Here's the first video in a series on Dutch word order. This is a topic I get a lot of questions on, and for good reason. It's not an easy topic. Since there is a lot to say about Dutch word order, I have limited myself to the basics for this video. Future videos will cover more advanced topics, so stay tuned or subscribe to the channel. Let me know what you think!
Bro I have been trying to learn for dutch sentence building for like two years now. People unnecessarily complicate things and it goes over my head, but you just solved the most fundamental problem for me within 10 minutes! You are a great teacher! Definitely subscribing.
"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler". - Albert Einstein.. Thanks a lot Niels for making learning dutch simple and also not simpler at the same time =) ..
FINALLY! A good, simple, and straight to the point method to teach something that is really difficult for beginners. Thank you very much for this video, you're awesome! Please continue the good work :-)
I've been getting my ass beaten up by Duolingo with those word orders. My husband and his family, the native speakers, can't explain properly to me, just to stay whether it is wrong. Thank you so much, man!!!!!!!!!
I really wish you were still making content! Dutch language teachers have really taken off the last couple of years on UA-cam (especially since your last videos were made), and your explanations are by far the CLEAREST among all the best content creators. This and your lightbulb moment inducing explanation of the use of "er" are two prime examples! Would love to see you return to (re-)join the ranks of the best Dutch language instructors on UA-cam!
I am spending a year abroad and have been taking Dutch lessons for about 2weeks,and nothing has helped me as much as this 11 minute video. Thank you so much this saved my life living in holland
you are incredible!!!! my dutch teacher has been explaining this for 4 lessons and i didn't understand, but you, in an 11 minutes video, explained it clear and in a convenient way!! thank you very much!
This is a phenomenally good video, it's amazing how clearly you present a complex topic. I love studying languages but I always find grammar confusing, your video explained everything in a way that made sense. I'm currently learning Dutch and your videos are a joy to watch! Thank you so much!
You made something seemingly complicated very simple to understand. Also, your explanation of what a subject and verb are is such an easy explanation for those who don’t understand grammar in general. This is helpful to those people who were never taught basic grammar, so have no idea what is meant by a verb etc. Stating that a verb is an action word is such a great way to clarify it. You do not seem to have made any recent videos. That is a pity as you are a born teacher, but, it’s great that these videos are still on the web helping many throughout the years, become fluent in Dutch. Goed leuk with whatever your endeavours are now.
Niels, your lesson is absolutely amazing. You took only 8 minutes to make me clearly and effortlessly understand something I've been struggling with for the last 5-6 days, reading all sorts of materials, from grammar books to academic essays on that issue.... Anyway! Thanks a lot man! 🙃
Hoi! Hoe gaat het met jou? Dank je wel voor die informaties ! Je bent super helpfull 😉 My Dutch book wasn’t enough and I was looking for a Dutch person to explain the basics on how to creat a correct sentence and THERE YOU ARE MATE ! 🥰 I was learning vocabs and verbs and prépositions but not how to creat a sentence ( order of things ) so thank you very much for doing those videos ! Wave 👋 from France 🇫🇷
I really enjoyed this video even though I am at the very beginning of learning Dutch. When I say very beginning I mean that I still have to learn the Dutch Alphabet and how to pronounce each letter properly in Dutch. So you can see how much of a beginner I really am. But this video is wonderful. It is so clear and concise as to the structure of a sentence in Dutch. Thank you so much for this video and please make more videos on this subject of sentences as this is really helpful. I really want to learn the Dutch language so I will keep an eye out for more of your videos. Thanks once again.
Hello! I've just decided to study Dutch today because I'm going to visit an old friend in Amsterdam this summer. It's so clear and easy to understand! Thank you so much. I'll keep watching your videos!
I'm afrikaans and I'm really interested in not only the Netherlands as a nation, but in the language and culture. I love learning about the "father" of my language.

You're an amazing teacher. Best explanation ever. Your English is oustanding too. There are lots of new learn dutch videos out there now but they don't compare with yours. Sorry you gave it up, hope you're teaching in a college somewhere!
Hello Bro and thanks for this amazing videos, you really make Dutch look easy and fun to learn, the "word order" subject is one of the hardest things in Dutch, it would be great if you can make another video more in-depth with a lot of examples about that, lets say this one is the basic and the new video will be in-depth of it, Thanks a lot for your efforts. Cheers.
Broo i was sitting for 2hours straight trying to understand whiteboard from my teacher and trying to make an examples with chatgpt, always wrooong. After your movie all is clear thank god!
I have been wondering about sentences contruction in dutch and it wanted to drive me crazy (lol) but thanks to your video these sufferings are in the past. I really enjoyed it thanks Niels. Do you have videos on inversion in sentences?
I'm going to say what most people here have said. 1. Thank you! Hartelijk Bedankt. 2. You are very clear in your teaching. 3. I've been studying Dutch for the past year using Duolingo but miss something like your demonstration, using subtitles, of which parts of the sentence are which! I understand the language if I know the topic as my father and mother spoke it often. Unfortunately they did not encourage us to speak Dutch. So, I find it hard to construct the sentence. I'm now in my 70's and enjoy the learning process. You have made it much easier with your videos. Thanks for leaving them up. 😃
Just loved the way you explained it Niels. So simple and very easy to understand. I also liked your idea of keeping the video small to cover the basics in first one and adding more videos for later to include more difficult and complex sentence. Thanks and well done!!
Speaking of word order I can't figure out where to put "niet". l feel like I'm only about 50% on Duolingo. In case you're looking for video ideas. btw this video was very helpful.
Yes, this will definitely be the subject of a future video. It's a pretty complex topic, so I'm still thinking about a way I can teach it without getting too technical. Thanks!
Hi Christopher, thanks for watching my channel. Unfortunately I don't have quite enough videos yet to be able to say that it's a full program. I would recommend finding an existing method and supplementing it with my videos, as well as other materials that you can find. It's always best to use multiple sources and methods when learning a language: It'll help you understand things better, and it'll keep you from getting bored
@@christophermohr9606 And it will be helpfull as well to take Dutch children's books or language- education-programmes: Like 'The caterpillar'/'Rupsje Nooitgenoeg' or the Alphabet for toddlers, Peppa Big in Dutch and video's of Schooltelevisie. It is fun & helpfull!
I have been learning Dutch on Duolingo for almost a year now but still, I was having a hard time to get the order of the words in a sentence! I was trying to find a pattern on my own and felt like ripping my head off! You made it so easy , Thank you very much!
You're an amazing teacher!you made it so simple and clear to understand this topic, then at the end practising my first Dutch sentences was so good!Thank you
I know this was posted a long time ago, but this is one of the most helpful videos I've ever watched. Sentence structure is the one thing that has constantly confused me with trying to learn Dutch and has result in many a plateau with my learning. This is a very simple breakdown that I have screenshotted a whole bunch and will re watch often as I try to commit it to memory so thank you very much for this
Before your video about the word order i watched someone else. It was a package that i got and ofcourse spent some money on it. Unfortunately then couldnt understand as i did now. You have a perfect style of teaching. It is awesome thank you!
Hi Merve, I'm glad the video helped you understand this topic better. I'll keep making videos so that there's more free information out there to help people learn my language! Thanks for your comment!
Your teaching style is so easy to follow :) I’ve been learning Dutch for about a month now and word order was still giving me a bit of a hard time. This is so easy to understand and now I’m not making that many mistakes with word order anymore. I’ve watched all of your videos and they’ve all been so helpful, I do hope you will find the time to make more. I would love to see one on where “niet” belongs in a sentence. I have no problem placing it when describing something, like “Het huis is niet geel”, but when using it to say something is not happening or someone is not doing something is another story! Anyway, dank u for helping me learn this beautiful language

Yeah, where did you learn dutch at school
Or maybe you're just dumb

Dankuwel. You have explained the mystery that the notorious Green Owl keeps hidden!
So true! Sneaky little Duo 😅

Duolingo is for vocab
You're so helpful! Best teacher ever.

"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler". - Albert Einstein.. Thanks a lot Niels for making learning dutch simple and also not simpler at the same time =) ..
You're welcome Felix, glad you like the video. As promised, I'll cover some of the more difficult topics later (including the ones you requested)

Please continue the good work :-)
Very tidy and understandable....thank you so much.
Niels, you da man! I've been struggling with this and you make it easy. Ik houd van de baard.
Dank je! ;-) Ik ben blij dat het helpt
I'm jealous. I want to get a lot better.

Thank you Niels!
I am spending a year abroad and have been taking Dutch lessons for about 2weeks,and nothing has helped me as much as this 11 minute video. Thank you so much this saved my life living in holland
Very clear explanation of one of the most difficult parts of the language differences. Foundational.
You are an amazing teacher! I have never understood the 'word order basics' so well before. Thanks a ton, Neils!
Wowwww.... Thank you. Great Teacher. Easy to understand 🙏🙏
Thank you
6 months of dutch at a university and this guy teaches me dutch word order in 11 minutes, better than my actual lecturers
Tells a lot about the pathetic level in university. It's crazy to know that people like you will get a diploma without even speaking the language
You are letterly talking about the topics that i really want you to talk about... Thank you man
In these 11 mins, I learned more than what i learned in the 9 months i stayed in the NL smh
same lmaooo
I will up my contribution if you make more videos Niels. You are an excellent teacher.
Brilliant video, everyvtime I watch Niel's videos I learn more Dutch. In fact, I have watched each of them several times because they are excellent!
Oh please make the other video about Dutch language. Because of your videos i can understand about it. Dankjewel!!!
you are incredible!!!! my dutch teacher has been explaining this for 4 lessons and i didn't understand, but you, in an 11 minutes video, explained it clear and in a convenient way!! thank you very much!
You have no idea how helpful this video is! Thank you
This is a phenomenally good video, it's amazing how clearly you present a complex topic. I love studying languages but I always find grammar confusing, your video explained everything in a way that made sense. I'm currently learning Dutch and your videos are a joy to watch! Thank you so much!
Char - thanks for your comment! I'm glad my method works for you :-)
You made something seemingly complicated very simple to understand.
Also, your explanation of what a subject and verb are is such an easy explanation for those who don’t understand grammar in general. This is helpful to those people who were never taught basic grammar, so have no idea what is meant by a verb etc. Stating that a verb is an action word is such a great way to clarify it.
You do not seem to have made any recent videos. That is a pity as you are a born teacher, but, it’s great that these videos are still on the web helping many throughout the years, become fluent in Dutch.
Goed leuk with whatever your endeavours are now.
Well articulated video. One of the most efficiently delivered lecture. To the point. Keep up the great work. Learnt a lot
this guy is awesome he has very unique and comfortable way of teaching ... please more videos .
This is a very informative video... Cleared a lot of things I didn't understand in my Dutch classes. Thank you so much.
Thanks. The Dutch word order is one of the hardest things for learners to wrap their head around. But it's logical.
Niels thanks! My mother language is Spanish, but I live in Curacao! I so happy to find your videos, there are so easy for me!
Thank you!!! This is the hardest for me and no one can ever explain the rules 🎉

It’s really stupid grammar
@@kreem7942 Natuurlijk niet
One of the most simple and humble teaching video so far.. Very well done.
OMG! You did it again Niels! Another simple video with a mind blowing effect :) Congrats!
Thanks! Glad you like the videos!
Learn Dutch with Niels! Btw: Why does "that film" translates into "die fim" and not "dat film"?
Because it's 'de film'. 'Dat' is only used with 'het' words. Watch my video on dit, dat, deze & die for more info!
Learn Dutch with Niels! But why die and not deze? 😉

To add to another comment... Ik heb vanavond ook veel geleerd. And now I know why "vanavond" and "ook" go where they do in the sentence! 😃

"Laughs in finnish"

“Laughs in Mandarin”
