This channel is made to learn Dutch for English speakers. By learning Dutch with videos, you'll learn basic Dutch pronunciation, by learning it online with many Dutch phrases and Dutch words. We'll also see basic Dutch grammar as well as tips on how to speak Dutch. The accent used is from Belgium, so it's Belgian Dutch, which is also understood in the Netherlands.

Very nice one, thank you. But too many ads from RUclips
I noticed that the last word in the last sentience 'hulp' is not conjugated. Should it be?
No, it's a noun. 'His help' = zijn hulp.
I did not understand the purpose of "niet" in "Hoe leuk is het niet om in mijn eigen huis piano te kunnen spelen." Why does it not give a negative meaning?
It's like "isn't it nice to be able to play piano in my own home", it's more of a rhetorical question.
Wie hier is nederlands en luistert dit gwn voor de lol
Iedereen is welkom ;)
Dit verhaal in het Russisch met veel dialogen klinkt als verbluffend voor kinderen.
Bedankt!
Dit is geen Nederlands. Dit is Vlaams.
Hi, thanks for this video. I do have a suggestion though. Make a second video, with just the story in Dutch. The purpose of the second video would be for looping in the background, as part of absorbing the language.
I'd suggest you have about 5 videos, just like this one you made, and then have one video where only the Dutch is heard, for all 5 stories.
Also, here is an invention of mine, called ear tuning syllables. Below, I write out the first paragraph of your story here, in ear tuning syllables.
(from 0:50 to 1:13 on your video.) (23 seconds of speech from the video)
oyt bow! deun dree klay! neu big! eut yeus eun hows om teu keun! eun sla! peun, zo! als eed! eur een.
ayn! van hen! beu slis! teu om zo snel! moo! geu leuk eun hows! teu bow! eun, zo dat! hay deu hay! leu daG! pee a! no
kon spee! leun. hay wairk! teu zayn hows met eun par! plank! eun en wat hoy in een daG af.
key: eu, like u in put. a as in father. oy as in boy. ay as in hay. ow as in bow. ee as in see, i as in pin. e as in bet. o as in bone. oo as in boot. G is a unique sound not found in English, kind of like you are lightly clearing your throat. air like the word air
How to use the ear tuning syllables above: Repeatedly play them, from this audiobook. Half of the time, keep your eyes open, and always try / struggle to keep your eyes on the exact ear tuning syllable spoken by the speaker on the audiobook, for each moment. Half the time, have your eyes closed, and just try to follow, syllable by syllable, what sounds the speaker is making, by ear alone. I suggest using a pattern of three times with eyes open, trying to follow the ear tuning syllables, then three times with eyes closed - and keep repeating that until you have done a half hour of ear tuning exercises. And do the ear tuning exercises twice per day.
Also, to go along with the ear tuning exercises, have this video looping for many hours per day, for passive listening. This means, it is playing in the background, lightly, as you completely ignore it as you go about your usual routine.
After a few days, the Dutch will sound very sharp and clear to you; but keep doing ear tuning exercises daily. You can do less and less, but always do at least 40 minutes per week, as long as you are studying, or trying to retain Dutch. Also, always keep up the passive listening; for not only will it help to continuously improve your ear for Dutch, but also will help you quickly absorb, and then internalize, the Dutch language in this video.
Thanks for the suggestion!
@@LearnDutchwithAlain Jim is an alias. My real name is Lee Sohlden. Due to a series of discoveries, mostly by accident - with trying to perfect one discovery leading to the next -and the next - I now consider myself as knowing more about the right way to learn a language than anyone. (No, I am not famous - but if you try my methods, you will see that they work.)
Learning in stories is used by many - and I myself used in context learning extensively, before any of my recent discoveries. (Dec 2018 to November 2019)
Since these discoveries though, I learned how to absolutely maximize the learning from those stories.
First key is to hear them right. For this, my discovery of ear tuning exercises works far and away better than anything else I have seen out there. These exercises get a person to put, at times, 100% focus on the sounds they are hearing, on a syllable by syllable basis.
Second key is a lot of passive listening. Passive listening, to the story being learned, both works with the ear tuning exercises to continually sharpen the ear - but also may increase the true learning of the story five fold.
The 3rd key is associations - which is what your video sets up. You explain a paragraph - but the student needs to know what to do next, after getting your explanation: They should read the text three times, of that paragraph, while listening to you tell the story - then they should listen three more times, with their eyes closed this time; all while concentrating 100% on if they understand what is being said.
And, they should come back to the same story, repeatedly, and do more of the same association work - on the following days. (not the same day - let the speech center process what it was exposed to, overnight as you sleep, before the next repetition. They should count on these repetitions, and the speech center's work, to impart the language upon them.)
Now, if you read all that I wrote, you may think the association work sounds a lot like the ear tuning exercises. They do follow the same pattern - but the focus changes. For ear tuning exercises, the focus is 100% on the sounds, while its 100% on the meaning for the association work.
PS - one more hint: Always plan to work on new material, for associations, 50% of the time - while working on older material the other 50%. And, when you hear something perfectly - and understand something perfectly - that's the best time to listen yet again - for listening to what you fully understand, and hear perfectly, is the best way to truly learn language. (comprehensible input theory.)
