- WHO ARE WE? -
Hi there! We are Adi & Myra. Back in 2015, we met in Australia and 2020 was the year we were finally able to live together in The Netherlands. Since we met we went on many #adventures and one day this crazy idea came up in our head: let’s start a RUclips channel! A few weeks later Let’s Meet Abroad was launched. On #letsmeetabroad, we share the story of our #travels captured by the videos we create. Our goal is to inspire you to go out and seek adventure!
We hope you enjoy our videos! Please leave any tips, ideas, or questions in the comments below. ♥
Cheers, Adi & Myra

In the northern Netherlands people say patatje, in the southern Netherlands we say friet.
Learning the language of the country you live in, is a sign of respect. It shows us you really are interested in our country and our people so it's very appreciated.
Just a matter of being polite to your host country I would say.
Good for you to make the effort! Succes with your studies and good luck
True Maria 😃 and learning every day!!
I am also learning Dutch because my boyfriend is from the Netherlands (we live in Canada)! It's so hard but it's fun when I get to practice it in real life when we're on vacation there.
Veel succes Adi!
Ik leer ook Nederlands omdat mijn vriend Nederlands is (We wonen in Canada)! Het is zo moeilijk maar het is leuk om te oefenen in het echie (slang) als we in Nederland op vakantie zijn.
Yeah right..!! I had a little encounter with a security guard today and whatever he was saying I could understand. It was really wired to me but in a good way. I was really surprised by me hahaha
Learn quick - there used to be something called the "Delft Method" that was targeted at foreign students entering Delft University. Very pragmatic and fast. It may have a recent evolution. If you can go to such classes, that would help. Considering teacher Myra, she could try to build a course for you with her. Here, you could try to mimic the way we learn our mother-tongue. This starts before birth when we learn a language's sentence-melody structures and this is reflected in the crying spurts produced by babies. No you don't have to go back into that place, but listen a lot.
This is followed, in life, by mothers answering questions like, what's this? Maybe start with a Hindi toddler's book and translate the words and idiom into Dutch, thus bridging to the deepest memories. The next phase for native Dutch learners is to learn the exceptions in grammar and idiom, build the vocabulary. You could try to borrow primary school books or methods here. So, now we have a pragmatic academic approach and a pragmatic biological approach. In both cases, you need time to learn - mastering almost anything needs 10,000 hours for more complex tasks or 10,000 repetitions for more simple things and until 9,950 hours/times people are not predictable. Part of the learning process of a foreign language are grammar and word order and you already invested into that with Spanish and English. You'll have noticed that learning a foreign language often is complicated by insufficient knowledge of the grammar of one's own language and you have had that experience already too.
That means, part of the 10,000 hours already have been spent there. And the 10,000 also means that you have to accept making mistakes, if you want to master something.
As to Hindi-Dutch, note that our languages may share a common ancestor and this may be noticeable still in Sanskrit (Hindi's parent language?). So, if it helps you to learn Dutch words by having a story with them, you might want to buy an "Etymologisch Woordenboek". If word-evolution histories go back to the common ancestor, Sanskrit will be mentioned in the discussion of a word's origin in that dictionary. But in many cases it may just say that a word first appeared (in print or writing) in some year long time ago. To the old Roman language scholars of some 2,000 years ago, the Germanic languages sounded like an ancient form of Persian, by the way.
If you want to learn Dutch by immersion, which is the path you are on, then I would say that your first priority is to get rid of your foreign accent. As long as people sense you are foreign, through your accent, they may start to speak English with you. To prevent that from happening, holding them at gunpoint - if you speak English to me, I'll pull the trigger - is probably not a strong enough threat. If you could go to a "logopedist" (speech tutor) for a couple sessions, they might be able to help you pronounce vowels and phonemes the right way so as to get rid of the accent (find one that has taught pronunciation to people born completely deaf as these can help you learn how to form the sounds, if necessary).
Whenever I feel tired . I start to watch your videos. Your videos give me hope and inspire me to move on towards my goal. I feel proud to be the subscriber of your channel. May both of you live long.
Thank yo Jinsar, Its our honor that you are our subscriber, We are also proud of you :)
Ik vind dat je eerste woorden in het Nederlands prima gaan. Misschien dat je met je vriendin af kunt spreken om een dag (of een gedeelte van de dag) alleen maar Nederlands te spreken. Gewoon de huis, tuin en keuken dingen in het Nederlands.... tijdens het eten stofzuigen, afwassen enz....
Succes.
(I hope you understand this long sentence in Dutch...... if not; ask your girlfriend for the translation). Good luck !
You're doing fine!
Ik heb het even voor hem vertaald 😉 we praten af en toe Nederlands, maar ik heb er denk iets te weinig geduld voor 🙈 maar hoe sneller hij het spreekt hoe leuker, dus toch maar meer oefenen!
i am from the netherlands and its pretty cool to see someone learn dutch and im learning english so u guys help me out with english!
Haha yes, Dutch is not as difficult as compared with other languages to learn.
@@LetsMeetAbroad yeah
I have lived in The Netherlands nearby Rotterdam for 10 years. For me was Dutch learning very easy because I was college girl going to school. I speak fluent Dutch!
Lkkr bezig adi stiekem mij gefilmd hahahaha is elke keer weer gezellig als we praten
Haha thanks Paul. I was recording it to show to Myra but then after that we came with an idea to make this video. Thank you for teaching 😊.
Loved the way you used tricks to learn Dutch 👌👌👌keep learning
Yeah I will! 😀
Je hebt een groeide uitspraak Adi. Here Dutch senior; I am watching this again to get my Dutch fix. Love to see your video’s as you paint a beautiful picture of my country that I left so long ago. Bovendien hoor ik graag de stem van Mira, speaking in Dutch. I seem to translate Engels literally into Dutch now. I guess that means I think in Engels now after 40 years in Ca.
Hartstikke goed! It is very hard to take the hurdle and go out and do it! My ex-wife is Australian and your experience reminds me so much of the time (in Delft) when she was learning Dutch. As a first step she also went to the market and ordered some food. At the vegetable stall all went well untill he said: Heeft u voor mij één knoopsgat?” in a very heavy English accent. The woman on the other side looked puzzled and asked in English what she meant, but before I could step in, my then girlfriend corrected herself. We had a good laugh! Knoopsgat was a few words under knoflook in the rows she learned a couple of days before.
Good luck and as an old Dutch expression says: Ga zo door en gij zult spinazie eten!
haha I can imagine someone speaking dutch in an Australian accent. Thanks for sharing your story with us!
Nice video, as always! We also started to learn Dutch 3 months ago, small progress at the moment, the word order is confusing... But we will nail it! Good luck with your learning!
Thank you. :) :) Yeah right... Some words are so confusing that I almost give up on them and will probably learn with time. Good luck to you too guys.
@@LetsMeetAbroad yes, the hardest thing is the word order at the moment...
Leuke video, Zoals altijd! We zijn ook gestart Nederlands te leren 3 maanden geleden. Maar een beetje progressie voor het moment want de woord-volgorde is verwarrend... Maar we zullen er in slagen! Veel geluk met het leren!
I started learning dutch because a show I watched was completely in dutch. I fell in love with it. I decided to take my first trip to europe in August, and of course I chose amsterdam. I want to live there one day. The idea is good, but I want to visit a few times to make an informed decision.
I have only been learning for 1 month with pimsleur, but I am excited to see this through
Je spreekt al best goed Nederlands.
Ga zo door!
Dank u wel :)
@@LetsMeetAbroad its bit similar to german I think
You can order stroopwafel... IMO that's all the skills you need 😄 Delicious thingies!!
But yes.. watching a lot of dutch TV, movies, will help a ton. I watch a truckload of K-drama and boy have I learnt a lot of Korean. I could learn a lot more, if there was someone to practice with .. which you have.. so you will retain it a lot more. You doing good. :)
thank you Angela, yes, learning new words everyday :)
Ik leer Nepalees uit een lesboek. Mijn handigste zin is: hoe zeg je dit in Nepal? Nepalma, laai ke banccha? Dan kun je alles aanwijzen en het woord leren!! Succes, je doet het prima!!!
Dankje Marijke! Ik geef het door aan Adi 😄 Nepalees lijkt me een uitdaging!
I'm learning English. That's why I watch your video, you have a good accent :)
Thank you Lera
You know what...
You guys are amazing.
Haha thanks 😊😊
I just started learning Dutch and really enjoy it. One day I will visit The Netherlands and practice more.
Hey Garrett, that's great! how are you finding it so far?
@@LetsMeetAbroad I love it so far. 🙂
Good work Adi! Keep it up :)
Thank you so much 😃😃
Dutch, German and English are all part of the West Germanic language family and so share a lot, though Dutch and German are much closer to each other- zinbauw, woordenschap enz. and Dutch grammar is waaaaay easier than German grammar. My problem was that I started learning German first, and when I visited Rotterdam I spoke Dutch with a heavy German accent. So when people gave up they switched to German- which was Ok. "Ich kann Sie verstehen, aber ich komme aus Amerika." "Neeeee, Amerika????" Yeah, then to English with my definite New York City accent. So, I struggle, mostly with uitspraak. My on-line teacher says, "Ik wil de "K" duidelijk te horen" So iKKKK- I tend also to do the "ik" a bit softer as the German "ich"....and hey, how you doin with the "sch" and separable verbs? At least, because of German I understand the separable verb thing. That took me about six years to start feeling comfortable with it in German. Since I have been climbing that ladder in German, and the Dutch separable verbs are very similar, I was almost there right from the get-go.
Een reis voor mij in de volgende week naar Munchen- ik kun mijn duits eindelijk echt uitproberen. Een bezoek naar het nederlands komt gauw...of beter....binnenkort....ugh.
Haha that is actually a great insight
Goed bezig Adi! Over een maand of 7 spreek jij prima Nederlands. Zou wel vragen aan Post It of zij jouw willen sponseren 😜
Hahaha nouu doe maar niet, die post-its zijn leuk voor even 😜 maar laten we hopen 7 maanden!
Please tell us about netherlands culture, dating, relationships, lifestyle, beliefs,
Luister veel naar Nederlandse tv- en radiozenders. Spreek een aantal uren per dag alleen maar Nederlands met je vrienden.
Leuke video's echt waar. Ik leer er ook van (camera standpunten etc.). Maar wat mij echt dwars zit... Je woont in Voorburg (gemeente Leidschendam-Voorburg). Niet in Den-Haag zoals jullie elke keer zeggen. Zoals Jochem Meyer zou zeggen.... Dat is een irritatie factortje...
Dat gezegd hebbende, fijne dagen, en doorgaan met de video's.
Hey Frits! Bedankt 😃 daar heb je helemaal gelijk in, maar omdat we letterlijk 20 meter van Den Haag wonen en ons leven ook op Den Haag gericht is voelt het wel zo! We zullen de volgende keer een kleine disclaimer toevoegen haha. Fijne paasdagen! 🐣
@@LetsMeetAbroad disclaimer moeten jullie zeker niet doen... Ik moest gewoon even mijn ei kwijt (Pasen hè 😉) als geboren Leidschendammer en nu wonende in Voorburg. Ik woon, denk ik, 50 meter van Den-Haag af en snap jullie punt helemaal, máar sinds de annexatie (ja ja jaren geleden) ligt het toch erg gevoelig. (Research momentje🧐😉😂)
Haha dat gaan we idd even opzoeken!!
Dutch is kind of similar to german..if you know german learning dutch would have been much more simpler....I thought of doing it as well... Ur videos are great in clarity..good luck.
Thank you Safi 😄 haha true, but I dont know german!
If you explain that you're trying to learn the language and ask Dutch people to talk slower and or use maybe a bit more basic vocabulary they will be happy to accomodate. Good luck on your learning journey, looks like you're already doing great! Most important tip: don't worry about being perfect, focus on being understandable even if that means butchering the language.
Thanks for the tips!
I'm Italian, but I speak English and I know a bit of German, and I recognized most of the words. So I suppose that for those who already know the two languages, it is not so hard to learn Dutch.
The problem is that Dutch is different from German and English with respect to grammar.
If you use the yellow memory paper, include the article! You'll regret if you don't.
Thanks 😊
i live in the Netherlands and am 11 years old and learning how to learn other people how to speak dutch LOL
haha that sounds like a great idea
Good stuff, make one we’re your wife talks to you only in Dutch all day
Haha good one. Will do that 😁😁
Nice video.
Thanks Shubham!
Veel lezen en communiceren
Love from Nepal
Thank you so much 😊
we praten maar we spreken een taal ( je spreekt Nederlands Frans of Engels )
Hello friends 😎😎😎
Wao... Your channel is very beautifull 😱😍
Thank you. Gald you liked it 😊 you
Do you guys have any plan to visit Nepal again? will love to see!
We would love to!! But for now it's hard to make any travel plans..
This is very innovative .
Enjoying your videos.These really differdnt.
👏🎊🎊
Thank you so much Ravindra 😄
6.43 RIP dutch skills..😅😂
😂
Learning is easy if you Dutch GF
Be direct zeg 'dat je nederlands leert & dit wilt oefenen'.
Also maybe the older comic series 'Van nul tot Nu' might help you as it tells the history of the Netherlands whilst at the same time you'll get some more vocabulary and sentences.
I will check that out, thanks Djoke! 😃
And otherwise you might want to look into older Dutch shows: Baantjer (crime drama) or more comedic like: Zeg eens Aa, Samsam or Flodder for some variety of how things are said or sound (also they are kind of iconic belonging to a sort of Dutch TV knowledge)
Heheh... die!! 😁 (not die in English, but “that one” in Dutch)
Dutch an easy language? That’s the first time I hear that. Yes, it has a lot of similarities with English,.. but easy?!? The pronunciation, the word order, irregular verbs and many exceptions to the rules. Not to discourage anyone, but I never heard that it is easy to master.
Haha true!! Myra here: I think Adi doesn't realize that yet 🙈 the words are easy yes, but the grammer... even I am struggling with it every day!
@@LetsMeetAbroad Same here,.. I’m a born Dutchie, but my grades for English were higher than for Dutch.
@@herby4911 Dat komt omdat je bij Nederlands onzin als "Karel ende Elegast" en literatuurgeschiedenis en stijlfiguren moest leren. Met als gevolg dat er nu geen mens meer een foutloze e-mail/brief schijft.
Go to the nuns in Vught
Haha that might be the 'in case of emergency' solution
use Dutch subtitles even if you watch English movies
Yep, that's a great one. Thank you 😊
Hoi 😎
Hey
verbazingwekkend.
Haha thanks Shreya :)
