me: trying to repeat words with throat sound also me: adding throat sound every few letters even if it's not needed my throat: i'm dead

After three hours of watching this video over and over again, I've managed to introduce myself as Marleen. Edit: Thanks for the likes, my fellow language learners.

All the basics you need: 1. speak German 2. speak English 3. mix them weirdly together :D

I kept saying marleen instead of my name

My brain at 2pm: *struggling to understand school assignments* Brain in the dead of night: “Must learn Dutch to surprise dutch friend”

As someone who doesn’t speak the language, Dutch sounds like someone is rewinding English on a recording

Currently learning Dutch with duo, ím kinda proud of myself that i already knew all of the basics!

I'm currently quarantined laying in bed and trying to learn dutch lol

4:24 "How do you answer? It's easy! Here's the most common response:" **IMITATES ORCISH THROAT NOISES**

Wow it’s amazing how straightforward Dutch is. I’m a native English speaker and currently learning German for some time. In my mind Dutch sounds like a softer version of German. I will try and continue listening to Dutch

I am native Spanish speaker and I have found these videos very easy to understand. Dutch pronountation is really hard.

I have no problem understanding Dutch when it's spoken slowly like this but if I'm having a regular conversation with a Dutch person I lose everything

Indonesia had been colonized by the Dutch for a long time in the past. Therefore, There are many Dutch words still used in Indonesia until today. Even many older people in Indonesian still speak Dutch in their limited circles. I am so happy following your lessons. you are great. Thank you very much.

I'm Dutch, but it's still funny to watch.😅

I have a lot of Dutch friends online and I’m gonna learn there language and surprise them by speaking it 😂 wish me look

11:08 "Hello, LMAO"

*It OnLy TaKeS tHrEe MiNuTeS!!!!!* **talks for 22 minutes**

I'm in a more advanced stage of learning German, but I'm starting to learn Dutch because I have Dutch friends and I'm traveling to the Netherlands soon. I've actually lived in the Netherlands for a short time--regrettably I was amongst only English speakers and I hadn't the time to learn Dutch. The one problem I have with Dutch is motivation. I know that my German would be useful on trips to Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. I also know from experience that almost everyone in the Netherlands speaks English. IN fact, I've never met one that didn't. So, given that learning a language is hard and because everyone in the Netherlands speaks English AND the fact that Dutch isn't a global language on the scale of, say, German, French or Spanish, I finds myself often asking "why am I doing this again?" But the great thing about learning Dutch, especially if you have some knowledge of German, is that it is easy to pickup. Its grammar is far less complicated than German yet so many words are cognates or near-cognates between those two Germanic languages. The real trick is the challenging (for me) pronunciation. Where I was stationed in the Netherlands, Limburg Province, they almost all spoke 1) Dutch (of course), 2) English, 3) German and, 4) French.

She seems to be a wonderful person and teacher. Her eyes blinks with a motherly care. God bless her.

Me in my head: Goedendag Me in reality:💦Goed💦💦e💦nda💦g

Dutch sounds so familer but yet sounds jibberish to an English speaker

If you are suffering from cold, speak in this language for half an hour and your throat will get cleared. LOL

This is so easy to understand when you know German. Now I only need to remember not to throw around and mix all the thousand false friend phrases ! : )

"Ik spreek geen Engels" sounds to me like a phrase that no Dutch person would ordinarily use. A bit like "Gosh, that Italian family at the next table sure is quiet".

Me: “learn Dutch in 30 min” clicks on it☺️ Also me: Born and live 17 years in the Netherlands 😌

I remember trying to learn dutch with this channel when I was 9. I'm turning 16 this year

Currently homesick and using this language to help my momentary depression.

4:49 'now it's time for Marleen's insides' I'm dead

Me: damn, pronouncing that "g" sound is hard and i need to say it slowly and deliberately! Merleen: "graag gedaan"

I'm mohammed from Egypt. I feel that Dutch is a language in a middle position between English and German. That's make it easier to me because I can speak both of them. Dankuwel, Marleen U r the best 👏👏

Goedendag in formal parts is hardly used anymore and just sound weird to the Dutch. To be honest, I heard it only a handful of times in my life and frankly, it kinda creeps me out. Also, the n in Goeden is hardly ever pronounced, except in goedenavond. It sounds extremely weird imo. Better would be to indeed use the parts of the day: Goede-morgen, -middag, goedenavond. Goedenavond is a bit of an ugly duckling in this pond as it can be used as greeting as well as a goodbye. Pay attention to tv programs in the evening: the presenter starts with goedenavond and ends with goedenavond. At night, goedenacht IS used, but only in sparse occasions as a goodbye. When people go to sleep, one usually says simply "welterusten", meaning good night or sleep well. When it's past midnight and you know the people won't be sleeping any time soon, say goedenacht. Generally you can just say "hallo" when visiting people, it generally doesn't matter what the occasion is. This can even further informalized by saying "hoi". Since everything is pretty informal in the Netherlands, goedemiddag has become basically informal as well. Tot ziens is rather formal, but somehow acceptable: you'd say it when leaving an job interview, a customer, shop or business. You can also say: doei, doeg, dag (with a long "a" as if there were 2 or 3 a's in the word); and, depending on the area you're in, aju or ajuus is also very acceptable (aju comes from the french "adieu" - you will find that Dutch has a lot of french words and expressions on loan).

What a beautiful language. This is my first time ever listening to it and to be honest it sounds so nice!!

Wow, this is amazing. Brief to the point and you cover a lot in a short period, you are really great😊

I watched this wanting to learn dutch. I ended the video with an accent and confused.

Thank you so much. These lessons are fantastically easy to understand. I especially appreciate the formal/informal tips!

Omg this video is the best one I've found yet! Husband and I are planning to move to the Netherlands, so we're trying to learn Dutch beforehand

Very clear and easy to understand. Dank u wel, Marlene.

Love this language !! Hope I can learn it well

Hello Marleen, this is Kedar from Nepal. Lovely, I will follow you to learn Dutch language. It's easy n clear. Appreciated.

Wow this video is really helpful. I speak fluent Afrikaans and understand Dutch fully. Just need to familiarize myself with the different pronunciation. "Geodendag" en "Geoie dag" in Afrikaans. 😃 I'm from South Africa 🇿🇦 and blessed by this video. 🙏

I watch because of my online buddy recommendation. The video is so good. I am counting days for my dutch test and I am so nervous. The video is so cool. I can understand easily.

By the way, beautiful English Marleen!

Love this video! So helpful and well explained! THANKS!

Very good video, thank you! It helps a lot. I am trying to learn Dutch, and I found that it's very close to English and German language. My foreign language is Greek, but in English translation, I can understand them better😁

I'm glad she never explained how to say "how are you?" in Dutch. That's a sentence you never use in the Netherlands unless you really want to know someone's life story. You especially don't ask it to strangers. In Dutch, it's, "hoe gaat het?" incase you're curious.

Thank you! These lessons are fantastic and easy to understand.

I wish I found your Dutch lessons a year ago, I would have been speaking it fluently!!!. Yes, I have just found it about a week ago but I feel so good learning from your lessons. You are such amazing gifted teacher. Please keep it up. You are appreciated. 😘

I will start learning Dutch. Thank you my great teacher

you sure are one of the best soft minded school teachers I ever have experienced! keep it up 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you Marleen..Your lessons are clear and easy to understand .dankuwel.

Really good. Simple logical and easy to remember structure to get me started. Bedangkt!

I worked in Paramaribo, Suriname at the American Embassy as a Marine back in 87’ & 88’. Mrs DeMiranda was my language instructor. We were (the Marines and Embassy employees) super close with the whole family. I miss speaking with everyone in Nederlander. I’m sure I don’t speak good anymore. I really miss the people, especially my fellow Marines and my driver Johnny. Thanks for your ear and Tot zines!

I am so excited to start this- I am trying to learn a 3rd language so that I may be more valuable at work. You are so incredibly clear and my 5 year old decided to join me

My Grandpa is Dutch, but I never learned it when I was a child (is a shame). I'm motivated to get started and I think I might have a little advantage as a native German speaker. 'Cause so many words are similar.

Hoi Marleen, ik kom uit Indonesie. ik heb nederlands geleerd in 2001 maar nu alles vergeten. dit kanaal geef me enthousiast om weer te leren. Groetjes.

Some dutch: Frikandelbroodje

Thank you very much! Very good introduction to Dutch :)

Thank you so much Marlene,this is so learn!❤

Since, thanks to Corona, I've got plenty of time I thought I'd start to learn a new language. Thanks to my knowledge in English, French, German and Swiss German I can already understand most of the Dutch I hear (it's strange how similiar Dutch and a mixture of some swiss dialects sound). Now it's time to learn how to speak it. Thank godness I can pronounce the "g" without my throat getting sore, because it sounds like the Swiss German "ch".

I love this language already since I herd the first word

You are smart and professional teacher! Your way of teaching is vary appealing to all ages!

Wow, ongeloofbaar. Koeiige waarheid! Nu wachten op cursus: "Nederlands binnen 3 minut". Nederlands iesie taal. 30 minutt beetje vel, weet je. Dit definitie van "spreken" is geweldig, nu spreken ik 19 talen!

I'm dutch, why am I here

Bedankt Marleen!

I am a native afrikaanse speaker and learning dutch so i can go overseas to study . Its funny how the Formal Dutch is nearly identical to our language but the informal is way different im not shure which is better to know but im guessing formal will make me sound more smart lol. Goedendag Totziens !

thank you very much! So clearly and shortly explained❤

15:20 calling marleen right now! Marleens insights needed...

As a half German half British guy I must say Dutch is a fun and easy language to learn lol

its 4 o clock in the morning nd we're listening nd lerning thanks to you, excellent work thnk you

Wow. Very nice. I am planning to learn basic of Dutch using your video.

Y'all are really fond of that 'g' sound 💦

When you already speak German then Dutch is quite easy to understand and Learn

Thanks for learning me this, Because I watched this I am now born in the Netherlands and time to start my military career while speaking English because yes, I learned that from this

Marlene, thank you very much it's lively and interesting tutorial

Informal vs formal is only really important in customer service or when talking to significantly older people.

Im from Serbian, and its so hard for me to pronounce the 'G'. But ur voice is so beautiful!!! Sksksksksk

Zeer bedankt! as an Indonesian I need to learn more about Dutch Language
