gevraagt: "hoe heet dit?" of "hoe heet *** in Nederlands". Dus gewoon maak eerste stapje. Ik ben in Nederland van vorige Mei (8 maanden) en volgende week ga ik volgen Nederlandse taal cursus van a2 naar b1, dus mensen, SUCCES :) (mijn moeder taal is Oekraïens)
Jouw Nederlands leest alszijnde het verstaald in met Google translate. Your Dutch reads like it's been translated with Google translate (the word placement isn't right). Didn't get all the stuff you said, but I think if you would have said it, it would be much clearer what you meant. My reaction to your reaction is Dutch directness, not to be mean.
Geweldige video! Bedankt! Ik probeer Nederlands en Duits tegelijk te leren, en ik vind de Nederlandse uitspraak veel moeilijker
Ik heb Nederlands niet als vreemde taal geleerd maar heb het overal in het land geleefd. Daarom behield ik het vermogen om het te spreken. Vanaf het begin heb ik geprobeerd alleen Nederlands te gebruiken - zelfs als de mensen me in het Duits antwoordden. Trouwens: Ik heb onlangs een beroerte gehad en dat veranderde helemaal niet!
Hallo, volgens mij is Nederlands niet moeilijk!
Niet waarom Andere woorden worden gevormd met woordveranderingen.
Maar de leermethoden zijn verkeerd en lange tijd tijdverspilling.
Shout out naar leraren hier in Nederlands, leer talen, leer ons spreken!
We gaan immers communiceren en we gaan geen Nederlands grammaticaboek schrijven.
such a beautiful language! i want to learn it so bad but currently learning Japanese already. I'm Vietnamese & speak English fluently and still find Dutch a language worth learning!
Wat het spreken van het leren spreken van Nederlands nog moeilijker maakt,zijn de diverse accenten/dialecten binnen Nederland. Een Rotterdammer en iemand uit Kerkrade kunnen elkaar zeer waarschijnlijk, slecht verstaan en begrijpen.
Ik ben dankbaar, dat ik een Zwitserduits-moedertaalspreker ben, omdat het helft meer enorm met de uitspraak en grammatica van het Nederlands
Omdat het mij enorm helpt met de uitspraak en ...
Dutch is easy if you can speak english and German you can Understand Many words!
Het uitspraak ( klanken ) is moeilijkste denk ik. Ben tweetalig opgegroeid Chinees en Oeigoers(soort Turks-Arabisch taal). Chinees is moeilijk met hun 4 tonen maar NL ook. Wanneer moet je lange a gebruiken wanneer kort a bijvoorbeeld. Veel buitenlanders zeggen vaandag ipv vandaag, met jou een word weet Nederlanders meteen dat je niet in NL bent opgegroeid…
I have never dealt with learning dutch, but as a native german speaker I understand some of the spoken words and I'm able to figure out a (relatively simple) written text. I think it's by far the easiest language to learn for germans.
Vielleich ist plattdeutsch schwieriger!
Bút it is also the language to make the most embarassing mistakes in!
So many 'false friends', like klaarkomen/klarkommen and geil/geil.
Or fickie/fikkie and schwul/zwoel.
I heard about uitvaart/ausfahrt, sollen/zullen and Enkels/enkels.
And my own blunder happened when I joked about the Germans losing the Worldcup, which made them furious.
Later I learned the reason. I had used the Dutch abbreviation for WorldCup (WK) and that meant Weltkrieg (WorldWar) in German.
I had even mentioned; 'It's not that big of a deal, there's a new chance to win in about 2-3 years. I bet you'll win!' Nów I understand why that did not make them any calmer.
Nee, Nederlands is glad nie moeilik as jy Afrikaans praat nie. Ek verstaan ALTYD my Nederlandse vriende, as hulle langzaam praat, maar hulle verstaan my selfde. (Hongaars is ‘n baie moeilike taal!!)
Ik heb 25 jaar zamengewerkt met Nederlanders, in het kader van stedenband tussen onze Tsjechische stad in Moravie en Veenendaal (juist vieren wij 30 jaar bestaan van stedenband) en daarom heb ik beslisst jullie aparte taal te studeren. Is moeilijker dan Duits of Engels, vooraal de uitspraak. Maar dat was de moeite waar, je verstaa daarna ook beter de mentaliteit en krijt veel vrienden die waarderen dat je hun taal (ook al met fouten) gebruikt.
Some people in these videos enunciate clearly and so I can begin to try to listen to what they are saying. Some people swallow half of their syllables, such as the young man who starts speaking here at one minute 29 seconds and the older man who starts speaking at about one minute and 49 seconds. I have the playback speed slow down to half of normal and I still cannot match up what they are saying with the Dutch that I see written on the screen. It’s because they are speaking in a way that they swallow half of the syllables. That is exactly why I am finding dutch very hard to learn. It’s not a difficult language if you learn it in written form. The grammar is not all that difficult. It’s learning it from native Dutch speakers that is the worst!
Ik ben Oostenrijkse en vindt vooral de correcte uitspraak heel moeilijk...bij voorbeeld "ui" 🙃.
I would be hesitant to call learning any language easy but if you speak german (and english) you recognize a lot of similar words and it feels like you make progress really fast, so its a very motivating experience.
Without rigorous speaking, it's difficult to learn any language. For speaking, you need speakers who could communicate with you.
Ja, dat kloppt.
I love this!! Thanks for this video❤️I am Dutch by birth, brought up from 7yrs old in USA and now living in Canada. My Dutch is very rusty, but I understand most of the speakers…for some of it I had to slow it to .75 speed. ❤❤❤
Absolute love the variety of spoken dutch in this video. some speaking really fast and some muffling more than others.
North Dutch so intiresting i m sereous very strange
De volgorde van de woorden is absoluut het moeilijkste ding. Natuurlijk "de" en "het" zijn ook moeilijk, maar ik vind deze woorden minder belangrijk als je een foutje doet. Likely, i'm wrong, but a step at time.
As a Javanese Indonesian learning Dutch right now, I enjoy it so much. It's almost like finding trivias where my own languages' vocabularies come from. Moreover if you are already fluent in English. Feels like combining three of my known languages into one with a fun different structure. Love it.
Gampang kah buat dipelajari buat yg udah bisa inggris? Ada mirip2nya sama inggris menurut ku juga
@@hellovidee9664 secara tense lebih gampang, secara grammar structure ada penyesuaian terutama di kalimat tanya. Sama konjugasi kata kerja dan kata sifat mungkin bakal jadi tantangan juga

Daar het net een stamvader (Jacob Breed) in 1745 van Nederland in Kaapstad aangekom.
My oupa het nog 'n Nederlandse Bybel gehad waaruit hulle gelees het.
Volgens my is Afrikaans baie meer vereenvoudig (woorde was verkort) en makliker gemaak as Nederlands.
Ek kan die Nederlandse taal goed volg as dit stadig gepraat word. Daar is egter woorde in beide tale wat geen ooreenkoms toon nie.
Indien 'n Nederlandse persoon stadig praat kan ek omtrent 95% volg en terug antwoord in Afrikaans, maar dan moet ek ook stadiger in Afrikaans praat.
Baie lekker = Heel leuk.
I find it challenging at times. But I enjoy learning the language. I need to get a tutor or practice with someone. I hope to go back to the Netherlands someday.
Thank you for what you do. Hard to find authentic easy to understand Dutch speech on yt.
Funny how it reminds me of let's say French vs. Québec language. Looks like Dutch is directly rooted by German, but made it it's own language, therefore made it's own culture. I find Dutch is quite hard to grasp, but i can relate soooo much being a French Canadian 😀
He dt t d issue only affects the written version thought, right? Like in English "missed" and "mist" are said the same be we know the meaning from context.
Exactly! That's why it is sometimes difficult for Dutch people. :)
Just pretend you don’t speak English, if you look or act like a tourist, they will speak English, but if you pretend you’re Kazakh for example, they will be forced to speak in Dutch with you
Dutch is defintely not that hard, which is why it's one of the few languages people would like to learn first I guess !!!!
It's only the (few) different regional accents which make the Dutch language a bit hard at first
You must be joking , of course it is a hard language to be learnt
@@abelreiscarvalho7143 German or Russian yes because of the grammer, but Dutch doesn't have the 3 articles and many other rules
@@abelreiscarvalho7143 no it’s not that hard. Dutch is ranked on top 10 as one of the easiest language. I am learning dutch but sometimes it’s hard to speak fast and fluent like them. You’re master on your own language but you’ll never be master on another language. You can speak well german but you can’t speak German like the German citizens
@@abelreiscarvalho7143 i think dutch is easier than german, even in some cases easier than the english phonetics. The difficulty in the dutch language is the paronyms, for example heel/geel boeken/broeken geeft/heeft and many others, but i' enjoiyng learning dutch!
@@mccardrixx5289 Russian is difficult in terms of grammar for sure (can say as a native speaker), but dutch seems terrible in terms of pronunciation.
As a German who is trying to learn dutch at the moment for studying in the Netherlands I have to say that just listening to it is quite easy but reading is much harder for some reason. Like I see a word written and I'm like what?? But when I hear the same word pronounced I'm like ahh sounds like this German or English word I know
Able to read German, I was assigned a Dutch essay in grad school. I found that if I thought of a drunk German and read it aloud, I could get the gist. Speaking is another matter. The guttural quality is exhausting.
as native portuguese speaker, the g was easy to nail, it sounds like our r at the beginning of words or our rr in the middle of them
the word order is what's really confusing me, it seems completely arbitrary and random
01:55 Damn shes spitting out like 5 words a second!
yeah wth, I am never going to be able to understand that without subtitles, now I'm sad thank you Easy Dutch...
Dutch shares 2/3 with German and 1/3 with English. I speak 🗣 both but Dutch is not intelligent to me because of its strange pronunciation 😅.
If you do speak one of the Germanic languages, including English, Dutch could be easy! My opinian is based on my own experience... now I am fluent speaker of Nederlandse taal!
Het Klokhuis has a very funny video about d/dt: ua-cam.com/video/px4XffMyWyo/v-deo.html
("Is er weer geen touw aan vast te knopen? Vervang het werkwoord dan gewoon door 'lopen', want dan gaat alles automatisch goed.")
I am Polish but for me this language is hard. Sorry : )
I'm german and when i read it i can understand much more, but when i have to listen to the language i can't follow dutch anymore and i can't understand it well. how they pronunce the words and how they build the sentences is very different to german. But many words if i read them i can understand them many words are more or less the same or at least they exist in german in one or another way
Learning Dutch is not that difficult (although learni g any language at a good level will require significant effort).
Dutch has a lot of similarities with german , english and french. And millions of people speak those languages So they have an entrance to dutch.
I know a dutch learner who used to say that dutch was difficult , contrary to her native spanish . Until I asked her what the subjuntivo in Spanish was ! From then on she'd never say Spanish not difficult was ! 😊
For all those people who already speak english Dutch is relatively 'easy' .
A lot more accessible than Finnish, Czech, hungarian, chinese , russian , arab etc !
Word order in Dutch is the hardest thing I think. There are lots of little words in Dutch and you have to know when to use them and in what order
You will even forget your mother tongue if you are not interacting with that language for 15-20 years.
2:32 That's what she said.
Ik vind dat Nederlands een redelijk makkelijke en moeilijke taal is maar er zijn veel factoren die je moet analyseren als je een taal wilt bepalen als moeilijk, mensen die geen germaanse taal spreken zal Nederlands een heel lastige taal vinden maar dat geldt niet voor mensen die andere germaanse talen wel spreken, mijn moedertaal is spaans en ik weet dat als ik geen Engels sprak, zou ik Nederlands een hoofdpijn vinden en dat komt omdat het een geke woordvolgorde heeft dus denk ik dat Nederlands moeilijk of makkelijk kan zijn afhankelijk van je eigen omstandigheden
I do not know about Dutch language but Portuguese is certainly very difficult hhh
This video is so silly! Is Dutch difficult to learn? I've been to the Netherlands and I've even seen (and heard) little kids speaking in it. It can't be that difficult!
🤔
Every language is hard on its own , but once u put the work in then u realize it's not that hard as u thought it was , I wouldn't say Nederlands is a hard language but a special language that in order to learn it despite others languages like English or french u have to immerse into the language and dive in lol
Blah blah blah, such a usuless generic statement.
@@amjan u took the time to reply to this useless statement, whos the fool then
The young lady at 1:52 I couldn't even follow along with the subtitles
Heel erg bedankt voor je uitstekende kanaal, erg nuttig en uitstekend. Ik vind de Nederlandse grammatica veel moeilijker dan de Engelse. Maar met oefening en doorzettingsvermogen kun je het heel snel leren.
Any language is hard but it harder to be bilingual if your language doesn’t branch much with others much unless you’re living in a community of other language speakers then you get more of a learning curve to it because it helps you get used to hearing a language that isn’t your own native tongue.
I think it's silly to say one language is harder than another, unless some one can come up with the hard evidence .
I've been teaching English at beginner and also advanced level for (too) many decades, and it is always said, but there's NO EVIDENCE in the linguistic literature on the topic. I've learned 5 languages and they were ALL hard. 🥺
It's the language teaching, the timing and method that's our problem.
Everybody knows that MOTHERS ARE THE BEST LANGUAGE TEACHERS. All mothers (caregivers) do it naturally, through meaningful conversation.
AND all their babies in the world learn language at the same rate. After about 5 years they know the language. All BABIES! Logically, if Dutch were harder and, say, Chinese were easier, then Dutch babies would take longer than the Chinese babies who take 5 years. Simple science. Or Dutch babies are smarter than Chinese babies because they learn a 'harder' language.
It's bull💩.
But if second language learners really do find it more difficult, it's maybe the student's language history and background, or the teacher's skills. But show me one thing about Dutch per se.... there is nothing about Dutch per se that's harder that Ive ever heard of. Ask any Dutch pre-schooler 😂
That's my tuppence, i'll get my coat. Sorry 🤓👋🏻
If U THINK it's hard, then you MAKE it hard(er), as the actress said to the bishop. 🤡
The cadence of this language is very English like
It's true that there are some exceptions to the rules, but at least Dutch has very clear rules and they almost always apply. In English for example, you have no idea how to pronounce 'live', unless you know the context. In Dutch you never have this problem. Dutch doens't have a lot of cases with different forms, like German or French. It doesn't have male or female forms or a male / female form of the adjective clause. I'm not saying it's an easy language, but it could be a lot worse.
Makes a lot of sense what you are saying. If you really understand certain concepts and is really eager and interested, you can definitely understand and learn the language completely.
Nederlands en Duits zijn mijn favoriete Germaanse talen
Even i am still struggling learning dutch , but still i find it not so tough because unlike russian , arabic ,chinese or thai they have special writing method just like kanji when you learn japanese and that is more complicated. But the Dutch is easier bc its just Romanised letter, but personally i agree that the Dutch grammar is difficult too
Hoewel ik uit Indonesie komt, heb ik weinig moiete om Nederlands te leren, maar ik vind naar mensen luisteren moeilijk want ik heb geen Nederlands gesprek gehouden. In het Indonesisch hebben wij veel woorden die uit het Nederlands komen, bijvoorbeeld "kamar" en "kamer", "kantor" en "kantoor", "oma" en "opa", etc. Ik ben ook vloeind in het Engels dat een beetje lijkt op het Nederlands is

Maybe it's just me and i'm bad at language learning, but i think it's really challenging to learn decent Dutch as a native speaker of German. It's like the Italian and Spanish thing, a lot of "false friends" you have to spend attention on (especially in the sense of speaking and writing).
How is you health sar
Goede morgen

Dutch might be the very simplest European language there is.
Personally, I think English is easier since it doesn't have gender. Also, if you wanted to count Afrikaans as a European language, it is certainly the easiest in terms of overall grammar. Other than that, I find Dutch pretty easy compared to basically every other non-Germanic language.
@@raymondwalters2723 Well, the Dutch gender is somewhat of a pseudo-gender in practice. English has a very cumbersome tense system, conditional expressions are also a mess, which makes it harder to master than anything in Dutch.
Beginner English is easier then beginner Dutch because English is very word based and the grammar structure doesn't change the way nederlands does
Swedish is even easier for an English-speaker: no within-tense verb conjugation across the persons, and while they do have V2 word order (where the verb precedes the subject) in similar situations as Dutch does, their subordinating conjunctions don't send the verb do the end of the sentence. So you end up with structures like: "He ate an apple, because he was hungry" or "Because he was hungry, ate he an apple." But never "He ate an apple, because he hungry was."
That’s cap. Only people that are from a germanic country finds it easy to learn dutch. But if you ain’t living in a germanic country then it’s considerd as a very hard Language to learn. Dutch stands in every top 20 list for: how hard thé language is.
Es ist viel einfacher, Niederländisch zu verstehen und zu lernen, wenn man Deutsch spricht
Grammatica is niet moeilijk. Het kan logisch worden begrepen. Het moeilijkste is om een zin te construeren. Soms zie ik daar geen logica in. En het is echt heel moeilijk.
So grammar is difficult then ;)
I understand im afrikaans pretty ez tho
1:46 "dat hangt ervanaf waar je vandaan komt"... he says it so fast... it sounds like he says 5 syllables... how are you suppose to understand such a guy ??
That's called connected speech. You have that in every language. I couldn't understand English when I had just begun to learn it until I learned about connected speech. Now I can understand it much better.
Ondat is Portugese mijn eerste taal , vind ik nederlands een super hard taal te leren. Soms ik vind de grammatica veel onlogisch 😯
Youre on a good way, keep going👍

De man aan 1:48 is echt moeilijk te begrijpen 😅
Dis vir my baie snaaks dat Nederlanders die woord lastig gebruik in die plek van moeilik...in Afrikaans beteken lastig iets wat jou pla of irriteer byvoorbeeld:"die muskiete is baie lastig in die somer" Daar was ook 'n bendeleier in Suid-Afrika genaamd Ernie "Lastig" Solomons.
Lastig kan ook irriteer beteken in Nederlands. De kinderen waren lastig.
My dutch but i just want to see if is hard loo
Het is een feit dat de nederlandse taal, 1 van de moeilijkste is om te leren. Helemaal als Nederlans niet je moedertaal is.
Als je dan ook nog is dyslectisch bent....
Ik ben zelf niet echt dyslectisch maar ikzelf heb wel moeite in welke situaties je bepaaldde woorden schrijft.
Zoals bijvoorbeeld "vind" en "vindt"
Ikzelf ben meer zo van "Mij maakt het niet uit hoe iemand iets schrijft,
zolang iemand maar begrijpt wat de ander bedoeld.
