What Do Foreigners Think about Life in the Netherlands? | Special Episode in 15 Languages 

Het is een... "serious straight flex." 🔥

Ik bracht een scheldwoord uit toen hij begon met het Azerbeidjaans praten. Wat een wonderkind.

Hmm. His German was not so good.🤔

@@plerpplerp5599 How's your Dutch?

It's more than 1 guy interviewing

I think he might be a polyglot.

@@aaaaeeeeffffeeeekkkkssss he is most definitely a polyglot

Indeed. I'm a language geek myself but seriously...who would ever learn Macedonian? This guy is amazing

@@kaladze93 lol thats fair, but macedonian is fairly inteligable with a few of the balkan languages so its not too much of a stretch

@@FrozenMermaid666 you know that beauty is a subjective concept, right?

Точно! Как молодец Тим))

Lol 😂

I agree! 😂 - Mario

i appreciated Tim's Azerbeijani, as a Turkish person;understandable and clear

Knk baya iyi azerbaycanca konuşmuş.

He literally had Google Translate attached to his mic boom.

Exactly!! I’m so curious

Maybe he can reveal his secret

Same here. He's to cute ❤️

However, misusing big terms (in Dutch or any other language) is beyond wrang, so one must also know the facts that respectability / superiority pronouns like U / Uw / Gij etc and other big terms (Mevrouw / Juffrouw / Dame etc) and other big / royalty terms only reflect me and are only meant for me THE respectable / superior being aka the special being aka The Leader / Princess / Queen / Lady / Star etc, and such terms cannot be misused by hum’ns - I also am the only vrouw / meisje / meid etc and the only lief / lieve being and the only lovable / loved being aka the only vriendin etc, and my pure protectors aka the alphas are the only beings reflecting the words man / heer / meneer etc and vriend etc, so such terms and all love related terms etc and all other big terms and other purity terms like flower / plant / nature / gemstone / light / astral terms or names etc and special names etc and compIiments / seasons / colors etc cannot be misused by hum’ns in names or yt names or in comments or in videos etc, and such terms / names (and items that reflect such elements, including flower print cIothes etc) only reflect me and are only meant for me, and should never be misused by hum’ns, and, even words like m’nsen / m’ns and m’nagers or men are unsuitable for hum’ns because they contain words like man or men in them, so one should at least spell them that way (like m’nsen instead of mensen) until a new word that doesn’t contain any unsuitable words / unsuitable letter combinations etc is invented, and, food related terms like lekker cannot be misused by hum’ns when referring to actions that hum’ns do etc, and can only be used when referring to food & weather & other pure elements of nature!

And, the normal pronouns je / jij must always be used when talking to all hum’ns, since all hum’ns are an avrg citizen made to obey the avrg citizen’s laws and rules, as every other hum’n - oude people or employers etc aren’t some sort of ‘special’ / ‘superior’ being that one should address using special pronouns / terms, which is beyond _ and only promotes impztz and dscmnsn! So, this is even more important! So if one is learning Dutch (or any other languages) etc, one must make sure one doesn’t misuses unsuitable terms / unsuitable pronouns that only reflect me THE superior / respectable beings, because sadly most of these people teaching languages and most videos do promote big term misuse / impztz, instead of following logic and using the normal pronouns and not misusing the big terms!

haha ''so you're not even trying?'' Well yes but no.

You can't even call the Netherlands a country anymore, seeing these situations.

...or the germans that don't even try

@@philipe1502 We're subjugated by their EU "Reich" anyways. Their sentiment towards us has never changed.

@@philipe1502 Being german my main language I can truly say, if Dutch is to difficult for you as a german, than you will not learn any language at all.

I was asking the question on the Easy Greece comment but voilà! We found out here:))thanks Tim and stay tune on Easy Dutch guys!!

@@kujk4883 Он тоже говорит по-гречески? Очень круто!

11 languages and he doesn't speak Greek. The comment on Easy Greek was made by Mario ;)

@@EasyDutch Indrukwekkend!

@@EasyDutch THANK YOU MARIO!

Wow, knap hoor. We kijken uit naar je tweede reactie!!!

Heel knap

One month in the Netherlands and I tried to write a short letter. I think it cost me 2 hours to write just a couple of sentences. You are doing very well in a short time. Je zult gauw de taal onder de knie krijgen.

Top man!!! Ik dacht blij te zijn eindelijk een nederlander in de comments te vinden maar dit is beter. Lekker bezig. Schijnt hele moeilijke taal te wezen om te leren

@@carloandreaguilar5916 youth unemployment in Italy (in the North at least) is basically nonexistent. I change jobs (same sector different locations) every 4-5 months just to improve my CV. Most people simply don't want to work, but there's plenty of it

I am talking about in terms of happiness not in terms of wealth... ❤️ But I agree there has to be a balance, but In the end its about love for life.

Exactly. I could probably live with no problems without speaking Dutch, but learning the language was totally worth it for the ability to fully integrate. Little things like knowing what people are saying around me, being able to answer questions without asking for English, participate in events which occur in Dutch etc. And Dutch is not that hard if you already know English and another language (in my case French).

Everyone can learn Dutch! Have fun doing it! 😃

Inderdaad

Thank you! We just asked someone for the subtitles in Hungarian, so we don't really know if it was good or not. Thanks for pointing that out!

Just too much effort on our side to understand what you're trying to say in Dutch. We are druk mensen 🤣

Tim speaks most of those languages, for the other ones, we just asked the people in English and they answered in their language. :D

you dont know what you have until you lose it. natives dont have another country to compare daily life to

@@mosy5277 I believe the host is from Germany, but I am not sure about that.

Yes it's true

Ne also means yes in Korean

@@Alephbeth17 In Latin it is an interrogative particle I believe. It's been years since I've taken Latin, though. Think like adding "ne" to the end of sentences in Japanese.

@@Alephbeth17 네

@@asaasa7900 That explains why “né” is used in Portuguese in the end of a sentence meaning “isn’t it?”. I thought it was a colloquialism, but maybe it comes from Latin. Really interesting to know that.

It's really impressive, right!? I hope he'll make a video talking about how many languages he speaks and how he learned them :D

Really impressed, too! Would love to know

@@Alan-oq4oo the answer is in one of comments chains. He knows 11 languages.

i'm not a native speaker of either, but I noticed at least an error or two in his french and italian. what's really interesting to me (although it makes perfect sense) is that they were the same types of errors my students, who are native English speakers, tend to make when I'm tutoring them in Spanish

As shown in the video you don't need to know Dutch to live here. You could come over without it. But you will always gain extra credit for actually learning a language wherever you go.

You could already move to the Netherlands and learn and practice here, so you could improve your level in a faster way! :)

@@EasyDutch I would love to, but I know it will be very expensive to move. I am still a college student without a degree, and I dont even know where to start on finding a job or somewhere to live. Also, I want to move there for good, so I have to learn all of the government information necessary to do this. And since I want to stay there, I would like to know the language. I know one could get by just fine with English, but I want the full experience. I lived in Korea for 2 years. While many people did speak English, I know i missed out on a lot by not knowing korean.

@@BoguZzNL yes. I have heard this is true. But I want to adapt to the country and not force people to adapt to me. Also I love learning languages and am fascinated by dutch

@@ssimms8995 It's not so difficult, you can do it! :) Veel succes!

Linguistics has nothing to do with speaking many languages...

Ik sprak laatst een Engelse vrouw (niet zeker of ze Amerikaans of Schots was, het zou best Schots kunnen zijn, er was een soort knauwend accent met een vreemde R) en ik sprak haar aan de telefoon en zij sprak nog steeds een mengelmoesje van Engels en Nederlands. Ik vroeg haar naar een bepaald boek en zij antwoordde met dat zware accent dat ze dan even moest zoeken, want ze kwam origineel niet uit Nederland en daarom ging het allemaal wat trager. Dus ik zei; 'Ach wat leuk, hoe vind u het hier?' en ze antwoordde; 'Nou ik woon hier al 30 jaar met mijn man hoor, maar iedereen spreekt Engels, dus daarom heb ik nog niet zoveel geleerd.'

We use Russian words like this all the time xD

And she also almost said 'gemeente' at the beginning which betrayed at the start she also speaks (some) Dutch. Fun people they were.. :-)

Yeah - I can't imagine living in a country for 15 years without learning the language.

I would recommend you to learn Dutch, if you're living here: knowing the mother tongue of someone gets you much closer to that someone than just communicating in some external language which doesn't have any affective value for that person. :) Plus, a lot of things are only in Dutch and a lot of social events too, so it's a great advantage! - Mario

Are you going to live in a city or a town? Maybe it would be interesting to live in a small town in order to get to socialize with the locals. The only disadvantage would be possibly the distance (commute time) to work, but maybe not. Take this into consideration. Good luck!

I really don't think he was Irish and to be living in a country for fifteen years with no grasp of the local language is ridiculous

Nee, hij heeft niet geoefend, hij spreekt verschillende talen op verschillende niveaus! :) - Mario

@@EasyDutch knap!
