As a Belgian myself who speaks Dutch, I can 100% understand what you are saying. You make rather little mistakes, it's really impressive you can talk like this already in 6 weeks!
@@SY-tk2eg Flemish is more a term to talk about several dialects in Flanders but the official language is Dutch with some small differences with the Dutch spoken in Netherland. Just like British and American English.
@@Soso-nl2dh Fleming here, there is definitely a difference between Flemish and Dutch, yes it is the same language but there are apart from the pronunciation also other differences. It's more different I would say between BE and AE, since there are a lot more of different expressions and words. English only arrived in America in the 1600s so the evolution is way less; while dutch has grown apart over 1000 years.
I come from 'Dutch East Indies', now Indonesia. I live in Batavia, now Jakarta. Before World War II, the official language in Indonesia was Dutch. The Dutch had colonized my country for about three hundreds and fifty years. My first acquintance with Dutch language occured very slowly around 1986, several months before I learnt my first foreign language, English. In Indonesia at that time, people learnt English in the first grade of Junior High School. I have learnt Dutch since 1987 without any teachers. I was thirteen years old at that time. I was entering junior high school. My father gave me his English dictionary. It was small and old. I was happy, but not very because I was scared I could not make it. My father was not very friendly to me when I got bad scores at any subject at school. Later, he gave me a popular dictionary. It was a very old small book that many parts of it was cracked. I opened that dictionary and saw beautiful and chic writings, which I knew later it was Dutch. Those words were unique to my eyes. There was a pronunciation guide using Indonesian spelling, and not with phonetic symbols like I found in English dictionaries. The spelling of that foreign language was regular, which means that the spelling represents its pronunciation, just like Indonesian spelling, which later I knew it was made based on Dutch spelling. Then, I fell in love with Dutch language. I could not do anything. I just read the popular dictionary during my spare time. In my father's shelf I found my father's Javanese-Dutch old dictionary. I opened it and found many words which I also found in my father's German books, like "der, des, den". One day, it being several days before Eid-ul Fitr Day, some of my father's students came to my house. They brought a big basket in which there were gifts for Eid-ul Fitr Day. One of the gifts I found there was a tin of powdered chocolate drinks. I saw various texts written in various language on the tin, one of foreign language being Dutch. I was so happy and took good care of it well. The tin is still in my locker until today. My love for Dutch got more, but I could not do anything. My father did not like Dutch and Dutch people. I could not ask him questions about Dutch freely. Initially, I read German grammar books belonging to my father because I could not find books on Dutch in local bookshop and because I wanted to learn German, too. I really wanted to know why "der, des, den" could be found in Dutch books, too. My having done so, many years after that, I learnt why the Dutch call their country "Het koninkrijk der Nederlanden", why the church is named "Het huis des Heren", etc. BUT, books cannot say anything, and I was not satisfied. My father had a cassette. There was a beautiful oldie, which, my father said, it was sung in Dutch. It was "Sonja" (De Four Tak). I listened to the song again and again to recognize Dutch speech sounds. It sounds like German to my ears. Then, I found Radio Nederland, Deutsche Welle, BBC and VOA on shortwave. I had learnt foreign languages since. I listened in to those radio stations almost every day happily. I relied on my observant ears to recognize each speech sound of each language. Then, I tried to imitate all native speakers I heard from SW radio stations. Sometimes, my mother looked at me alone in my sleeping room, wondering why I talked to myself and might consider I was crazy. I made lists and notes in my books. I compared speech sounds of the three languages. I wondered why they looked alike. Sentences like "What is that? Wat is dat? Was ist das?" were my favourites. I did not know much about Germanic languages at that time. When I was nineteen years old in senior high school in 1993, I learnt that there were Germanic languages, with English, Dutch and German being their members. Now, I am almost fifty years old. My effort in learning foreign languages alone without any teachers becomes part of my past. It has no economical value. It does not give me any money. However, I was happy.
Halo, Mas/Ibu. Leuk u te ontmoeten. Indonesian here. That was an incredible story. I would love to have a conversation with you in Dutch someday. I first learnt Dutch around the start of my university studies in Groningen, Netherlands, and I fell in love with learning languages since then; currently I'm learning German and French (mostly by playing Duolingo). Nog een fijne dag
Wow you were very determined and that's a great job you did pak/bu. Ik ben jetzt 16 jahre alt und versuche deutsch ubd niederländisch zu lernen. Ich kann nicht lügen, ich liebe sprachen lernen. Sorry for mixing dutch and german at the same time tho
I'm a Native Dutch speaker and am fluent in English, but even I don't know how to translate "I am the pain point of contact for all customer queries concerning offshore trade" without writing it down or needing some considerable time to think about it. Learning languages is not about learning translations. It's about learning meaning.
when i started watching the video you spoke dutch so well and clear that i thought i accidentally clicked on a dutch video. thats mad impressive dude holy shit just 6 weeks??? im belgian (on the dutch side) and i understood everything you said. this was 4 years ago too, i cant imagine how much your dutch improved since then.
I think one of the most important things I've learned is that people don't give a shit if you speak Dutch perfectly, they are just happy that you are even trying! Any time I fumbled while speaking people are always very encouraging and understanding that it is a difficult language. :)
I tried it and it works. Just learning to listen like a baby’s and speaking afterwards has already made so many connections in your brain that it becomes easier for you to speak the language and in the Dutch tone
I was about halfway through the video, understanding everything before I realised my subtitles were in Dutch. Makes sense when you explained the vocabulary trick at the end.
I'm on recovery for back surgery thats going to last about 6 weeks. How wonderful would it be to recover and know a second language. Now all I need is dutch stuff to listen to
This is amazing! Dutch is not an easy language, especially when trying to learn it "grammar first", so your method is very impressive! I've been binging your videos for a while, and just found out that your channel is relatively small, even though you have such great content! Keep it up!
Dutch is actually quite an easy language, especially for English speakers. For English speakers it is even classified as the easiest language to learn (well, Frysian is probably easier). The grammar is a bit more complicated than English, but WAY simpler than most other European languages, especially its brother language German. As a child I also heard the myth that Dutch was a hard language, but really... it isn't. Just those g's... However ANY language is difficult to learn grammar first, I agree wholeheartedly!
I'm going to do this just because I love languages and recently got into a little dutch online series called Ongezellig. I also think it'll help me get better at German (I struggle a lot with it and maybe learning a similar - yet most likely easier language will help me pass my exams at university + I'll be able to work in the Netherlands in the future)
That is extremely impressive. I understood everything you said, no problem at all, and you are able to speak at normal (native) speed, seemingly without needing to think much about what you are trying to say. Your accent is hard to place btw. Its resembles a Spanish accent sometimes, but also English and Afrikaans at other moments. From a scientific point of view, I'm very curious about your method. You clearly demonstrate that it works, so I can't argue with that, but I've always read that the brain is only sensitive to acquiring languages in this way during a certain period in the early years of life. Is that notion actually wrong? Is your brain wired differently from most other people?
hij heeft gelijk, in het begin is het makkelijkste gwn de woorden leren en de betekenissen ervan. Dan kun je de structuur en zinsopbouw even skippen, want het belangerijkste is dat je de taal begrijpt. Daarna is het beste om boeken te lezen in het Nederlands want dan ga je de structuur leren. Dit werkt eigenlijk het beste voor elke taal, die rare taal scholen die je gaan proberen uit te leggen wrm het niet de raam is maar het raam is zo confusing, vooral als je de taal nauwelijks kent, later kun je dan zinsopbouw gaan leren in je eigen tempo. dan gaat dat veel makkelijker want je hebt al structuur voor een andere taal moeten leren. dus heb je al een beetje door hoe je dat wellicht kan toepassen aan een andere taal.
It's the comprehensible input method where you try to give yourself an input that you can grasp but not fully understand and then let your brain do the rest overtime. It was first discovered by Stephen Krashen and here's a video presentation on the matter from the 80's talking and demoing how it works ua-cam.com/video/fnUc_W3xE1w/v-deo.html
While no one retains the same sponge-like capabilities of a baby, you can still learn new languages to a near native level up until your later 20's (I think), and immersion learning like this is always the best way of doing it. Knowing other languages is a *huge* factor in this, bilingual people find it far easier to pick up new languages than monolingual people, and having multiple languages will also let you learn new ones later in life. (That's why polyglots often have dozens of languages, at that point picking up new ones is more like a hobby than a challenge) I don't know anything about this guy but I imagine this isn't his second language. (Edit: This guy is in fact a polyglot, which is why he has this ability!)
That is exactly it 😊. En als je Engeland komt kom je in Nederland ook heel ver. Kom je uit bv Afghanistan dan is het echt wel een stuk ingewikkelder . Even een podcast luisteren is er echt niet bij.
I'd concentrate on only one language to begin with, depending on the region you are moving to. If you are moving to a region in Flanders: learn Dutch, if you are moving to a region in Wallonia: French. If it is Brussels you are moving too I would suggest French, as more people there will speak French than Dutch, although any of the two is okay.
@@oceanbreezq8254 Then that changed to when I was in school, the only lesson I had in French was French itself. I am in university now, so lot's has changed over the years.
I grew up with Dutch speaking parents, one from Nederlands and one from Belgie. You're doing such a great job! Unfortunately, I don't speak Dutch fluently because they insisted on their children speaking English.
Hola! Soy de Canarias y acabo de descubrir tu canal gracias al vídeo que tienes sobre las diferencias entre el español y el canario (que por cierto me ha encantado). Casualmente estoy ahora mismo de Erasmus en Holanda así que trataré de aplicar tus consejos, aunque sería interesante que compartieras tu lista de "palabras importantes"! jeje Gracias!

Jaja qué guay, muchas gracias ! Espero que se inscriban tmbn ;) Dónde vas a estar en Holanda ? Al fi nal as palabras más importantes son las que tu personalmente utilizas mucho. Entonces si tu eres profe, vas a necesitar todo el vocabulario relacionado con tu cole y las materias que enseñas (pizarra, cole, profe, enseñar, aprender etc.)
Niet zozeer heel goed, eerder verbazend verstaanbaar voor iemand die pas zes weken nederlands leert. Bij een hele goede uitspraak denk ik aan een journaal lezer.
Omg! I speak german and learned dutch for about a month last year. I just watched some videos and played duolingo. But I could understand about 90 % of what you said! You used some basic words that we learn first in a new language, so it's not that surprising. I'm just surprised I remember some of it :))
istg im going to start study dutch at the university in a few months and im already in love with this language. I have some dutch friends ive known for 5 years now so I actually know some words or really simple sentences and now im looking out for videos just to hear the language once again (even tho im meeting my friends again in a week) because I just love how dutch sounds. I am really excited and I dont even know why
Wow you are terrific and amazing in the Dutch language! The method of learning with full interest and passive, or 'normale' way to comprehend and communicate 'Nederlands' is professional and effective! Groetjes en een welverdiende buiging 👏👏🧡
Got suggestions for Dutch music artists and/or Dutch podcasts? Considering at the start I will understand little, I am thinking just kind of nice conversational podcasts rather than ones that discuss complex technical concepts.
I grew up speaking english and Afrikaans and I want to learn to speak Dutch, German and Finnish. Dutch is sort of easy to understand and read because I know my Afrikaans but I want to actually speak the language like I've known it for my whole life
My problem is that I am not a sponge of knowledge anymore... Children have a great sense of absorbing and taking in new information, usually without forgetting it, and as a 15 y/o I am no longer capable of keeping the knowledge in my noggin...
@@Potjenjks2988 klopt Afrikaans en Nederlands hebben dezelfde 'roots' maar zijn beide verschillende wegen ingeslagen. Nederlands is qua grammatica ingewikkelder geworden dan Afrikaans. In het Nederlands zijn wij ook meer leenwoorden gaan gebruiken terwijl men in Zuid Afrika gewoon creatiever zijn geweest en er eigenlijk 'Nederlandse' woorden voor gekozen hebben waar wij het hebben laten vallen. Ongeveer vergelijkbaar met het Duits.
Jij spreekt zo goed Nederlands. Ik leer dat taal sinds dertien dagen en vind ik dat taal super en interessant :D Ik spreek niet goed maar leer ik veel, hoe in dat taal spreken. (Sorry for any mistakes)
@@thetrueoneandonlyladyprinc8038 Veel oeffenen, niet bang zijn fouten te maken, hoe meer fouten je maakt en corrigeert, hoe sneller je de taal leert. (note how in the above sentence the word 'hoe' doesn't get translated as 'how' but rather as 'the', as in "the more.... the faster....".)
Tu es vraiment doué, suis impressionnée par ton déjà super niveau en néerlandais mais à peine étonnée à vrai dire ! Et tes talents de comédien ahaha. Grosses bises
Well done... it actually sounds like you have had some German before embarking on Dutch. And yes you do look Dutch, you look like my cousin did from Holland.
The issue here is: can you identify as a full-fledged speaker of a language when you've only completed the elementary levels (A1 and A2), or are you rather at the level of a well-meaning and admirable tourist?
It depends on your goal, if you just want to enjoy a movie do whatever you like best but if you want to learn Dutch, best watch dutch spoken movies or series with subtitles in your native language. Though it's hard to pick up a language by merely watching, you will also need to practice speaking (and writing) it yourself.
I don't think that knowing French is of much use to learn Dutch. As a Dutch person myself French was the hardest language to learn when I was in school, German and English tend to come easier to native Dutch speakers. I'm not sure what kind of help you need, but I'll do my best answering any questions you might have about our language.
Je praat goed Nederlands 👏👏👏 Zelf vind ik het irritant als mensen hier al jaren wonen, maar geen moeite nemen om onze taal te leren. Nederlandse muziek vind ik vreselijk, op een paar artiesten na 😂

I have some dutch friends ive known for 5 years now so I actually know some words or really simple sentences and now im looking out for videos just to hear the language once again (even tho im meeting my friends again in a week) because I just love how dutch sounds.
I am really excited and I dont even know why
I want to learn Dutch to insult my friends when we play csgo
Je Nederlands is echt goed.
Wow you are terrific and amazing in the Dutch language! The method of learning with full interest and passive, or 'normale' way to comprehend and communicate 'Nederlands' is professional and effective! Groetjes en een welverdiende buiging 👏👏🧡
Wow, that's impressive!
Ik geef zelf Nederlands - Vlaams, maar op 6 weken zo goed praten als jij? Dat geloof ik echt niet!
Looking forward to watch the upcoming videos, keep it up mate 😊
Pro tip: Turn on captions and follow along. You'll be surprised how much you pick up from just listening
Im going to cry is moeilijk 😥
I learned that much in 6 months 😅 im still struggling but i am loving the process
Nice video!
Got suggestions for Dutch music artists and/or Dutch podcasts? Considering at the start I will understand little, I am thinking just kind of nice conversational podcasts rather than ones that discuss complex technical concepts.
I found Een Beetje Nederlands, which I think I will give a go.
Love this !! And the thumbnail 😂😂
Ofc you know much more than me in 6 weeks after I've been learning for over a year 😣
U need help?
maar nogsteeds ben je super slecht
@@daanl0447 ik denk het niet
@@read5470 yeah uh I want them but where do yuu is think I can learn I’m trying to tak to my only family really and it’s hard
@@lakekuipers7302 I am a Dutch teacher, don't know if you're interested?
Wow, this is impressive! Ik vind Nederlands een hele mooi maar erg moeilijke taal
if this is after weeks its very good but you live in amsterdam so probaly got to hear some dutch around you i think that helpt
Sounds somewhat like a South African accent, but impressive non the less! 👍
I grew up speaking english and Afrikaans and I want to learn to speak Dutch, German and Finnish. Dutch is sort of easy to understand and read because I know my Afrikaans but I want to actually speak the language like I've known it for my whole life
This is so enjoyable to watch
My problem is that I am not a sponge of knowledge anymore... Children have a great sense of absorbing and taking in new information, usually without forgetting it, and as a 15 y/o I am no longer capable of keeping the knowledge in my noggin...
Jij spreekt goed Nederlands! Ik ben ook Nederlands aan het leren.
Thanks
6 weeks, that is so so so impressive I must say.
This is just an amazing video !!
There is no option for learning Dutch on your website
Jou Nederlandse aksent is baie goed, hoe lank leer jy nou omdat ek kan jy duidelik te verstaan!
@@Potjenjks2988 klopt Afrikaans en Nederlands hebben dezelfde 'roots' maar zijn beide verschillende wegen ingeslagen. Nederlands is qua grammatica ingewikkelder geworden dan Afrikaans. In het Nederlands zijn wij ook meer leenwoorden gaan gebruiken terwijl men in Zuid Afrika gewoon creatiever zijn geweest en er eigenlijk 'Nederlandse' woorden voor gekozen hebben waar wij het hebben laten vallen. Ongeveer vergelijkbaar met het Duits.
Does anyone have any recommendations of good Dutch podcasts to listen to?
Nice tips
Jij spreekt zo goed Nederlands. Ik leer dat taal sinds dertien dagen en vind ik dat taal super en interessant :D Ik spreek niet goed maar leer ik veel, hoe in dat taal spreken. (Sorry for any mistakes)
GDShadowDasher A few mistakes but i could still read and understand what you wrote, good job! 🤩
@@Hoihoihoi1910 Thank you, dank je! :D
Hoe is je Nederlands nu we 2 jaar verder zijn?
I just started learning Dutch and I can understand most of this - I want to become super fluent fast...
@@thetrueoneandonlyladyprinc8038
Veel oeffenen, niet bang zijn fouten te maken, hoe meer fouten je maakt en corrigeert, hoe sneller je de taal leert.
(note how in the above sentence the word 'hoe' doesn't get translated as 'how' but rather as 'the', as in "the more.... the faster....".)
Tu es vraiment doué, suis impressionnée par ton déjà super niveau en néerlandais mais à peine étonnée à vrai dire ! Et tes talents de comédien ahaha. Grosses bises
Merci bcp damouredo :) Et bon courage pr ton projet d'enseignement !
Bravo! This is what i need to do !
dutch music, podcasts or movie recommendations?
HOLY SHIT je Nederlands is zo goed❤
Well done... it actually sounds like you have had some German before embarking on Dutch. And yes you do look Dutch, you look like my cousin did from Holland.
Yeah, this works
even as a kid of 4 years old speaking english it took me i think like 6 months to learn the basics
My head just exploded when you casually switched to advanced english lmao. It sounded suddenly so weird haha
Damn bro, that’s really good! 8 out of 10.
The issue here is: can you identify as a full-fledged speaker of a language when you've only completed the elementary levels (A1 and A2), or are you rather at the level of a well-meaning and admirable tourist?
6 weken? Hoe dan? Je kan echt super goed Nederlands!!! Goed bezig
I'm not sure how to find your website. The link address is for a website name Typeform. Is that where you post your video courses?
Where is the Dutch lessons ?
it’s a as life!’😢that was for me
What a cute baby :3
the course linked in the description doesnt have dutch :(
Ikkk it’s so annoying
Great and funny video! XD
anyone got any dutch podcast
Do I need to turn on the subtitles when I Dutch Netflix and Chill? Or I shouldn't? Thank you for the tips btw, I am coming to Belgium this September!
It depends on your goal, if you just want to enjoy a movie do whatever you like best but if you want to learn Dutch, best watch dutch spoken movies or series with subtitles in your native language. Though it's hard to pick up a language by merely watching, you will also need to practice speaking (and writing) it yourself.
Can't find Dutch in the typeform.
What do you mean?
Interesting video 🙌🏻😂
*leuk idee* 👍
Omg I wish I had your dedication!!! All I've done is some Duolingo hoping that my English and French would help me but no! I need help!!!! Lol
I don't think that knowing French is of much use to learn Dutch. As a Dutch person myself French was the hardest language to learn when I was in school, German and English tend to come easier to native Dutch speakers.
I'm not sure what kind of help you need, but I'll do my best answering any questions you might have about our language.
Je praat goed Nederlands 👏👏👏 Zelf vind ik het irritant als mensen hier al jaren wonen, maar geen moeite nemen om onze taal te leren. Nederlandse muziek vind ik vreselijk, op een paar artiesten na 😂
Imma do a combination of this and duolingo
Excellent!
You add english subtitles!! Think about it: who can/will benefit from this vid? Not the dutch nor dutch-speakers
Correction: you *should* add English subtitles..
why did i read the subtitles in a british accent?
