Dank u wel, Nout. I'm almost finishing my introductory course on Dutch by the Groningen University through the Future Learn Platform and your videos have helped me with my questions about that cause I way prefer the softer pronunciation of Flemish but, in some aspects, I also like the pronunciation of certain sounds in Netherlands Dutch. I don´t know if I pronounce the subtle difference of the phonemes represented by 'w' and 'v' in Dutch but I try to get as close as I can and as long as people understand me, it´s ok for me. I'm really relieved that Flemings pronounce their 'g's an 'ch's much softer though:-) We´re lucky to have teachers like you giving all this info for free on your channel.
Being Dutch, I personally agree completely with Nout. As long as people speak standarized Dutch (whether it’s the Netherlandic or Belgian variety) there’s not any problem communicating, except for a few differences in vocabulary and one or two grammatical differences (Het is beginnen te regenen (NL) het is beginnen regenen (B) is one of them I believe). Regional accents don’t really matter that much. Regional dialects is a whole different story though. Those can be a real mindfuck if you’re not familiar with a particular dialect and both the Netherlands and Belgium have plenty of those. However it’s rare to encounter someone who doesn’t speak standarized Netherlandic/Belgian Dutch, albeit with a strong accent in some cases.
Dankjewel Nout! What are the books that you recommend to intermediate students? I already have some for beginners and I can't find affordable options when it comes to more advanced books once learning dutch is not common where I live. Thanks for the videos, they help me a lot.
Hoi! I've studied Dutch two years (and when I've been to Antwerp, having learning Netherlands Dutch, it was tough, indeed, to me , as a non native Neerlandophone) and I'm beginning Afrikaans, I have some intuitions that this language but also Zelandised and Brabantised form of the Dutch language (+ the loanwords and some syntax to Khoi/San and Malay) can be a in-between the two main influences of Dutch: Belgian and Netherlands Dutch, no?
Ik heb de video nog niet gekeken maar ik kan als buitenlander wel zeggen dat de vele accenten echt verwarrend kunnen zijn. Als moedertaalspreker kan je dat slecht beoordelen.

Dank je wel for your comment, it helps me to have more insight on these differences too.
"Het is beginnen regenen" in Flemish*
@@TheBlackHandElite Thank you. I made a correction.
Thank you Sir.
If I want to visit Ghent, what dialect should I focus on?
Is Tussentaal popular there?
Is English spoken widely there?
Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much, your videos are incredibly insightful and helpful.
Kunt u alstublieft een video maken dat over passive voice gaat ?
Vielen bedankt kameraad!
Heerlijk bedankt ☺️ Nout...!!
Dank u wel!

Ja. Ik ga akkoord. Ik zeg dat ik Vlaams studeer omdat ik meer bekend ben met het Antwerpse Vlaamse accent.
Het is inderdaad dezelfde taal.
