Learn Dutch: Which Past Tense do you use? OVT or VTT - with Niels! 

Niels, we need you back. Your lessons are the most I have ever attended and you just make people want to learn. Your videos are high quality and clear, we can see that you put a lot of effort into making them.

This is one of the most helpful channels about learning dutch. It's a pity there are no new videos.(

Hello Niels ! Hope you are doing well ! We don't know the reason why did you stop uploading any new videos but you must know that you are a very rare person who is very quiet , calm , serious , always to the point , never talk useless words or something unnecessary ! in a word a complete, proper on line teacher who can connect to the unknown audiences easily to be honest ! We miss your lessons honestly and eagerly waiting for your come back .............................

Come back Niels!! I need more lessons plss

I am a retired language teacher and I very much appreciate the clarity of your explanations on the uses of the OVT and the VTT.

The best Dutch lessons. Thank you, Niels!

Hello Niels and your support team!! I must say you make such flawless and authentic videos with all the required logic, and it really helped me a lot to learn Dutch with lot of confidence. I request that you please kick-start your expertise tips with all the essential advice in creating videos for A2 and B1 levels. I hope to see you back on screen soon. I appreciate you and your group.

I really enjoy all your videos, and I would have love if you could make more of them. I read in a comment that you got a new job and moved to a new country so now you don't really have a lot of time. So probably no more videos will come, but I just wanted to let you know that I think you are the best Dutch teacher on RU-vid. Your videos are really great, with clear explanations and lots of examples and even exercices. You don't add distracting sounds or sentences and you speak very clearly, which make your lessons even better. I wish you the best and thanks for having made all these lessons!

ur videos are helpful indeed to us who wants to know the proper way of constructing a sentence in Dutch

Hi Niels, You are the best Dutch teacher I've ever found, your teaching is the most understandable also a lot of fun for learners. I am currently studying A2 level, I've watched all of your videos, I really hope that you continue posting more lessons.

Your videos are the best! Very clear, not plagued with meta language, clear examples and great pace. I am sure that all who had seen them want more. How can we have more of your videos?

Hello Niels, Your videos really helping me to learn Dutch. Please do more videos . Looking forward. Thanks😍

Hi!! You make it so easy!! Please don’t stop teaching us!!! Thanks a lot!!

Hello Niels, love your Dutch lessons and your method of explaining, that’s why I am asking you to make a video about future tense please.

You was born to explain the most difficult stuff and so many people miss you here

It's sad to know that you no longer upload new videos. I hope you know that you are helping thousands to learn Dutch. We thank you for your videos, wish you the best Niels!

Hallo Niels, how are you? Long time we did not see your update video. You have better explanation about Dutch to learn... We miss you

Hi Niels, I recently came across your channel as I am learning Dutch but find my lessons move too quickly for me to grasp these concepts in class. I really appreciate your clear and concise explanations! You're a great teacher so keep doing what you're doing :) Thanks!

Je hebt zojuist mijn dag gered, dank je wel daarvoor! Ik was opzoek naar een duidelijke en simpele manier van uitleg.

Als schrijver is deze les zo belangrijk voor mij en u uitleg was super duidelijk . Ik ben er zo blij mee. U bent de best , hartelijk bedankt .

6:25 “The last thing I want to talk about is habits in the past...”. Yeah, me too! Hahaha 😄

Hello Niels! I'm basically just starting out in my process of learning Dutch and I love your videos. Like others, I hope you come back and start uploading again -- your videos are extremely concise and helpful. I also hope that you're well, as this video (your most recent as of right now) was uploaded right before the worst of COVID happened.

Great video once again. I am currently actively learning Dutch and I would like to take an official exam in the near future. I have been trying to book an exam in the UK , however I do not have any issues travelling to the Netherlands if necessary. If anyone here could help me find an easy way to book an official exam to track my progress then I will be forever grateful.

This is one of the most helpful channels why did you stop posting new videos. You are really a talented teacher. Continue the Excellent work.

Niels. Come back! I want more! Open a support page and i will pay :)

Hello Niels, how to contact you for online or face to face classes. You have the factor X to teach which means unique. You make the Dutch class easy, encourage the student and you have vocation and passion for teaching. Please keep teaching your language and culture.

N-i-e-l-s!! Are you there? I too have recently discovered your videos. The one focusing on 'word order' is exceptional. It seems there are many Dutch learners here who have watched your series of videos & would love you to do some more. You are so talented, a natural teacher...

hello niels ! I like the way you explain lessons. please keep going and thank you for your effort.

Hi, Why we don't see you anymore? I always wait for your new video. Please don't stop teaching us. We need you. You teach us so clearly. :)

Dank je voor de uitleg over dit thema :)

Niels! your videos are amazing, dank je wel!

I was so confused with word ordering in a sentence and stumbled upon your video. Could you pls continue uploading ? One per month would also do :)

You explained past tense so perfectly! Hopefully you find the time and energy to do the future tense too!

Damn, thank you for making incredibly useful educational videos. You're really helping me with the learning of dutch which I really appreciate! I would love to donate to you in order to give you something for your hours of work, but I am currently not in a position where I could financially support you via Patreon :/. Hope you post more videos someday in the future!

Thank You so much niels ❤️

Another great episode by the best colleague! 😄

Dankjewel, Deze regels zijn eindelijk duidelijk voor mij

Thanks for the great videos, you're explaining very well! I'd really appreciate one about should, would (zou/ zouden) aso cause it really confuses me a lot..

Native Dutch speaker here: What Niels says, is correct. But, we don't take it too seriously in the Netherlands. Half the time, it does not really matter if you use OVT or VTT. Hence, half the time it does sound a bit weird if you do it "wrong". If you follow Niels, you will almost always do it right. Although, I must confess that I would have preferred "Ik ben gisteren naar Amsterdam geweest" instead of Niels' sentence "Ik was gisteren in Amsterdam".

Hartstikke bedankt Niels! Ik vind jouw lessen het best. Het helpt me erg. Zou je een les over scheidbare werkwoorden willen opnemen?

Thank you for not including a whole bunch of trash-talking in your videos.

Nice tutorial sir.nI want to learn Dutch. Thank you

Oh! Dat is best kanal ever for dutch learning!

I hope you also tackle zetten, leggen, liggen, stoppen, staan and the likes. Thanks for your videos!

Super useful video! It really cleared this issue. Sometimes I wish to have teacher like you than the one I currently have :| The OVT was never so nicely explained.

Bedankt Niels.

Hi Niels that's great appreciated Please focus on grammar and make more videos on grammar I have problem in tenses for example past perfect if it is possible explain the pattern of tenses your explanations are understandable I wish one day in Belgim I use it
