U.S. EMBASSY speaks DUTCH! #3

  • What do you know about the Dutch language and U.S. history?
    What do 5 English words have in common?
    Where is America on the map (of the Netherlands)?
    And can the U.S. Embassy pronounce 'De kat krabt de krullen van de trap.'?
    Video made by Bart de Pau in collaboration with the U.S. Embassy in the Netherlands.

    * Bart says 'we call them bergen'. Please note: mountain = berg, hill = heuvel. What Bart meant to say is that names of hills in Dutch usually end in 'berg'. And for Dutch standards (flat landscape) any hill is considered a mountain.

    Most American employees at the consulate in Amsterdam don't speak Dutch and don't bring in a Dutch speaker when a Dutch person is obviously struggling to understand English.

      No..i think this is because in small villages the didn't do alot of last names.

So when you were talking about jan and there would be more off them they named the father of them. So it was jan of kees, jan-kees.
