Wow it’s amazing how straightforward Dutch is. I’m a native English speaker and currently learning German for some time. In my mind Dutch sounds like a softer version of German. I will try and continue listening to Dutch
@@Jimmy-vu8dj Well, not according to wikipedia, but rumors have to start somewhere.. I know German people think it sounds alike, but that is due to common influences. In fact the biggest influence of German on Dutch was the second Germanic sound shift
Give Swedish a listen too also. I learned basic German in school, then Dutch from going there a lot, and Swedish to me was easier to pick up. I see so many similarities with them. Umbrella in French and Swedish are the same oddly too lol 😂☔
Indonesia had been colonized by the Dutch for a long time in the past. Therefore, There are many Dutch words still used in Indonesia until today. Even many older people in Indonesian still speak Dutch in their limited circles. I am so happy following your lessons. you are great. Thank you very much.
Als ik nederlands spreek, denken de nederlanders soms dat mijn nederlands beter is dan het is in de realiteit en ze spreken zo snel dat ik het niet begrijp.

@@yesjo1456 English, Dutch and German all 3 originate from a common ancestor. English and German underwent a few great changes during time, which Dutch didn't. So Dutch has remained closest to the original.
This is so easy to understand when you know German. Now I only need to remember not to throw around and mix all the thousand false friend phrases ! : )
So true hahah I also speak English and German. When I lived in Germany, and I was in Dutch class, there was the word "onze", which sounds very similar to "unser", in German. Both words mean "our", but I was so confused, because "onze" is the number 11 in Portuguese, which is my mother tongue. 😂

@@giordanodsouza9563 I found the G letter easy to prouncounce because we also have it in the Arabic alphabet but I struggle with pronouncing the letters UI ._.
I'm in a more advanced stage of learning German, but I'm starting to learn Dutch because I have Dutch friends and I'm traveling to the Netherlands soon. I've actually lived in the Netherlands for a short time--regrettably I was amongst only English speakers and I hadn't the time to learn Dutch. The one problem I have with Dutch is motivation. I know that my German would be useful on trips to Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. I also know from experience that almost everyone in the Netherlands speaks English. IN fact, I've never met one that didn't. So, given that learning a language is hard and because everyone in the Netherlands speaks English AND the fact that Dutch isn't a global language on the scale of, say, German, French or Spanish, I finds myself often asking "why am I doing this again?" But the great thing about learning Dutch, especially if you have some knowledge of German, is that it is easy to pickup. Its grammar is far less complicated than German yet so many words are cognates or near-cognates between those two Germanic languages. The real trick is the challenging (for me) pronunciation. Where I was stationed in the Netherlands, Limburg Province, they almost all spoke 1) Dutch (of course), 2) English, 3) German and, 4) French.
Hoihoi ik ben ook Nederlands, dit is perfect voor mensen die Nederlands willen leren. こんいちは、私はオランダ人です！ Hello, im also Dutch, this is perfect for learning Dutch!
menymen meen je dit nou echt? Nederlands is echt heel moeilijk te leren dus doe niet alsof het makkelijk is.

Als je geen Arabisch kan, ga je dat ook niet gelijk begrijpen door 30 minuutjes online “les” en een gozertje die een beetje zit te kwebbelen. Daarbij spreek je nog geen eens correct Nederlands, waardoor die persoon er dus helemaal niks van begrijpt.

Goedendag in formal parts is hardly used anymore and just sound weird to the Dutch. To be honest, I heard it only a handful of times in my life and frankly, it kinda creeps me out. Also, the n in Goeden is hardly ever pronounced, except in goedenavond. It sounds extremely weird imo. Better would be to indeed use the parts of the day: Goede-morgen, -middag, goedenavond. Goedenavond is a bit of an ugly duckling in this pond as it can be used as greeting as well as a goodbye. Pay attention to tv programs in the evening: the presenter starts with goedenavond and ends with goedenavond. At night, goedenacht IS used, but only in sparse occasions as a goodbye. When people go to sleep, one usually says simply "welterusten", meaning good night or sleep well. When it's past midnight and you know the people won't be sleeping any time soon, say goedenacht. Generally you can just say "hallo" when visiting people, it generally doesn't matter what the occasion is. This can even further informalized by saying "hoi". Since everything is pretty informal in the Netherlands, goedemiddag has become basically informal as well. Tot ziens is rather formal, but somehow acceptable: you'd say it when leaving an job interview, a customer, shop or business. You can also say: doei, doeg, dag (with a long "a" as if there were 2 or 3 a's in the word); and, depending on the area you're in, aju or ajuus is also very acceptable (aju comes from the french "adieu" - you will find that Dutch has a lot of french words and expressions on loan).

Not surprising really. According to the 2018 EF EPI, the Netherlands has the second highest average level of English proficiency among its adult population of all countries surveyed, after Sweden. Last year it was No. 1.
I am a native afrikaanse speaker and learning dutch so i can go overseas to study . Its funny how the Formal Dutch is nearly identical to our language but the informal is way different im not shure which is better to know but im guessing formal will make me sound more smart lol. Goedendag Totziens !
My Grandpa is Dutch, but I never learned it when I was a child (is a shame). I'm motivated to get started and I think I might have a little advantage as a native German speaker. 'Cause so many words are similar.
I worked in Paramaribo, Suriname at the American Embassy as a Marine back in 87’ & 88’. Mrs DeMiranda was my language instructor. We were (the Marines and Embassy employees) super close with the whole family. I miss speaking with everyone in Nederlander. I’m sure I don’t speak good anymore.

Our Dutch Priest passed away four years ago, now I'm watching this and wanting to learn the language. He must be laughing his head off where ever he is and calling me crazy.
Very good video, thank you! It helps a lot. I am trying to learn Dutch, and I found that it's very close to English and German language. My foreign language is Greek, but in English translation, I can understand them better😁
I am Indonesian but I a Dutch descent by blood, but i can't speak dutch & i really have to learn dutch for someday i'll come to netherland to visit my grandpa
Hoi Marleen, ik kom uit Indonesie. ik heb nederlands geleerd in 2001 maar nu alles vergeten. dit kanaal geef me enthousiast om weer te leren. Groetjes.
I'm glad she never explained how to say "how are you?" in Dutch. That's a sentence you never use in the Netherlands unless you really want to know someone's life story. You especially don't ask it to strangers. In Dutch, it's, "hoe gaat het?" incase you're curious.
Since, thanks to Corona, I've got plenty of time I thought I'd start to learn a new language. Thanks to my knowledge in English, French, German and Swiss German I can already understand most of the Dutch I hear (it's strange how similiar Dutch and a mixture of some swiss dialects sound). Now it's time to learn how to speak it. Thank godness I can pronounce the "g" without my throat getting sore, because it sounds like the Swiss German "ch".
Dutch is not related to Swiss German but closely related to Low German and almost fully intelligible for a speaker of Low German. Swiss German is an Alemanic dialect and therefore related to dialects spoken in the South West of Germany.
Really very nice experience because I am listening first- time to understand the Dutch language. Hearty congradulations dr mam for your valuable words about the language. Thank you mam
Hahaha that’s awesome! I’m from South Africa and would love to learn Dutch. We have Afrikaans here and it’s there are so many similarities, except Dutch sounds a bit funny to me now that I’ve heard it’s diction. Although I’m not that greatest at Afrikaans, it’s fun to know that they so close. To the Dutch bro’s, please tell me if you can understand the following: Ek is van Kaapstad, Suid Afrika en dit is so mooi hier. Dit sal wonderlik wees as ons kan lesse uitruil. Ek is seker dat julle sal my verstaan, selfs al lyk die woorde ‘n bietjie anders. Ek hoop dat julle al ‘n heerlike dag het 🔥🔥
you ever just travel to Asia from the US and accidentally fall in love with a dutch girl and are now for the first time in your life are super motivated to learn a new language 😁
Wow, ongeloofbaar. Koeiige waarheid! Nu wachten op cursus: "Nederlands binnen 3 minut". Nederlands iesie taal. 30 minutt beetje vel, weet je. Dit definitie van "spreken" is geweldig, nu spreken ik 19 talen!
Mayby thats true but at least the words are very similar to English ones. We just have a lot difficult to pronounce words like those with ''g'' or ''r'' or even ''sch''.
@@Twak08 I said speaking, not writing. I lived in Japan 3 months, was speaking it in as little as 2 weeks, so so easy to pronounce words in Japanese. Unlike Vietnamese and Dutch, German, takes more practice to get it right!
do NOT i repeat do NOT put your english subtitles on at around the first 20 seconds of the vid 🤠 Trouwens iedereen die Nederlands aan het leren is, goed bezig!! Succes :)
@@johannfer7073 Dutch is a beautiful language, but you should always treasure your Bahasa Indonesia, as it is the official language of your country. As a Filipino, I am learning Spanish too, but I do not regret or am disappointed that people don't speak Spanish anymore because we are not Spanish people in the first place.
Marlee is one of the best teachers I’ve come across but if in reality Dutch speaks slow like this because after testing my Dutch in the normal conversation with my Dutch friends my face was like 😲😲 the fastness in their tongue was Haaa! ( fante espression of surprise) 😂😂😂😂😂
These are great, but I'm confused on a few things. Firstly, which formality should I use with waiters, shopkeepers and anyone who's working in customer service? Should I be quite formal but not super formal? I've heard people say informal is okay, but I don't know. Secondly, do you pronounce the -n on the end of words like 'negen' and 'jongen?' I can't tell if it's not there or if it's similar to the -ng in 'sing.' Thirdly, how much will I be laughed at if my pronunciation is off? I feel like my pronunciation is acceptable but I'm scared lmao
Alice Reading hi, in/formality in the Netherlands outside business situations determined by where you feel comfortable with. Formal welcome is appreciated but not as strict as in most other countries.
I am glad that the formel form (hoflikheidsvorm) still exists in Dutch and German. We had it in Afrikaans as well, but the influence of English in South Africa killed our good manners. In the good olden days, we used to say:"Hartlik dank vir uw gasvryheid vriendelikheid en hulpvaardigheid!" Today, the word "u" or "uw" does not exist anymore, and people are not polite anymore. Many people do not even use the words "thank you". Modern Afrikaaners watch a lot television, and 95% of our programs come from England and the USA. There our children learn how to be disrespectfull, and how to destroy their own mother-language.
With the words 'negen' and 'jongen' we say the n and we have lots of people who are new to our language and who's pronunciation isn't perfect. We are used to it and even if some people switch into English if they know you speak that better many people are only suprised/happy you know our language.

Wow this video is really helpful. I speak fluent Afrikaans and understand Dutch fully. Just need to familiarize myself with the different pronunciation. "Geodendag" en "Geoie dag" in Afrikaans. 😃 I'm from South Africa 🇿🇦 and blessed by this video. 🙏
Very clear and easy to understand. Dank u wel, Marlene.
Omg this video is the best one I've found yet! Husband and I are planning to move to the Netherlands, so we're trying to learn Dutch beforehand
By the way, beautiful English Marleen!
Not surprising really. According to the 2018 EF EPI, the Netherlands has the second highest average level of English proficiency among its adult population of all countries surveyed, after Sweden. Last year it was No. 1.
@@petercdowney plus every Dutch person seems to speak English better than me (a native)
Love this language !! Hope I can learn it well
I watched this wanting to learn dutch. I ended the video with an accent and confused.
Dankjewel! This video helps me to pronounce it well
I am a native afrikaanse speaker and learning dutch so i can go overseas to study . Its funny how the Formal Dutch is nearly identical to our language but the informal is way different im not shure which is better to know but im guessing formal will make me sound more smart lol. Goedendag Totziens !
My Grandpa is Dutch, but I never learned it when I was a child (is a shame). I'm motivated to get started and I think I might have a little advantage as a native German speaker.
'Cause so many words are similar.
Similar but often not the same
Zeer bedankt heb ik nog nooit gehoord? Hartelijk bedankt is beter
heel erg bedankt?
ontzettend bedankt:)
Linda Sibeijn nee zou ik ook niet gebruiken 😉

I perfectly understood you lol,I love how German,Dutch and English is so interconnected^^
Hello Marleen, this is Kedar from Nepal. Lovely, I will follow you to learn Dutch language. It's easy n clear. Appreciated.
I worked in Paramaribo, Suriname at the American Embassy as a Marine back in 87’ & 88’. Mrs DeMiranda was my language instructor. We were (the Marines and Embassy employees) super close with the whole family. I miss speaking with everyone in Nederlander. I’m sure I don’t speak good anymore. I really miss the people, especially my fellow Marines and my driver Johnny. Thanks for your ear and Tot zines!
With your online video i feel learn dutch language easily. Zeer bedankt

Our Dutch Priest passed away four years ago, now I'm watching this and wanting to learn the language. He must be laughing his head off where ever he is and calling me crazy.
OMG she's so cute. I can't even concentrate. I think i should find another video about learning Dutch.🧡

Very good video, thank you! It helps a lot. I am trying to learn Dutch, and I found that it's very close to English and German language.
My foreign language is Greek, but in English translation, I can understand them better😁
I am Indonesian but I a Dutch descent by blood, but i can't speak dutch & i really have to learn dutch for someday i'll come to netherland to visit my grandpa
I spent a day just to pronounce "G" as my ex bf's mom named Gerie. I had a sore throat the next day 😅 but it was worth it.
Hoi Marleen, ik kom uit Indonesie. ik heb nederlands geleerd in 2001 maar nu alles vergeten. dit kanaal geef me enthousiast om weer te leren. Groetjes.

Thank you very much! Very good introduction to Dutch :)
I'm glad she never explained how to say "how are you?" in Dutch. That's a sentence you never use in the Netherlands unless you really want to know someone's life story. You especially don't ask it to strangers.
In Dutch, it's, "hoe gaat het?" incase you're curious.
The sad part is that it is the first thing we say if we see somebody. It's like 'hey, hoe gaat het?'
I'm Dutch myself
Why do you guys not use that though? Just curious
That's where we Brits get the (very informal) "How goes it?" from😊
I really feel very easy to learn with you .
Since, thanks to Corona, I've got plenty of time I thought I'd start to learn a new language. Thanks to my knowledge in English, French, German and Swiss German I can already understand most of the Dutch I hear (it's strange how similiar Dutch and a mixture of some swiss dialects sound). Now it's time to learn how to speak it. Thank godness I can pronounce the "g" without my throat getting sore, because it sounds like the Swiss German "ch".
Dutch is not related to Swiss German but closely related to Low German and almost fully intelligible for a speaker of Low German. Swiss German is an Alemanic dialect and therefore related to dialects spoken in the South West of Germany.
I more like to learn dutch , this lession very clear. Thank you very much teacher
Really very nice experience because I am listening first- time to understand the Dutch language. Hearty congradulations dr mam for your valuable words about the language. Thank you mam

Hahaha that’s awesome!
I’m from South Africa and would love to learn Dutch. We have Afrikaans here and it’s there are so many similarities, except Dutch sounds a bit funny to me now that I’ve heard it’s diction. Although I’m not that greatest at Afrikaans, it’s fun to know that they so close. To the Dutch bro’s, please tell me if you can understand the following:
Ek is van Kaapstad, Suid Afrika en dit is so mooi hier. Dit sal wonderlik wees as ons kan lesse uitruil. Ek is seker dat julle sal my verstaan, selfs al lyk die woorde ‘n bietjie anders. Ek hoop dat julle al ‘n heerlike dag het 🔥🔥
@@joKer7507 I'm German and I could understand you for the most part.
Informal vs formal is only really important in customer service or when talking to significantly older people.
Me: damn, pronouncing that "g" sound is hard and i need to say it slowly and deliberately!
Merleen: "graag gedaan"
it’s easy for me, i’m kinda lucky to be danish in this regard
you ever just travel to Asia from the US and accidentally fall in love with a dutch girl and are now for the first time in your life are super motivated to learn a new language 😁
Wow, ongeloofbaar. Koeiige waarheid! Nu wachten op cursus: "Nederlands binnen 3 minut". Nederlands iesie taal. 30 minutt beetje vel, weet je. Dit definitie van "spreken" is geweldig, nu spreken ik 19 talen!
Ok Dutch is way harder to speak than Japanese lol
My thoughts exactly
Luckily I am from Serbia and grammar here has some similarities with Dutch and then add English to mix and it almost makes sense 🤷
Mayby thats true but at least the words are very similar to English ones. We just have a lot difficult to pronounce words like those with ''g'' or ''r'' or even ''sch''.

Nah mate japenese doesnt even use letters plus you have to learn 2 qays of writing
@@Twak08 I said speaking, not writing. I lived in Japan 3 months, was speaking it in as little as 2 weeks, so so easy to pronounce words in Japanese. Unlike Vietnamese and Dutch, German, takes more practice to get it right!
Hallo. Dankjewel voor jouw lessen! Just started learning Dutch. It's gonna be my fifth language :)

Omg same
Johann Fer tjah dat is wel jammer he, nederlands is een zeer mooie taal.
@@johannfer7073 Dutch is a beautiful language, but you should always treasure your Bahasa Indonesia, as it is the official language of your country. As a Filipino, I am learning Spanish too, but I do not regret or am disappointed that people don't speak Spanish anymore because we are not Spanish people in the first place.
@@zandrewmorano10 Yeah now I actually have changed my mind☺️, thanks for reminding me bro.
Dutch to a German sounds like super drunk German idk
are you a german?
I like your smile

Marlee is one of the best teachers I’ve come across but if in reality Dutch speaks slow like this because after testing my Dutch in the normal conversation with my Dutch friends my face was like 😲😲 the fastness in their tongue was Haaa! ( fante espression of surprise) 😂😂😂😂😂
Your course is really useful. Please keep on updating new lessons. I will treat you hamburgers when I travel to the Netherlands.
Love this video! So helpful and well explained! THANKS!
These are great, but I'm confused on a few things.
Firstly, which formality should I use with waiters, shopkeepers and anyone who's working in customer service? Should I be quite formal but not super formal? I've heard people say informal is okay, but I don't know.
Secondly, do you pronounce the -n on the end of words like 'negen' and 'jongen?' I can't tell if it's not there or if it's similar to the -ng in 'sing.'
Thirdly, how much will I be laughed at if my pronunciation is off? I feel like my pronunciation is acceptable but I'm scared lmao
Alice Reading hi, in/formality in the Netherlands outside business situations determined by where you feel comfortable with. Formal welcome is appreciated but not as strict as in most other countries.
I am glad that the formel form (hoflikheidsvorm) still exists in Dutch and German.
We had it in Afrikaans as well, but the influence of English in South Africa killed our good manners.
In the good olden days, we used to say:"Hartlik dank vir uw gasvryheid vriendelikheid en hulpvaardigheid!"
Today, the word "u" or "uw" does not exist anymore, and people are not polite anymore.
Many people do not even use the words "thank you".
Modern Afrikaaners watch a lot television, and 95% of our programs come from England and the USA.
There our children learn how to be disrespectfull, and how to destroy their own mother-language.
With the words 'negen' and 'jongen' we say the n and we have lots of people who are new to our language and who's pronunciation isn't perfect. We are used to it and even if some people switch into English if they know you speak that better many people are only suprised/happy you know our language.
When you already speak German then Dutch is quite easy to understand and Learn

**Covid19 has entered the chat**
When I pronounce "G" , I feel like spitting .
Is it normal?
I'm learning too. Looks like without some phlegm in your throat, you've failed your parents.
Don't try too hard. Belgian native speakers of Dutch don't use that horrible sound, so you don't have to do it either ;)
It's basically like the ch in Welsh or Scottish Gaelic (as in "loch"), but voiced.
No Because The G's In Dutch Are Sometimes Like, Said Differently
No, you do it wrong then. You should only spit inside of your mouth when pronouncing it, not outside!
thank you very much i just looking at just your video
