    As a native English speaker with some, albeit limited, German and an interest in old English and the Scandinavian languages, Nederlands has always fascinated me. It seems that either I get the gist of what people are saying to me, or feel like I really should have. I genuinely enjoy the way it sounds.
    At first, it's the guttural consonants that draw your attention, but those are pretty easy and can even sort of serve as a marker in a word or sentence to keep you from losing your way. What I find difficult to reproduce are the vowel sounds. Some of them seem to hover tantalizingly just out of reach...langzamer alstublieft spreken

      @Danzille Strauss...I totally agree Danzille.I'm English and more or less understood each sentence just by having learnt German fuhr ein jahre ins schül (over 45 years ago). I just love all languages and wish that I were multi-lingual in many.The sad thing is that we are not given many language options in school in England (or at least we weren't in my day),therefore many English people become lazy,I think and just expect to not need to try when abroad. Once,when I was on holiday,I thought I heard a lady in my hotel speaking in German and therefore spoke to her in German for the whole week.We managed to communicate pretty well but it wasn't until leaving when she overheard me speaking to my partner that she realised that I wasn't German and I realised that neither was she.She was in fact from South Africa! We both had such a laugh when we realised our mistake.

      That explains why Afrikaans also has a lot of cognates with English that make it easier to guess at. If you don't know why a certain antelope is called the "springbok", you can probably guess it has to do with jumping (which it does).

    • @Kleo3392
      @Kleo3392 6 лет назад +33

      Yassmin Mahmoud “Ik hou van het” is just grammatically incorrect. In Dutch, when a preposition introduces a neutral third person pronoun, the prepositional phrase is turned into a pronominal adverb, which is the adverb “er” or “daar”, depending on whether the pronoun is weak or strong, respectively, or “hier” if the pronoun refers to an object near the speaker, put together with the preposition itself, so “van het” becomes “ervan”, and “van dat” becomes “daarvan”, and “van dit”, becomes “hiervan”. If there are other adverbs in the sentence, however, the pronominal adverb is separated and the adverb goes in between, so “Ik hou er niet van.”

That was an absolutely different approach on the way the sport was played (today I know it was not exactly new), and I ended up as a brazilian teen willing to learn dutch, which is an almost alien language for us even today.

    Another weed thing about it was I was so adjusted to hearing Dutch and other foreign languages that when I heard a couple who were Americans from NY staying at my hostel speaking in American accents I looked at them confused, it took me about 10 seconds to figure out they were actually speaking “American” English. It sounded super weird, yes most people in Europe speak English but not hearing an American accent for awhile sounds super foreign and strange.

Jongen=Young'un in southern english=boy. I'm sure it will get more difficult as I go on, but so far, Dutch is easy peasy.

In my opinion, in the right voice and pronunciation, Dutch is the most beautiful language, and I know it's different, but hey, that's what I love about it, actually... I've been taking lessons for a few months now, I believe, and yes, I realize that some of the sounds in the language are very guttural, but somehow, the language is very charming to me/my ears, and I'm starting to somewhat get the hang of it, thanks to many other instructional and informative videos. :3
    I say, It makes me sad whenever people insult any languages at all, because every language is beautiful in their own ways. I know people have their opinions however... Nonetheless, I digress...

    Im from South Africa planning to move to the Netherlands. In school we learn Afrikaans which I can hear the similarities which is good so I dont have to study another language. Very excited to move to the Netherlands.

      Alex B. Awwh okay. Are you a speaker of Dutch?

      It sounds like French as well. It does make sense, since it is next to Deutschland und België

      +Brianna McCollum Nee, I lived in Amsterdam for a year. The reason why there's french words in Dutch language is because of history. The Netherlands used to have a french king Louis XIV. The coat of arm of the netherland have the sentence "Je m'aintiendrai" which is french as well. There's also Flemish which sounds alot like Dutch, it's spoke in the northern part of belgium.
