Swedish girl tries to speak Flemish - Belgian girl tries to speak Swedish 

she has green hair

Danku

That's called the zachte G (soft G).... as opposed to the hard G of the northern Netherlands.

Jolanda1990 its hard for fle mish People to speak dutch

no? it's so easy. its harder for dutch people to speak flemish because of the accent

I live just 20 minutes away from Belgium. I can speak both. I don't have troubles to pronounce the "G" correctly

Jolanda1990 In the south of the Netherlands we pronounce the same 'g' as the flemish

eller färöiska!

***** What a great introduction :DDD But dont Swedish people also have the "H" sound?

+DownFlex Isch eiße Linda :D

@@DownFlex yes but does not sounds as rough as German, Flemish, dutch or German or Danish

+Sakari Kestinen yep, both are germanic languages

+Charles Vcz ik weet / jag vet :)

oh okay, cool :)

Exactly! I'm flemish myself and i can understand a written swedish text. I don't know any details though. And i never learned swedish before! (Ok, i do know the expression "gå och drå något gammalt över dig" but that's it)

Ja, wij zeggen een inderdaad 'een tas koffie' :) Een ander groot verschil is het gebruik van 'ge/ gij (en u en uw)' met daarbij de werkwoordsvormen die anders zijn. (Jij mag = Gij moogt, Jij bent = Gij zijt, Jij was = Gij waart)

+opalblue congratulations two difficulty languages

+opalblue Det gör jag med! Niet een veel voorkomende combinatie ;)

+opalblue what's your native language? And is Dutch or Swedish more difficult to learn?

Going by the video it seems like Flemish is way harder for a swede to pronounce than Swedish is for a Flemish speaker..

yes, it just has a different accent (like English spoken in britain and American English)

+agnieszka van heirreweghe Dank je lady for your answer~♡

+윤마눙 your welcome ^^

you're*

+agnieszka van heirreweghe hehe~R u Dutch lady?^^

+Benjaminnet Because they are the same language. The dutch spoken in Flanders is just called Flemish just like the English spoken in the US is called American. I know because I am Flemish.

+Andreas Baert No it's called American English, not American.

YangSing1 Well certainly not by everybody because I have a friend in the US that I skype with somtimes. He constantly speaks about how he speaks American and not British. In fact calling Flemish, Flemish/Belgian Dutch would be more accurate because it's exactly the same language.

Andreas Baert I don't know any American who says that, unless he's joking. But no, in everyday speech they'd just say "I speak English" and if they wanna be more specific for any reason they'd just say "I speak American English". Also British people never say they speak British either, that just sounds dumb.

+Benjaminnet Flemish IS dutch hahaha. It is the Belgian dutch. (just like usa english and uk english)

It's almost a German dialect.

it isn't lmao flemish is belgian dutch, german is completely different

it's just her accent that sounds sometimes german

Flemish is inofficial for Belgian Dutch. I am German and I speak a low German dialect, which is very close to Dutch, I can understand news etc. German cannot be “Completely different“, because they all are Germanic languages. Think before writing!

Max Bräutigam no i just want to point it out on the fact that you write that flemish is "almost like a german dialect" which it isn't. i know of course that (flemish-)dutch and german have the same roots. (flemish-)dutch and german are like norwegian and swedish, different but having the same roots. but i know what you meant though. the "completely different' part made you probably question my answer.
