I and u trick was so amazing! My bf has been trying to teach me u and uu for years and it was only this time that i finally got it 😂 dikke merci van antwerpen ❤
While I have to admit that my Dutch vocabulary is very limited (I learnt four new words in this video alone), I'm afraid that I have to correct your English, as though the Dutch word schuur can be translated as either 'barn' or 'shed', but in English 'barn' and 'shed' are two very different buildings, as a 'barn' is a large building on a farm, for storing hay, and a 'shed' is a far smaller structure, that's most commonly found in a back yard, for the purpose of storing tools for gardening, etc. And a shed is never referred to as a storage cabin. Getting back to the Dutch language, another word for wall is 'wand', though I think it isn't all that common, as the Dutch prefer the French loanword 'muur'.
Thanks for clearing this up Hamish. Although the large farm building is also 'schuur' in Dutch, as is the shed. It's sometimes a challenge to find the exact translation in English of a Dutch word I am explaining. And you are exactly right, 'muur' and 'wand' are synonyms. In stores where you can buy items for your wall they mostly use the word 'wand'. E.g. a wall cabinet is a wandkast or wandmeubel.
@@dutchforexpats I know what you mean, when you say that it's a challenge, to find an exact translation, as I often find it almost impossible to translate a sentence in Dutch, which is why I find Dutch so difficult, and struggle to reach A2 level, even though I've been trying to learn Dutch for four years.
I totally get the struggle learning Dutch. Even I think sometimes, while I am preparing my videos, "wow this doesn't even make sense". E.g. a slice of bread with butter and ham = een boterham met boter en ham. In daily life you don't wonder about the words you speak, but if you are studying it, you will notice many irregularities.
@@hamishmackinnon2231 So, after four years you’re still struggling with Dutch?! After years of procrastination, I’ve been seriously studying it for exactly two months and a day. I see I still have a long way to go. 😬

Love this! Ik ben blij dat mijn uitleg je heeft geholpen!
Is last way of pronouncing only for words spelled with just U and not eu?
That is correct, Hugo! The third way of pronouncing never applies to words with eu. Like ‘Europa’ needs the second pronunciation. Also deur and kleur.
@@dutchforexpats Thank you! Love your videos.

I've always thought that the Dutch sch is the sound a dog males before it vomits!
I’ve never heard a dog vomit, but I will take your word for it. 😅
