However, misusing big terms (in Dutch or any other language) is beyond wrang, so one must also know the facts that respectability / superiority pronouns like U / Uw / Gij etc and other big terms (Mevrouw / Juffrouw / Dame etc) and other big / royalty terms only reflect me and are only meant for me THE respectable / superior being aka the special being aka The Leader / Princess / Queen / Lady / Star etc, and such terms cannot be misused by hum’ns - I also am the only vrouw / meisje / meid etc and the only lief / lieve being and the only lovable / loved being aka the only vriendin etc, and my pure protectors aka the alphas are the only beings reflecting the words man / heer / meneer etc and vriend etc, so such terms and all love related terms etc and all other big terms and other purity terms like flower / plant / nature / gemstone / light / astral terms or names etc and special names etc and compIiments / seasons / colors etc cannot be misused by hum’ns in names or yt names or in comments or in videos etc, and such terms / names (and items that reflect such elements, including flower print cIothes etc) only reflect me and are only meant for me, and should never be misused by hum’ns, and, even words like m’nsen / m’ns and m’nagers or men are unsuitable for hum’ns because they contain words like man or men in them, so one should at least spell them that way (like m’nsen instead of mensen) until a new word that doesn’t contain any unsuitable words / unsuitable letter combinations etc is invented, and, food related terms like lekker cannot be misused by hum’ns when referring to actions that hum’ns do etc, and can only be used when referring to food & weather & other pure elements of nature!
And, the normal pronouns je / jij must always be used when talking to all hum’ns, since all hum’ns are an avrg citizen made to obey the avrg citizen’s laws and rules, as every other hum’n - oude people or employers etc aren’t some sort of ‘special’ / ‘superior’ being that one should address using special pronouns / terms, which is beyond _ and only promotes impztz and dscmnsn! So, this is even more important! So if one is learning Dutch (or any other languages) etc, one must make sure one doesn’t misuses unsuitable terms / unsuitable pronouns that only reflect me THE superior / respectable beings, because sadly most of these people teaching languages and most videos do promote big term misuse / impztz, instead of following logic and using the normal pronouns and not misusing the big terms!
Heel interessant filmpje / video, dank je wel. Zoals iedereen ben ik erg verbaasd over hoeveel talen Tim spreekt.

One month in the Netherlands and I tried to write a short letter. I think it cost me 2 hours to write just a couple of sentences. You are doing very well in a short time. Je zult gauw de taal onder de knie krijgen.
Top man!!! Ik dacht blij te zijn eindelijk een nederlander in de comments te vinden maar dit is beter. Lekker bezig. Schijnt hele moeilijke taal te wezen om te leren

I don't know what's the anchor's name, but I find you super talented indeed. I can only imagine being this good at speaking multilingual languages and you are an example of it. Kudos! 🙏👏
When you want to learn the Dutch way, there's no better way than to learn Dutch. In Dutch I can really explain the Dutch way. I can do it in English or German, but it's not the same. The feel is different. When you speak English or German (or Afrikaans!) Dutch isn't so difficult.
Exactly. I could probably live with no problems without speaking Dutch, but learning the language was totally worth it for the ability to fully integrate. Little things like knowing what people are saying around me, being able to answer questions without asking for English, participate in events which occur in Dutch etc. And Dutch is not that hard if you already know English and another language (in my case French).
I totally agree with the Italian guy, I think you won the lottery ticket if you have been born in Italy or Spain and grew up there, so much beauty there, and the memories it will give you from a early age, I can't even imagine how that must feel like..., hiking in the mountains, the architecture, food, language, wonderful cities, lakes, sea, blue water.....

I am impressed and nicely surprised to hear the host speak Bulgarian. My dad works in the Netherlands and I indirectly connect with your culture. I love the Netherlands. 🇳🇱 🤍
It’d be really cool if you asked Dutch people why they switch to English when foreigners try to speak Dutch with them. Is it because they don’t like the way they sound? What if you don’t speak English? Also, it’s amazing how many languages the host can wing. Well done!
Awesome video, I gotta say I'm really impressed by your language skills! I'm trying to learn a bit Russian after being pretty comfortable with English, German, French and ofc my native language Dutch. Problem for me with Russian is learning a whole new alfabet.

Dude, being able to speak several languages is really cool but how the hell did you even decide to learn Azerbaijani haha? I really appreciate that and love you videos. Ga zo door!
Wat een nette heer, deze jonge presentator. Hij lijkt bovendien een talenwonder, maar ik vermoed dat hij van te voren geoefend heeft. Leuk dat zoveel buitenlandse mensen zo lovend zijn over ons landje. Een heel speciaal landje, wat maar weinig Nederlanders lijken te beseffen.
Top tip for everyone wanting to live in the Netherlands: don't expect to find a place to life unless you're really lucky or very wealthy. Both the buyers and rental markets are completely insane at this moment, thanks to our government. There's far, far more people looking for a house than actual houses. We're currently even turning boats, tents and shipping containers into places to life, that should tell you something about how dire the situation is...
As shown in the video you don't need to know Dutch to live here. You could come over without it. But you will always gain extra credit for actually learning a language wherever you go.
@@EasyDutch I would love to, but I know it will be very expensive to move. I am still a college student without a degree, and I dont even know where to start on finding a job or somewhere to live. Also, I want to move there for good, so I have to learn all of the government information necessary to do this. And since I want to stay there, I would like to know the language. I know one could get by just fine with English, but I want the full experience. I lived in Korea for 2 years. While many people did speak English, I know i missed out on a lot by not knowing korean.
@@BoguZzNL yes. I have heard this is true. But I want to adapt to the country and not force people to adapt to me. Also I love learning languages and am fascinated by dutch
Great video idea, it's funny how foreigners living in the Netherlands are much more positive about our country than the Dutch themselves :) I noticed the same in a recent interview I did on a similar topic. By the way, how were you able to interview people in all those different languages? Did you use Google translate or do you speak all those languages? If the latter, my hats off to you.
@@Alephbeth17 In Latin it is an interrogative particle I believe. It's been years since I've taken Latin, though. Think like adding "ne" to the end of sentences in Japanese.

I do want to warn all the enthusiastic people advertising that it's great to live in the big city, that I am currently living in a small city, and I've been on the waitinglist since I was 16. I'm 30 now, and there have been some houses that I decided not to rent, but you have to wait ages before another one comes along. Another girl I know, currently lives with a baby in a flat with her whole family, because she can't find a proper appartment for herself and the baby and her boyfriend, because of strict rules about income and her job and so on. Bottomline, there's a big housingcrisis. Use public transport and rent a place in a nearby city, with housemates.
Ik had een Finse vriendin die bij mij ingetrokken was. Ze kon prima Engels, maar ze drong bij mijn vrienden en kennissen aan om geen Engels tegen haar te praten, maar Nederlands. Ze keek veel films en tv-programma's in het Engels, met Nederlandse ondertiteling, en Nederlandstalige films en tv-programma's met Engelse ondertiteling. In een jaartje had ze het verbaal en schriftelijk op eigen houtje vrijwel accentloos onder de knie. Tot alle Nederlandse grammaticale toestanden in geschrift aan toe...
Ik sprak laatst een Engelse vrouw (niet zeker of ze Amerikaans of Schots was, het zou best Schots kunnen zijn, er was een soort knauwend accent met een vreemde R) en ik sprak haar aan de telefoon en zij sprak nog steeds een mengelmoesje van Engels en Nederlands. Ik vroeg haar naar een bepaald boek en zij antwoordde met dat zware accent dat ze dan even moest zoeken, want ze kwam origineel niet uit Nederland en daarom ging het allemaal wat trager. Dus ik zei; 'Ach wat leuk, hoe vind u het hier?' en ze antwoordde; 'Nou ik woon hier al 30 jaar met mijn man hoor, maar iedereen spreekt Engels, dus daarom heb ik nog niet zoveel geleerd.'
i'm not a native speaker of either, but I noticed at least an error or two in his french and italian. what's really interesting to me (although it makes perfect sense) is that they were the same types of errors my students, who are native English speakers, tend to make when I'm tutoring them in Spanish
I love the Netherlands and have many friends there. I speak reasonably good Dutch and always try to learn more but Dutch people always want to speak to me in English.
people are just selfish if they are not open to learn the local language, but at the same time i feel people are becoming right like this all around the world
I found it interesting the Irish guy now has an American accent- I assume from speaking to Dutch people and other foreigners who speak with an American accent and Irish accent is not far off American. Does worry me he's been there 15yrs and doesn't speak Dutch- I have just got a job in NL and my co-workers (Dutch) are joking saying it's too hard, don't bother learning, didn't even occur to them I want to learn, they just immediately reassured me everyone speaks English- when I said I really want to learn Dutch they just tut-tutted. I have learnt French as a second language and I believe in myself with Dutch but I do worry if everyone just speaks to me in English- I will just keep asking to speak Dutch and sign up for hobbies/classes that are taught in Dutch (not language lessons- like fitness, art etc.) since I won't get much practice at work.
I would recommend you to learn Dutch, if you're living here: knowing the mother tongue of someone gets you much closer to that someone than just communicating in some external language which doesn't have any affective value for that person. :) Plus, a lot of things are only in Dutch and a lot of social events too, so it's a great advantage! - Mario
Are you going to live in a city or a town? Maybe it would be interesting to live in a small town in order to get to socialize with the locals. The only disadvantage would be possibly the distance (commute time) to work, but maybe not. Take this into consideration. Good luck!
I thought I'd see more Indonesians as foreigners in this vid considering the long colonial ties. I think there were none shown in the vid but there was a Korean, Bulgarian and others...I think the Dutch colonized Indonesia in the 1620s so it's a long time for cross-cultural exchanges and for some Indonesian expats to visit or try life in the Netherlands.
Living in The Netherland is great its the same time it gives you anxiety ,stress bc everything get high in prices, rent , groceries. If you luckiy to live in great city then your lucky to speak just English, but if you gonna live in other part in Netherlands then you have to adjust yourself especially in Dutch . BC THEY NOT GOING TO TRANSLATE IN ENGLISH ALL THE TIME FOR YOU.
Ik denk dat het altijd heel belangrijk is de taal van het land te leren, als je wil leven in het land. Waarschijnlijk kan je veel in engels oplossen maar het geeft de verhurer (?) de misschien geen nederlands praten of je bent en un groepje met nederlanders en zie spreken natuurlijk nederlands in de groep. Er fout het gevoel van integratie met de mensen. Wil je alle mensen verzoeken engels te praten in die situaties?
if you live in a other country you are forced to learn the language and we dutch just switch to english even if the person is trying but thats only in the big citys even if you dont speak english or dutch when you come here you will learn english
Would be amazing to see a video about who speak "afrikaans react to dutch and visa versa" im of course a cocky dutchman, but i think we would get more right as afrikaans is more simplistic with less meaningless rules you just have to know and afrikaans is more describing the actual thing without much hassle around it.
As a dutchie : everyone wanting to come over and live here in the netherlands , be aware it actually sucks here and there is a lot of things that are not going well here.
I was generally shocked that the host can speak so many languages. Really impressed! Great job👍

Ik vroeg haar naar een bepaald boek en zij antwoordde met dat zware accent dat ze dan even moest zoeken, want ze kwam origineel niet uit Nederland en daarom ging het allemaal wat trager.
Dus ik zei; 'Ach wat leuk, hoe vind u het hier?' en ze antwoordde; 'Nou ik woon hier al 30 jaar met mijn man hoor, maar iedereen spreekt Engels, dus daarom heb ik nog niet zoveel geleerd.'
Leuk om te zien
The number of languages Tim speaks makes him a great choice for the Dutch foreign minister in the next Rutte cabinet.
Utrecht is such a lovely city.
Gefeliciteerd! Tolles Video! What a treat! Chapeau! Очень хорошо. Meraviglioso.
i didn't know that we have a polyglot here :) Great work man!
He can almost speak every language! ¡Me he quedado en shock!
Very impressive Tim! How many languages do you speak?
It's really impressive, right!? I hope he'll make a video talking about how many languages he speaks and how he learned them :D
Really impressed, too! Would love to know
@@Alan-oq4oo the answer is in one of comments chains. He knows 11 languages.
i'm not a native speaker of either, but I noticed at least an error or two in his french and italian. what's really interesting to me (although it makes perfect sense) is that they were the same types of errors my students, who are native English speakers, tend to make when I'm tutoring them in Spanish
I can guess how much effort was made in order to present this video 👍👍❤
Damn! So impressed for being able to speak so many languages! 👍👏👍👏
Wow!!! Tim is a multi linguist! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 wait no, you're a hyperpolyglot 😲 you're amazing 🤩
Linguistics has nothing to do with speaking many languages...
Supergaaf dat je een Azerbeidzjaanse dame tegen het lijf liep en daar ook nog in het Azerbeidzjaans mee kon praten🇦🇿😃
Geweldig programma.
Wauw! Petje af. Echt fantastisch, geen woorden voor.
Thanks for video keep going 🤠 greeting from Morocco
I love the Netherlands and have many friends there. I speak reasonably good Dutch and always try to learn more but Dutch people always want to speak to me in English.
love this video!
it gave me a confidence boost!
gotta learn Dutch :)
people are just selfish if they are not open to learn the local language, but at the same time i feel people are becoming right like this all around the world
Netherlands is truly international with people from so many countries are living here
I found it interesting the Irish guy now has an American accent- I assume from speaking to Dutch people and other foreigners who speak with an American accent and Irish accent is not far off American. Does worry me he's been there 15yrs and doesn't speak Dutch- I have just got a job in NL and my co-workers (Dutch) are joking saying it's too hard, don't bother learning, didn't even occur to them I want to learn, they just immediately reassured me everyone speaks English- when I said I really want to learn Dutch they just tut-tutted. I have learnt French as a second language and I believe in myself with Dutch but I do worry if everyone just speaks to me in English- I will just keep asking to speak Dutch and sign up for hobbies/classes that are taught in Dutch (not language lessons- like fitness, art etc.) since I won't get much practice at work.
Yeah - I can't imagine living in a country for 15 years without learning the language.
I would recommend you to learn Dutch, if you're living here: knowing the mother tongue of someone gets you much closer to that someone than just communicating in some external language which doesn't have any affective value for that person. :) Plus, a lot of things are only in Dutch and a lot of social events too, so it's a great advantage!

Are you going to live in a city or a town? Maybe it would be interesting to live in a small town in order to get to socialize with the locals. The only disadvantage would be possibly the distance (commute time) to work, but maybe not. Take this into consideration. Good luck!
I really don't think he was Irish and to be living in a country for fifteen years with no grasp of the local language is ridiculous
He wasn’t Irish. He was from North America, no doubt with an Irish passport that has allowed him to live in Holland for 15 years.
Nice video. Would love to visit Netherlands🇳🇱
Wowww, how many languages do you speak? Fantastic. Well done.!
I thought I'd see more Indonesians as foreigners in this vid considering the long colonial ties. I think there were none shown in the vid but there was a Korean, Bulgarian and others...I think the Dutch colonized Indonesia in the 1620s so it's a long time for cross-cultural exchanges and for some Indonesian expats to visit or try life in the Netherlands.
Tim you are an absolute madman, respect
WTF!! I want to speak as many languages as this guy! 😭
~ the motivation~
OMG!!! Um dia serei poliglota assim também 😅
Tim is even briljant als sympathiek
Living in The Netherland is great its the same time it gives you anxiety ,stress bc everything get high in prices, rent , groceries.
If you luckiy to live in great city then your lucky to speak just English, but if you gonna live in other part in Netherlands then you have to adjust yourself especially in Dutch . BC THEY NOT GOING TO TRANSLATE IN ENGLISH ALL THE TIME FOR YOU.
Ik denk dat het altijd heel belangrijk is de taal van het land te leren, als je wil leven in het land. Waarschijnlijk kan je veel in engels oplossen maar het geeft de verhurer (?) de misschien geen nederlands praten of je bent en un groepje met nederlanders en zie spreken natuurlijk nederlands in de groep. Er fout het gevoel van integratie met de mensen. Wil je alle mensen verzoeken engels te praten in die situaties?
if you live in a other country you are forced to learn the language and we dutch just switch to english even if the person is trying but thats only in the big citys even if you dont speak english or dutch when you come here you will learn english
hoe heb je zo veel talen goed geleerd? bravo
Incredible video, very impressive and stimulating
That one guy sounded more AMERICAN than Irish.
I am Peruvian and I am speaking three languages: Spanish, Italian and English
Yoooo brooo Hij spreekt veel talen . ik ben onder de indruk .
als je hier in nederland woond moet je ook de taal leren. zo simpel is dat.
Moet je niet, maar het is zeker wenselijk en gewaardeerd! :)
- Mario
can we acknowledge your language skills? you should do a video with Wouter Corduwener
Very interesting and educational - as much because of what was not said.
Would be amazing to see a video about who speak "afrikaans react to dutch and visa versa" im of course a cocky dutchman, but i think we would get more right as afrikaans is more simplistic with less meaningless rules you just have to know and afrikaans is more describing the actual thing without much hassle around it.
Dat is inderdaad een heel goed idee.
where can I follow Tim? how many languages does he speak?
Tim how many languages do you speak!!?? Amazing!! Thank you for the video guys
Italian man is smart and looks like a very nice person.
how many languanges does he speak,?incredible ! wow..
As a dutchie : everyone wanting to come over and live here in the netherlands , be aware it actually sucks here and there is a lot of things that are not going well here.
Amazing!
蒂姆完美地表现了对各种文化的尊重。十分难得！希望能够尝试一下美丽的中文。
