Hey Guys!!! Anki is super simple to use but if your interested here is the link to download the EXACT deck of cards I used. caseykilmore.myshopify.com/. Hopefully it saves you the time it took me to make them and fast tracks you on your journey to learn DUTCH!! Used along side the tips in the video you'll be speaking the language in no time Stay Motivated and keep your eyes out for more language learning videos.
Hi. I've tried to purchase the Dutch deck of cards, but the payment process failed two times. Do you know what could be the reason? (I tried with a credit card, if this info helps in any way).
@Patricia Cosma I'm not entirely sure I know the website has worked I've done a trial with my own credit card. What type of credit card are you trying to pay with? Paypal is also accepted if you have a Paypal acc
As a Dutch language teacher I use a lot of these techniques with my students. So thank you for sharing this with so many people. You mentioned that someone can't learn a language with 5 minutes a day, and you are correct, but I always tell people to write down words they don't know and then write one or two sentences with one word! E.g. verbeteren = to improve. Ik verbeter mijn Nederlands. Hij verbetert zijn techniek. And that's it. After a few hours you do another one. The brain needs this kind of stimulation, I call it "tricking your brain". So instead of trying to have a long conversation during 30min to an hour during a day, try to say / write one or two sentences every 3 or 4 hours. More often than not, people tend to study an hour, once or maybe twice a week and think that will do it. (I say this as most people will look for excuses, not having time, ups I forgot, my boyfriend planned a day away etc etc.) My students put alarms on their phones (daily, 3 to 5 times a day), and will explain/write what they are doing at that particular moment. This way they focus on words of actions they actually can apply in their day to day, instead of focusing on words in books they most likely won´t use. This will only take 5 to 10 minutes, but will trigger the brain into thinking in Dutch and "not having time" has no business here. Obviously this is good practice for beginners up until A2. After that you won't need this anymore.
@@w1mpyyyyy I recommend my students to use post-its in 2 very different colors (e.g. blue and yellow or orange and purple). Use one color for DE words and the other color for HET words. Most people are visual and will remember a color faster than De/Het. Also remember that words in plural (normal and diminutive) are always DE, and singular diminutives are HET.
it’s annoying when people always comment on the fluency of others. fluency can be subjective, but i believe fluency is when you can have clear and fluid conversations with native people about normal everyday things, when you can eavesdrop on conversations, when it comes naturally, when you can correct yourself, etc. that’s just me though.
This is inspiring to me as a native English speaker from Australia. Sometimes I feel really stupid when i watch "how to learn Dutch" videos from people who can already speak like 4 languages lol. It's inspiring to see other monolinguists learn another language to a good level. Thank you!
@@mrnoelle pero neerlandes e ingles tienen sus similitudes. creo que aprender ingles primero y ser fluido te ayuda con el neerlandes, aunque claro que tienen muchas diferenciad pero también similitudes
I'm so glad I filmed myself even on days when I had lost motivation it was perfect to be able to look back on a video from a few weeks ago and hear the difference in how much I had improved or even how bad I still thought I sounded it was a great motivator to keep going xx
Thank you! I was quite lost when trying to learn Dutch as I have no idea about the Netherlands culture and word. What drives me to learn the language is... I want to learn one and picked Dutch. And along the way I find the fun from the language and the place. Although there are no real emergency (having someone that I must communicate in Dutch) that push the progress, HAVING FUN is all one needs :) Your video has introduced me with many useful tools and interesting bits in the Netherlands which enriches my journey of learning Dutch.
The idea of learning to associate the words with pictures is brilliant. It should be obvious, but it isn’t. I’m definitely going to incorporate this into my learning, thanks for the brain wave.
Just bought a book 'Learn Dutch in 3 months'. Your tips seems so great, I'll try to do my best to learn it too since Netherlands is such a beautiful country and yeah let's fully dive into it
Started living in the Netherlands with my partner just over a month ago and I'm just as dedicated as you were to learning Dutch (as an Aussie myself) so I found this super super helpful!!! I'm using a mixture of Babbel and Duolingo to learn but also watching Dutch films and talking as much as I can in Dutch.
Great video and great tips. I would recommend Linguee instead of Google translate. Not only it lets you know if your word is an adverb, preposition, adjective... but also if it's a Het or De word. And huge advantage is that it puts the words in context by giving you examples.
YES this is what I need. Google translate absolutely sucks at de and het thanks for sharing I'll add it to the description too so other people can use it :)
40 years ago, there were not help from anyone, just cassettes, but it is so true, that radio, listening and tv watching helped me a lot ... awesome tips! ...I am still learning! LOL! thanks!
I appreciate the helpful tips and how diligent you were in coming up with a plan. I used to speak Dutch as a young child. My Father is prior military and we lived in the Netherlands for awhile. Unfortunately, I lost the language after returning to the states and being around predominantly English speakers. I’m really excited about relearning the language. Seeing how successful you were gives me hope!
It's so weird hearing your Dutch; you have got pretty much no accent, which is very fucking impressive, holy shit. But then your sentence structure/grammar isn't on a native-speaker level yet, I have never heard somebody speak like that before. You have a real talent for languages, please don't let this quite typically Dutch direct comment deter you from speaking Dutch! Also: you actually even have a somewhat Amsterdams accent, that's fascinating to me
structure and grammar are relative, it changes all the time and people use words however they want to, pronounce is the big deal here, if you speak fast enough without an accent people will not realize you're a foreigner even if you make lil mistakes
Another good series to practice Dutch is "Oogappels". I found it perfect while learning on the side words from the daily life. But well, while I am still far away from a fluent level, I was able to understand the series (with dutch subtitles) and enjoy it! :)
Came back to watch this video 3rd time and to thank you for the tips about watching movies in Dutch and for writing a diary in Dutch in simple sentences. Thank you!
Thank you so much for these tips! My partner and I are fellow Aussies and we fell in love with the Dutch language, we have started learning but only hope we can get this good within a year, subscribed! Dank Ye!
This was so great! Ive struggled to keep the consistency because I've found the apps are mainly focussed on reading and listening and the speaking was my issue! Definitely going to try this out. Thanks so much
Argh!! Speaking was my issue too! It's super intimidating because you have to think so quickly about what your saying plus listening to what the other person is saying...speaking was difficult. having my boyfriend (or a language partner) was key and also recording myself. I could literally hear the difference in my skill level and it motivated me to keep going 100%. I wish you all the luck I hope you can use some of these techniques. If you any questions regarding dutch resources or language learning stuff just let me know! I could talk about this stuff all day :)))
So good to hear! I hope they help you as much as they have helped me in the beginning. Don't give up no matter how much english dutchies speak to you, keep practising whenever you can :))) 👏👏👏
Great tips for learning Dutch! I (Josh) am currently learning Dutch for my partner (Siena) 😊 So cool that you were able to learn the language so quickly. Hard work certainly pays off!
It certainly does, hopefully sienna is on board and can be your practice buddy. Its not always fun in the beginning but the stricter she is with you the faster the progression will be especially for those days when you don't feel like it :) wish you all the best if you have any study questions or dutch questions just send me a DM on my instagram 📚👍
I'm not learning Dutch, but actually German, which seems a little similar. Anyhow, thanks so much for sharing your experience and tips, it was very inspiring !!
Thank you for your video i started learning dutch like 3 weeks ago i am still learning words and i struggle to make a sentences on my own ... Ill try to record my self and watch myself progress 👍 thanks again
I am just starting learning Dutch and hope next time when I leave a comment, I can write some simple sentences in Dutch. Thanks a lot!! Your videos are very very helpful.
watching cooking shows is genius! I try to watch the breakfast news every morning - they cover all the main events around the world, with a dash of humour too :)
This video is the GOAT! First of all, congrats on learning Dutch in such a short amount of time! I speak conversational german because my dad and grandma are from Germany and I like to be able to communicate with them through their native language. It's far from perfect and I struggle with syntax so I'm definitely going to try iTalki and Anki 😊 I already listen to podcasts but it's so genius to watch cooking videos! Wonderful tips Casey! -Lauren ❤️
How good is being able to speak another language! You'd be able to pick up Dutch in no time (if you even wanted to learn) with englosh and german umder your belt dutch would be a walk in the park! Im so glad our daughter will grow up bi lingual hopefully it emcourages her to learn even more languages when she's older
Wow, just found this helpful video on learning dutch. I learn dutch for almost 2 years and begrijp er niets LOL especially in spreken. But yes, podcast help me boost my vocabulary. And oh, I also watch Peppa Pig Nederlands on UA-cam like a lot, every morning. 🐷
I've been learning Dutch ever since I've been living in the Netherlands, which is 4 years now. Finding content in Dutch is... tough, really tough. I've been searching far and wide, asked many Dutch people and they were ALL (with only a couple of exceptions which came from older people), completely and utterly unable to give me the slighest recommandation. The amount of denigration of Dutch culture by young Dutch people is appaling. I often find myself to defend the beauty of the Dutch language against Dutchies themselves. Most of the time, when I start speaking Dutch people are quite impressed but mostly puzzled on why anyone would bother to learn such a useless and ugly language. I know I sound a bit harsh, and I apologize to any Dutch person that would disagree. But the reality is, this language is only so hard to learn because contrary to any other country, nothing pushes you to learn Dutch if you live in the Netherlands. I am the only expat I know who bothered to make an effort to learn. I know many people who have been living there for years and do not speak a word. Everyone will switch to English as soon as the conversation gets a bit slow because I'm searching for my words. There is basically little point to start any project in Dutch when you can hit a much wider audience by speaking English. All the content I now know and love was found all by myself after unending and ever-looping Google searches. I cannot thank you enough for all the content you put in the description, and I'm looking forward to hear more from you. I am putting here a list of different film directors, singers and UA-cam channels that I liked, if it might help you or anyone learning Dutch. -Boudewijn de Groot, my all time favorite Dutch singer. I have listened to his songs countless times and still do today. This may not be the cup of tea of many people, but I'm a great fan of French variety, so if you like this kind of thing you'll it. In the same style you can also listen to Ramsès Schaffy, Lisebeth List or even the Flemish version of some of Jacques Brel's repertoir that he translated. -If you prefer rock, give a chance to the Dijk a Dutch rock band. -This medieval-style song by this micro-band called t Brabants Kwartierke. They didn't do much, but I really like it. This one was tough to find, really. ua-cam.com/video/SR8OGROl7CQ/v-deo.html -Kabouter Wesley, a flemish mini serie of absurd humor which is simply hilarious. It has the advantage of having every said sentence written on screen which is the holy graal of language learning, and of extreme rarity when it comes to the Dutch language. I've even written French subtitles to share it with my friends: ua-cam.com/video/E8RGiInw7tk/v-deo.html -Speaking of absurd humor, the youtube channel Kud is in the same vein. Some of their videos are subtitled in Dutch but not all of them. -Again in the absurd humor category De Speld, a satirical newspaper which also posts a few video on their youtube channel. -DrugsLabs, a UA-cam channel which speaks about drugs and drug intake. -Zondag Met Lubach, a very popular Dutch TV show news satire show which unfortunately stopped this year. Also available with Dutch subtitles most of the time ! -The Dutch part of the filmography of Paul Verhoeven. -Two other film directors: Dick Maas and Alex van Warmerdam. I don't know many more unfortunately. -On the video game side, Death Stranding and Zelda Breath of the Wild have been translated in Dutch. Link's Awakening on Gameboy also have a Dutch version which you can easily find the ROM online. I do not know if the remake was transalted though. If one of those was on your bucket list, it might be a good opportunity to practice. -Spongebob in Dutch. Kid shows are basically the only content that gets translated in Dutch consistently. Spongebob is one of the rare kid show which can still have some value as an adult viewer. -Disney movies also have a Dutch version ! I could probably think of more, but that's already a solid list. I may edit it in the future if I feel like it. In any case, thank you again for your work and I look forward to follow you.
Hello！do you think its necessary to learn Dutch if i want to work there？like do i need to know the language to help me get the job here at bigger chance？or its more depend on the jobs titles and industries？thanks ahead🤗
@@rebeccasun8438 @Rebecca Sun Hey ! It does depends of the industry and your advancement. There are opportunities in English and other language. I worked as a French customer support agent for exemple. My gf works at a university in an English speaking program. But the bulk of offers are indeed in Dutch, and you really need a high level to work there. I am currently looking for a job so I'm not entirely sure of how hard it is. I applied for Amazon who work in English but still requires me to have an intermediate level in Dutch. I passed a small online test and their answer is pending so I can't tell now. So in a nutshell: is it necessary? No. Does it opens doors? Yes a lot. If you want to chat about it I may be able to answer more questions via mail: luros.primal@gmail.com.
That's really awesome you speak Dutch. I am 75% Dutch and my grandma and mom spoke fluent Dutch, but never wanted to teach me because they wanted to be able to say things in front of me so I wouldn't know what they were talking about. (Richie). Thank you for the info. Maybe I will give it a shot.
Oh you should totally give it a shot!!! To be far, now that we are currently in Aus me and my partner like being able to say things and no one know what we are saying haha! Learning dutch was one of the best things I've done and it has definitely inspired me to learn more languages especially now that I know it's possible. Thanks for watching guys
I'm Dutch myself but starting with a course on Swedish in September. I always enjoy watching your videos as it teaches me a lot about my native language, and i'm very glad that I can now use your tips and tricks myself as your videos are very clear and structured, so thank you! :)
Hello Casey, I am from Tasmania, Australia and my boyfriend is Dutch too (some similarities here haha). I have decided today to learn Dutch as I spoke to my partner's Oma last night and she did not understand English. I felt it was important that I should learn his language to communicate with his family. I am happy to have found you! and hope that with similar motivations I reach fluency too! :)
So many similarities, are you living in tassie or in the netherlands. My partners grandparents also don't understand any English and I remember it being a big motivator to let his family get to know me better if I could speak there language.
wow ur good at dutch, well done still some grammar mistakes here and there but they r nothing and everybody will be able to understand u perfectly amazing work
Casey, I love your videos. It is amazing how effectively you are able to pick up Dutch. I also started learning Dutch about a month ago and I highly highly recommend this book called "Basic Dutch: A grammar and workbook" by Jenneke A. Oosterhoff. This book can really help someone who wants a very systematic way of learning grammar. Btw keep making videos. xoxo
Hey Casey, this sounds like an excellent plan (a lot of effort but wow your Dutch skills are impressive). Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks :) I'm totally going to try it! Luckily I don't move for over a year so I have a bit more time!
Yes if you started now you'll blow people out of the water by the time you get there! Stay motivated it gets tricky but changing up your study style and binge watching language videos on UA-cam help me stay focused xx 👏👏👏
great video, I love watching the dutch show 'beste zangers' but I've never learned dutch so I just pretty much assume what they are saying based on their reactions to the musical performances hahaha
Oh this makes me so happy! I really wanted to make a video filled with all the things that helped me actually learn a language! I wish you all the best and I really believe that some of these tips will help speed up the process :)
I still cant pronounce the 'ui' sound properly lucky for me the 'g' wasnt a problem but the rolling 'r' 🤦♀️🤦♀️ I just cant get it!! Hahaha hopefully with more practice we will both get the sounds right hahaha is you native language english too? I think it's hard to make those sounds for us cause they jusy don't exist in English 🤷♀️
Thanks for the video and for all the links! Quizlet is also pretty helpful for the flash cards and you can find a bunch of sets made by other students and instructors :)
@@caseykilmore for sure, a lot of instructors use it to provide material for students... You can search the sets and add it to your account and also create your own sets. Good luck :)
Hey! This is so good! Let that be the takeaway. But if you're open for some constructive criticism: (Now, if you already heard this a thousand times I apologize and ignore that I said anything, but) The thing I'd advice you to work on improving based on what I'm hearing now(in a 3 month old video so again, maybe "overbodig") is your sentence structure. You have an english mind so obviously you tend towards english sentence structure... but it works a bit differently in dutch. One example: "ik ga jullie vertellen over hoe ik heb zo snel een tweede taal geleerd" would actually be "ik ga jullie vertellen over hoe ik zo snel een tweede taal heb geleerd" heb in this case is perfectly fine in an english sentence structure but it stands out painfully in a dutch sentence. You do the same a moment later "waarom ik heb voor nederlands gekozen" why i have chosen for dutch... "waarom ik voor nederlands gekozen heb" why i chosen for dutch have. Again though, I am really incredibly impressed with your mastery. I just saw your video on sounding more dutch and you sound so incredibly natural
This is GREAT! feedback. Thanks so much :) I sometimes hear things or say things and just feel like they are not right but never know why or how to correct them. You have easily picked up on the way that I use dutch is still in a very heavily english manner. More practice and more listening should hopefully help this but thank you for your compliments too it certainly does wonders for encouragement and I'm glad that you enjoyed the video. ☺☺☺
I’m learning Dutch currently and I’m so happy to have found Casey’s channel and thankful for Casey’s sharing the useful tips, yet your comment helped me too. Thank you.
Its so interesting to see how others learn languages! These are great tips, Casey! I may have to try a few of them to improve my Italian. I’ve basically relied solely on memorization (which is strong, but working harder versus smarter).
Complimenten voor je fantastische video's. Ze zijn origineel, geestig en ook nog leerzaam (zelfs voor mij als Nederlander). Hilarisch vond ik de video waarin je je verwarring beschreef over het woordje "erg" ("het is erg met hem"). Af en toe spreek je Nederlands, weliswaar in korte zinnetjes, maar niettemin genoeg om te horen dat je uitspraak héél goed is. Je hebt een beetje een Rotterdamse tongval, wat ik leuk vind als iemand die daar vlakbij geboren is. Een paar opmerkingen nog. Voor mij is er nauwelijks verschil tussen "ineens" en "opeens". Je kunt die twee echt door elkaar gebruiken. Altijd goed. Mijn indruk is dat "opeens" misschien vaker in het Westen van Nederland wordt gebruikt, maar daarin kan ik mij vergissen. In plat Amsterdams zeg je trouwens niet "ineens", maar "in ene". Tweede puntje. Meervoudige persoonlijkheidssstoornis (dubbel s) zijn echt twee woorden. Niet aan elkaar schrijven dus. Voor mijn pensionering was ik als psycholoog werkzaam in de psychiatrie, dus je kunt zeker op mij afgaan. Gek vind ik wel dat wij persoonlijkheidsstoornis aan elkaar schrijven terwijl je in het Engels "personality disorder" (los van elkaar) schrijft.
I've been learning Dutch for around 18 months and I am no where near as proficient as you are! I blame my lack of progress on working full-time and not being able to travel to the Netherlands very often normally and even less so now. I'm also not a natural bluffer, I get incredibly anxious if I'm unsure of how to pronounce a word correctly to the point that I will always order a cup of coffee just to avoid any potential awkwardness. I'm sure I will get over this in time and it's incredible (and reassuring!) to see the progress you've made in such a short space of time. Great content, thank you!
I used to get like this too, but it slowly goes away I promise and I think the quicker you can push through that hurdle of being afraid to make mistakes you really start to progress :))
Time is not particularly relevant to language learning but exposure is. You could study Dutch for 10 years and get nowhere as far as you would if you were in an isolated Dutch village for a year only speaking Dutch and nothing else. Also the video maker has the advantage that she is married to a Dutch person and lives there (exposure). If you have no one to speak to, you will not progress nearly as quickly.
I'm so gald you liked the tips! These were, and still are my go to ways to learn any language so hopefully they help you as much as they have helped me :)
This is really helpful. Dank je wel. I have been listening to Dutch songs on Spotify but apart from that, my motivation has been dying since the time I left Netherlands.
What dutch music have you been listening too?? Always on the lookout for new songs! I hope this motivated you. I loved learning a new language and it definitely inspired me to learn even more languages. How long ago were you in The Netherlands?
Casey Kilmore It’s been more than a month now and I have listening to mostly Dutch raps from Boef and Lil kleint. I really miss when I used to say ‘Ik spreekt a beetje Nederlands’ 😂
Hi Casey. This is awesome! Thanks for all your tips! Do you have a Spotify list for podcast or music that you can share? Thanks for rocking the flash cards ;)
Yay so glad you have the flashcards to use!!! They really are the easiest way to make the most progress. My spotify playlist is linked above in the description. Its alot of rap and at first I found dutch music a little strange but I'm a massive fan now 👏 you can follow it or just pick the songs you like to add to your own playlist
Loved the videos, just getting started on my Dutch learning journey. I am unable to download the study planner when I register on your website. Is there any other way I could get the study planner?
Hey Casey now you get better in speaking Dutch, do you find it more difficult to translate Dutch back to English? Or find you need more words or extra phrases to explain properly??
Hi Casey! I am giving Italki a chance too to learn Dutch but I am having a hard time deciding which tutor is best for me, could you give me some advice? Thanks! Your dutch is soooo good!
I only used it a few times to clear up some grammar questions I had about the language, the way I chose my teacher was a combination of budget and finding a personality I thought I might click with. I went for a teach rather than a community tutor and watched a lot of intro videos to get a feel for the person. With italki you can choose to do a trial lessons which are far cheaper than a full lesson and even sometimes free, this way you can see if you like the teachers teaching style before committing financially. if you are looking for someone to be with you long term I remember doing a few of them too. If you have any specific questions or want any tips just send me a message on my instagram @caseykilmore and I usually check the messages there more frequently than here :))) good luck with it all and happy studying 👍
Hey @Miriam, I'm learning Dutch on iTalki too and I can highly recommend Nina Rasevic to you! she's AMAZING! I had around 15 lessons with her and she makes it funny, interesting and her lessons are well structured! :)
Omggg 💕💕 big fan of u already hahhaa these tips are very helpful ! That long sigh after each words tho 😂😂😂 thats so relatable 😂 omggg your progress after 1 month is like sooo crazy
Voor nederlands leren? Zeg het in het nederlands is goed, eenvoudig en langzaam. Je kan ook transcripts voor de aflevering kopen zodat je kan lezen en luisteren op het gelijke tijd. Leven en gebruiksaanwijzingen is ook een goede, ze zijn kort en interessante onderworpen. Yous & yay new emotions is langer en meer van een echt gesprek met mensen maar ook goede onderworpen en goed om meer een natuurlijke conversatie to horen.
As a native Ukrainian speaker when I learn other languages I try to do it in English as a foreign language for me, for better learning of both ones, and try to trick my mind for a better learning process.
Thank you for this, your tips are really helpful!! Could you share your spotify playlist for dutch music too? I find that the spotify algorithm doesn't work as well for dutch music and I'm always struggling to find new dutch music :/
Of course!! My boyfriend has helped me make mine so have a listen and save whatever songs you like from it the link is here: open.spotify.com/playlist/3xSrInPaeVl1ajQReyTboM?si=TaXKkjHOTWy3XSCxeM-msQ

As a Dutch language teacher I use a lot of these techniques with my students. So thank you for sharing this with so many people. You mentioned that someone can't learn a language with 5 minutes a day, and you are correct, but I always tell people to write down words they don't know and then write one or two sentences with one word! E.g. verbeteren = to improve. Ik verbeter mijn Nederlands. Hij verbetert zijn techniek. And that's it. After a few hours you do another one. The brain needs this kind of stimulation, I call it "tricking your brain". So instead of trying to have a long conversation during 30min to an hour during a day, try to say / write one or two sentences every 3 or 4 hours. More often than not, people tend to study an hour, once or maybe twice a week and think that will do it. (I say this as most people will look for excuses, not having time, ups I forgot, my boyfriend planned a day away etc etc.) My students put alarms on their phones (daily, 3 to 5 times a day), and will explain/write what they are doing at that particular moment. This way they focus on words of actions they actually can apply in their day to day, instead of focusing on words in books they most likely won´t use. This will only take 5 to 10 minutes, but will trigger the brain into thinking in Dutch and "not having time" has no business here. Obviously this is good practice for beginners up until A2. After that you won't need this anymore.

Have adhd and dyslexia but its my dream to live in the Netherlands, om going to go at this with all i got!! Im swedish* this video was helpful ❤
oj vad bra,jag lär mig svenska just nu.
Great video and great tips. I would recommend Linguee instead of Google translate. Not only it lets you know if your word is an adverb, preposition, adjective... but also if it's a Het or De word. And huge advantage is that it puts the words in context by giving you examples.
YES this is what I need. Google translate absolutely sucks at de and het thanks for sharing I'll add it to the description too so other people can use it :)
Linguee is awesome! I use it all the time.
40 years ago, there were not help from anyone, just cassettes, but it is so true, that radio, listening and tv watching helped me a lot ... awesome tips! ...I am still learning! LOL! thanks!
Omg without the world of the internet I would be lost 😲😲 amazing job for starting 40 years ago and sticking with it!
I appreciate the helpful tips and how diligent you were in coming up with a plan. I used to speak Dutch as a young child. My Father is prior military and we lived in the Netherlands for awhile. Unfortunately, I lost the language after returning to the states and being around predominantly English speakers. I’m really excited about relearning the language. Seeing how successful you were gives me hope!
It's so weird hearing your Dutch; you have got pretty much no accent, which is very fucking impressive, holy shit. But then your sentence structure/grammar isn't on a native-speaker level yet, I have never heard somebody speak like that before. You have a real talent for languages, please don't let this quite typically Dutch direct comment deter you from speaking Dutch!
Also: you actually even have a somewhat Amsterdams accent, that's fascinating to me
structure and grammar are relative, it changes all the time and people use words however they want to, pronounce is the big deal here, if you speak fast enough without an accent people will not realize you're a foreigner even if you make lil mistakes
Thank you for sharing these tips. I’ve been using Rosetta Stone for two years, and am going to soon start a Dutch course with a university
I'm also learning but needed more structure this helped so much . Dank je wel
Another good series to practice Dutch is "Oogappels". I found it perfect while learning on the side words from the daily life. But well, while I am still far away from a fluent level, I was able to understand the series (with dutch subtitles) and enjoy it! :)
Me: *learns Dutch*
*dad walks in*
Computer: *2:06*
Haha lol
Came back to watch this video 3rd time and to thank you for the tips about watching movies in Dutch and for writing a diary in Dutch in simple sentences. Thank you!
So glad you've gotten so much from it and that it's helped 😄👌
Thank you for these tips! This gave me extra motivation to restart Dutch again, haha!!
Thank you.
Your tips are incredibly helpful. Although i am learning flemish apart from the accent and vocabs here and there it's pretty much the same.
Hey! Thank you so much for the tips!! I’m learning Dutch and I speak Portuguese, so with your videos I learn English too.
Bedankt! :)
Dank je wel Casey ....thanks alot and keept it up im learning already now to work with dutch
Thank you so much for these tips! My partner and I are fellow Aussies and we fell in love with the Dutch language, we have started learning but only hope we can get this good within a year, subscribed! Dank Ye!
So good to hear that your excited about dutch :)))
By learning I have learned ways to teach Dutch to English speakers better than I have experienced, at least in a classroom setting.
This was so great! Ive struggled to keep the consistency because I've found the apps are mainly focussed on reading and listening and the speaking was my issue! Definitely going to try this out. Thanks so much
Argh!! Speaking was my issue too! It's super intimidating because you have to think so quickly about what your saying plus listening to what the other person is saying...speaking was difficult. having my boyfriend (or a language partner) was key and also recording myself. I could literally hear the difference in my skill level and it motivated me to keep going 100%. I wish you all the luck I hope you can use some of these techniques. If you any questions regarding dutch resources or language learning stuff just let me know! I could talk about this stuff all day :)))
Moved to the Netherlands for uni from Australia this August and your videos have been super helpful, just purchased the anki deck from your website :)
So good to hear! I hope they help you as much as they have helped me in the beginning. Don't give up no matter how much english dutchies speak to you, keep practising whenever you can :))) 👏👏👏
@@caseykilmore thanks a bunch! :)
By the way, I am a knitter and love your sweater. I think I will knit myself up one that looks like yours!
A friends mum knitted for me and I LOVE it!!
Dankjewel Casey, ik vind dit fantastisch! Handige tips, deze ga ik zeker gebruiken met het leren van een nieuwe taal.
ANOUK!!! Heel erg bedankt voor het kijken 🥰🥰🥰 alle beste met een nieuwe taal leren en hopelijk heb je wel wat geleerd xx
Great tips for learning Dutch! I (Josh) am currently learning Dutch for my partner (Siena) 😊 So cool that you were able to learn the language so quickly. Hard work certainly pays off!
It certainly does, hopefully sienna is on board and can be your practice buddy. Its not always fun in the beginning but the stricter she is with you the faster the progression will be especially for those days when you don't feel like it :) wish you all the best if you have any study questions or dutch questions just send me a DM on my instagram 📚👍
I'm not learning Dutch, but actually German, which seems a little similar. Anyhow, thanks so much for sharing your experience and tips, it was very inspiring !!
I have plans to travel to the Netherlands in a year to study abroad so thanks this will help thank you!
Me too :))
@@enfxrn It’s pretty exiting isn’t? Though studying can be hard so let’s do are best 💪💪💪
@@hellopeople873yesss it’ll be worth it
Thank you for your video i started learning dutch like 3 weeks ago i am still learning words and i struggle to make a sentences on my own ... Ill try to record my self and watch myself progress 👍 thanks again
hoe gaat het nu met uw Nederlands? heeft u veel geleerd?
I am just starting learning Dutch and hope next time when I leave a comment, I can write some simple sentences in Dutch. Thanks a lot!! Your videos are very very helpful.
Please do! Keep going and you'll get there for sure :)
Bedankt for the cooking videos! I've been looking all over for videos such as those!
watching cooking shows is genius! I try to watch the breakfast news every morning - they cover all the main events around the world, with a dash of humour too :)
This video is the GOAT! First of all, congrats on learning Dutch in such a short amount of time! I speak conversational german because my dad and grandma are from Germany and I like to be able to communicate with them through their native language. It's far from perfect and I struggle with syntax so I'm definitely going to try iTalki and Anki 😊 I already listen to podcasts but it's so genius to watch cooking videos! Wonderful tips Casey! -Lauren ❤️
How good is being able to speak another language! You'd be able to pick up Dutch in no time (if you even wanted to learn) with englosh and german umder your belt dutch would be a walk in the park! Im so glad our daughter will grow up bi lingual hopefully it emcourages her to learn even more languages when she's older
Casey Kilmore I like the way Dutch sounds! I think that’s amazing about your daughter! Kids who grow up speaking more than one language are so lucky 😊
Totally agree hopefully growing up with two languages encourages her to learn more as she gets older! 😊
Wow, just found this helpful video on learning dutch. I learn dutch for almost 2 years and begrijp er niets LOL especially in spreken. But yes, podcast help me boost my vocabulary. And oh, I also watch Peppa Pig Nederlands on UA-cam like a lot, every morning. 🐷
IK BEN PEPPA PIG 🐽
Thanks for these vids! I’m moving to Groningen in 2 weeks 😅
I've been learning Dutch ever since I've been living in the Netherlands, which is 4 years now. Finding content in Dutch is... tough, really tough. I've been searching far and wide, asked many Dutch people and they were ALL (with only a couple of exceptions which came from older people), completely and utterly unable to give me the slighest recommandation. The amount of denigration of Dutch culture by young Dutch people is appaling. I often find myself to defend the beauty of the Dutch language against Dutchies themselves. Most of the time, when I start speaking Dutch people are quite impressed but mostly puzzled on why anyone would bother to learn such a useless and ugly language. I know I sound a bit harsh, and I apologize to any Dutch person that would disagree. But the reality is, this language is only so hard to learn because contrary to any other country, nothing pushes you to learn Dutch if you live in the Netherlands. I am the only expat I know who bothered to make an effort to learn. I know many people who have been living there for years and do not speak a word. Everyone will switch to English as soon as the conversation gets a bit slow because I'm searching for my words. There is basically little point to start any project in Dutch when you can hit a much wider audience by speaking English. All the content I now know and love was found all by myself after unending and ever-looping Google searches. I cannot thank you enough for all the content you put in the description, and I'm looking forward to hear more from you.
I am putting here a list of different film directors, singers and UA-cam channels that I liked, if it might help you or anyone learning Dutch.
-Boudewijn de Groot, my all time favorite Dutch singer. I have listened to his songs countless times and still do today. This may not be the cup of tea of many people, but I'm a great fan of French variety, so if you like this kind of thing you'll it. In the same style you can also listen to Ramsès Schaffy, Lisebeth List or even the Flemish version of some of Jacques Brel's repertoir that he translated.
-If you prefer rock, give a chance to the Dijk a Dutch rock band.
-This medieval-style song by this micro-band called t Brabants Kwartierke. They didn't do much, but I really like it. This one was tough to find, really. ua-cam.com/video/SR8OGROl7CQ/v-deo.html
-Kabouter Wesley, a flemish mini serie of absurd humor which is simply hilarious. It has the advantage of having every said sentence written on screen which is the holy graal of language learning, and of extreme rarity when it comes to the Dutch language. I've even written French subtitles to share it with my friends: ua-cam.com/video/E8RGiInw7tk/v-deo.html
-Speaking of absurd humor, the youtube channel Kud is in the same vein. Some of their videos are subtitled in Dutch but not all of them.
-Again in the absurd humor category De Speld, a satirical newspaper which also posts a few video on their youtube channel.
-DrugsLabs, a UA-cam channel which speaks about drugs and drug intake.
-Zondag Met Lubach, a very popular Dutch TV show news satire show which unfortunately stopped this year. Also available with Dutch subtitles most of the time !
-The Dutch part of the filmography of Paul Verhoeven.
-Two other film directors: Dick Maas and Alex van Warmerdam. I don't know many more unfortunately.
-On the video game side, Death Stranding and Zelda Breath of the Wild have been translated in Dutch. Link's Awakening on Gameboy also have a Dutch version which you can easily find the ROM online. I do not know if the remake was transalted though. If one of those was on your bucket list, it might be a good opportunity to practice.
-Spongebob in Dutch. Kid shows are basically the only content that gets translated in Dutch consistently. Spongebob is one of the rare kid show which can still have some value as an adult viewer.
-Disney movies also have a Dutch version !
I could probably think of more, but that's already a solid list. I may edit it in the future if I feel like it.
In any case, thank you again for your work and I look forward to follow you.
Hello！do you think its necessary to learn Dutch if i want to work there？like do i need to know the language to help me get the job here at bigger chance？or its more depend on the jobs titles and industries？thanks ahead🤗
@@rebeccasun8438 @Rebecca Sun Hey ! It does depends of the industry and your advancement. There are opportunities in English and other language. I worked as a French customer support agent for exemple. My gf works at a university in an English speaking program. But the bulk of offers are indeed in Dutch, and you really need a high level to work there. I am currently looking for a job so I'm not entirely sure of how hard it is. I applied for Amazon who work in English but still requires me to have an intermediate level in Dutch. I passed a small online test and their answer is pending so I can't tell now.
So in a nutshell: is it necessary? No. Does it opens doors? Yes a lot.
If you want to chat about it I may be able to answer more questions via mail: luros.primal@gmail.com.
Luros thanks for ur respond！yeah i defo have many question about it as i considering move and work there！
@@rebeccasun8438 Ok then don't hesitate to send me a mail :)
Thank you for your comment, I will try these ressources.
Dank je wel! Thanks for these tips, Casey!! Currently learning Dutch just on dupolingo atm but will be incorporating some of these into my learning :)
That's really awesome you speak Dutch. I am 75% Dutch and my grandma and mom spoke fluent Dutch, but never wanted to teach me because they wanted to be able to say things in front of me so I wouldn't know what they were talking about. (Richie). Thank you for the info. Maybe I will give it a shot.
Oh you should totally give it a shot!!! To be far, now that we are currently in Aus me and my partner like being able to say things and no one know what we are saying haha! Learning dutch was one of the best things I've done and it has definitely inspired me to learn more languages especially now that I know it's possible. Thanks for watching guys
OMG! I would never have thought one can self a language! so so interesting
Thanks for watching Ram, hope you learnt something new :)
True. There is a lot to learn
I'm Dutch myself but starting with a course on Swedish in September. I always enjoy watching your videos as it teaches me a lot about my native language, and i'm very glad that I can now use your tips and tricks myself as your videos are very clear and structured, so thank you! :)
bedankt dit heeft echt geholpen
Hello Casey, I am from Tasmania, Australia and my boyfriend is Dutch too (some similarities here haha). I have decided today to learn Dutch as I spoke to my partner's Oma last night and she did not understand English. I felt it was important that I should learn his language to communicate with his family. I am happy to have found you! and hope that with similar motivations I reach fluency too! :)
So many similarities, are you living in tassie or in the netherlands. My partners grandparents also don't understand any English and I remember it being a big motivator to let his family get to know me better if I could speak there language.
wow ur good at dutch, well done
still some grammar mistakes here and there but they r nothing and everybody will be able to understand u perfectly
amazing work
Casey, I love your videos. It is amazing how effectively you are able to pick up Dutch. I also started learning Dutch about a month ago and I highly highly recommend this book called "Basic Dutch: A grammar and workbook" by Jenneke A. Oosterhoff. This book can really help someone who wants a very systematic way of learning grammar.
Btw keep making videos. xoxo
A massive THANK YOU for sharing this! I am about to start learning Dutch now that I am in the country for an internship. I am very excited to start!
Hi, I really liked ur annalogy about how grammer is like glue.
Hey Casey, this sounds like an excellent plan (a lot of effort but wow your Dutch skills are impressive). Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks :) I'm totally going to try it! Luckily I don't move for over a year so I have a bit more time!
Yes if you started now you'll blow people out of the water by the time you get there! Stay motivated it gets tricky but changing up your study style and binge watching language videos on UA-cam help me stay focused xx 👏👏👏
great video, I love watching the dutch show 'beste zangers' but I've never learned dutch so I just pretty much assume what they are saying based on their reactions to the musical performances hahaha
Great video! I am always interested in learning more about how I can improve learning Nederlands. Keep up the awesome videos.
So good to hear! How long have you been studying dutch for??
What a superb way to learn this very difficult Dutch. Jouw motivatie is dan ook de beste.
you have to do a video about the Friesian language! Our language is certified and is very different from Dutch it self!
Isn't Friesian supposed to be the closest to English too?...like almost a sister language.That's what I've heard anyway.
Hello Casey! With your video I'm learning english 😉 thanks Moira
Oh this makes me so happy! I really wanted to make a video filled with all the things that helped me actually learn a language! I wish you all the best and I really believe that some of these tips will help speed up the process :)
Thanks so much for the Spotify playlist! I love learning languages through music!
Great tips so far - thanks!! I find the pronunciation of G's especially difficult and the funny 'eww' vowel sound.
I still cant pronounce the 'ui' sound properly lucky for me the 'g' wasnt a problem but the rolling 'r' 🤦♀️🤦♀️ I just cant get it!! Hahaha hopefully with more practice we will both get the sounds right hahaha is you native language english too? I think it's hard to make those sounds for us cause they jusy don't exist in English 🤷♀️
Thanks for the video and for all the links! Quizlet is also pretty helpful for the flash cards and you can find a bunch of sets made by other students and instructors :)
Good one I'll have to check it out, I've just decided to start learning mandarin, would quizlet also be good for that??
@@caseykilmore for sure, a lot of instructors use it to provide material for students... You can search the sets and add it to your account and also create your own sets. Good luck :)
Hey! This is so good!
Let that be the takeaway.
But if you're open for some constructive criticism:
(Now, if you already heard this a thousand times I apologize and ignore that I said anything, but)
The thing I'd advice you to work on improving based on what I'm hearing now(in a 3 month old video so again, maybe "overbodig") is your sentence structure. You have an english mind so obviously you tend towards english sentence structure... but it works a bit differently in dutch.
One example: "ik ga jullie vertellen over hoe ik heb zo snel een tweede taal geleerd" would actually be "ik ga jullie vertellen over hoe ik zo snel een tweede taal heb geleerd" heb in this case is perfectly fine in an english sentence structure but it stands out painfully in a dutch sentence.
You do the same a moment later "waarom ik heb voor nederlands gekozen" why i have chosen for dutch... "waarom ik voor nederlands gekozen heb" why i chosen for dutch have.
Again though, I am really incredibly impressed with your mastery. I just saw your video on sounding more dutch and you sound so incredibly natural
This is GREAT! feedback. Thanks so much :) I sometimes hear things or say things and just feel like they are not right but never know why or how to correct them. You have easily picked up on the way that I use dutch is still in a very heavily english manner. More practice and more listening should hopefully help this but thank you for your compliments too it certainly does wonders for encouragement and I'm glad that you enjoyed the video.
☺☺☺

I'm glad you found this helpful! 😃
I’m learning Dutch currently and I’m so happy to have found Casey’s channel and thankful for Casey’s sharing the useful tips, yet your comment helped me too. Thank you.
@@marinagrey9031 I'm very glad you found it useful😊
thanks for sharing the tips!
Thanks for watching! I hope you managed to learn some tips you hadn't heard before to help speed up the language learning journey 🙌🙌☺
Its so interesting to see how others learn languages! These are great tips, Casey! I may have to try a few of them to improve my Italian.
I’ve basically relied solely on memorization (which is strong, but working harder versus smarter).
So glad to of helped, looking forward to seeing more videos of your life in italy :)) hope they help!
Complimenten voor je fantastische video's. Ze zijn origineel, geestig en ook nog leerzaam (zelfs voor mij als Nederlander). Hilarisch vond ik de video waarin je je verwarring beschreef over het woordje "erg" ("het is erg met hem"). Af en toe spreek je Nederlands, weliswaar in korte zinnetjes, maar niettemin genoeg om te horen dat je uitspraak héél goed is. Je hebt een beetje een Rotterdamse tongval, wat ik leuk vind als iemand die daar vlakbij geboren is.
Een paar opmerkingen nog. Voor mij is er nauwelijks verschil tussen "ineens" en "opeens". Je kunt die twee echt door elkaar gebruiken. Altijd goed. Mijn indruk is dat "opeens" misschien vaker in het Westen van Nederland wordt gebruikt, maar daarin kan ik mij vergissen. In plat Amsterdams zeg je trouwens niet "ineens", maar "in ene".
Tweede puntje. Meervoudige persoonlijkheidssstoornis (dubbel s) zijn echt twee woorden. Niet aan elkaar schrijven dus. Voor mijn pensionering was ik als psycholoog werkzaam in de psychiatrie, dus je kunt zeker op mij afgaan. Gek vind ik wel dat wij persoonlijkheidsstoornis aan elkaar schrijven terwijl je in het Engels "personality disorder" (los van elkaar) schrijft.
I've been learning Dutch for around 18 months and I am no where near as proficient as you are! I blame my lack of progress on working full-time and not being able to travel to the Netherlands very often normally and even less so now. I'm also not a natural bluffer, I get incredibly anxious if I'm unsure of how to pronounce a word correctly to the point that I will always order a cup of coffee just to avoid any potential awkwardness. I'm sure I will get over this in time and it's incredible (and reassuring!) to see the progress you've made in such a short space of time. Great content, thank you!
I used to get like this too, but it slowly goes away I promise and I think the quicker you can push through that hurdle of being afraid to make mistakes you really start to progress :))
Time is not particularly relevant to language learning but exposure is. You could study Dutch for 10 years and get nowhere as far as you would if you were in an isolated Dutch village for a year only speaking Dutch and nothing else. Also the video maker has the advantage that she is married to a Dutch person and lives there (exposure). If you have no one to speak to, you will not progress nearly as quickly.
This was so much fun to watch 😄
Great tips and insights as well 👏
I'm so gald you liked the tips! These were, and still are my go to ways to learn any language so hopefully they help you as much as they have helped me :)
Amazing, lets speak Dutch together! :)
This is really helpful. Dank je wel. I have been listening to Dutch songs on Spotify but apart from that, my motivation has been dying since the time I left Netherlands.
What dutch music have you been listening too?? Always on the lookout for new songs! I hope this motivated you. I loved learning a new language and it definitely inspired me to learn even more languages. How long ago were you in The Netherlands?
Casey Kilmore It’s been more than a month now and I have listening to mostly Dutch raps from Boef and Lil kleint. I really miss when I used to say ‘Ik spreekt a beetje Nederlands’ 😂
Hi Casey. This is awesome! Thanks for all your tips!
Do you have a Spotify list for podcast or music that you can share? Thanks for rocking the flash cards ;)
Yay so glad you have the flashcards to use!!! They really are the easiest way to make the most progress. My spotify playlist is linked above in the description. Its alot of rap and at first I found dutch music a little strange but I'm a massive fan now 👏 you can follow it or just pick the songs you like to add to your own playlist
Super helpful Casey, very clever, practical, unique ideas.
Thank you 😊😊
Oh gosh the thought of using subtitles on UA-cam scares me. Those things are so incredibly wrong sometimes lol
Subtitles are a great way to link languages and increase vocabulary. It's not about perfect it's a start.
girls a total genius
thank you
Loved the videos, just getting started on my Dutch learning journey. I am unable to download the study planner when I register on your website. Is there any other way I could get the study planner?
Yo! Your description is missing the links you keep referring to :) would love to have them!
🤦♀️🤦♀️ all updated!! Thanks for telling me can't believe I forgot hahaha
Exactly what I was looking for, keep making such videos.
Bedankt
Hi Casey! I really enjoyed your video. Do you have any book recommendation?
Hey Casey now you get better in speaking Dutch, do you find it more difficult to translate Dutch back to English? Or find you need more words or extra phrases to explain properly??
Hi Casey! I am giving Italki a chance too to learn Dutch but I am having a hard time deciding which tutor is best for me, could you give me some advice? Thanks! Your dutch is soooo good!
I only used it a few times to clear up some grammar questions I had about the language, the way I chose my teacher was a combination of budget and finding a personality I thought I might click with. I went for a teach rather than a community tutor and watched a lot of intro videos to get a feel for the person. With italki you can choose to do a trial lessons which are far cheaper than a full lesson and even sometimes free, this way you can see if you like the teachers teaching style before committing financially. if you are looking for someone to be with you long term I remember doing a few of them too. If you have any specific questions or want any tips just send me a message on my instagram @caseykilmore and I usually check the messages there more frequently than here :))) good luck with it all and happy studying 👍
@@caseykilmore thank so much for the info! I will definitely do that first before committing long term. 😊
Hey @Miriam, I'm learning Dutch on iTalki too and I can highly recommend Nina Rasevic to you! she's AMAZING! I had around 15 lessons with her and she makes it funny, interesting and her lessons are well structured! :)
thanks for the info , this will help alot
Omggg 💕💕 big fan of u already hahhaa these tips are very helpful ! That long sigh after each words tho 😂😂😂 thats so relatable 😂 omggg your progress after 1 month is like sooo crazy
Jacquie thanks so much for watching 🥰 hope you can use some of the tips for when you start to learn dutch, before you move there 🙌🙌
Hoi Casey! dank je wel voor jouw filmpje. Wlke podcasts raad je aan?
Voor nederlands leren? Zeg het in het nederlands is goed, eenvoudig en langzaam. Je kan ook transcripts voor de aflevering kopen zodat je kan lezen en luisteren op het gelijke tijd.
Leven en gebruiksaanwijzingen is ook een goede, ze zijn kort en interessante onderworpen.
Yous & yay new emotions is langer en meer van een echt gesprek met mensen maar ook goede onderworpen en goed om meer een natuurlijke conversatie to horen.
As a native Ukrainian speaker when I learn other languages I try to do it in English as a foreign language for me, for better learning of both ones, and try to trick my mind for a better learning process.
Thank you for this, your tips are really helpful!! Could you share your spotify playlist for dutch music too? I find that the spotify algorithm doesn't work as well for dutch music and I'm always struggling to find new dutch music :/
Of course!! My boyfriend has helped me make mine so have a listen and save whatever songs you like from it the link is here: open.spotify.com/playlist/3xSrInPaeVl1ajQReyTboM?si=TaXKkjHOTWy3XSCxeM-msQ
