Progressive tense in Dutch: aan het + infinitive | NT2 A2

In this video, I explain the grammatical topic of the progressive tense in Dutch: “aan het + infinitief”. I’m covering when you should use it, how it works grammatically speaking and if and why it’s important for you to master it. I also give some tips for advanced A2-B1 students at the end.

BTW, should I learn this ? I am a beginner of learning dutch. (Ik ben Nederlands aan het leren.)
Besides, is the meaning of terwijl means “while” ？

Dankje wel for one more lesson, Nout. Although this is a bit advanced for me, the little German I know plus English itself helped me get many of the cognates in the sentences.
I think there's a similar structure in Welsh with 'yn+ verb in the infinitive' but only a fluent speaker could clarify if it's the same meaning (I'm just a learner).
I just learned another most useful word: terwijl:-)
P.S.: Your hair is even more beautiful at this length! Perfect.

Bedankt!!!

So if I’m trying to tell someone “I am learning Dutch” (if they try and switch to English) would that be a good time to use this tense?
Example: someone asks me (an obvious American) if I can speak Dutch would it be appropriate to answer “Nee, niet zo goed maar ik ben aan het leren.”

That's completely correct. it sounds pretty nice and natural. :)

[@OgbonsOnwumere]

Nice explanation. I see that this is also used in the structure: Subject + aan het + infinitive + object... rather than subject + everything else + aan het + infinitive. Should we assume that both are correct? Eg: Jij bent op mijn zus aan het wachten; of Jij bent aan het wachten op mijn zus

Thank you for the materials you create. I find them very helpful! Looking forward to more B1 materials:)

I love the clarity of his speech. I could hardly call myself good at listening comprehension, but I can look away from the text and still understand what he is saying. Even so, I appreciate the text. It gives me a bit of extra support if I get confused on a word.
