amsterdam place names - and how to say them

see also: www.amstergasm.com
sometimes newcomers to amsterdam have trouble pronouncing where exactly they are, which can get in the way of (for example) calling for a taxi, an ambulance, or pizza. i made a little movie to try and help with that. my own dutch pronunciation is imperfect to say the least, but this kinda gets you in the ballpark. music is from echospace (alain curvers & djoxfutura), thanks fellas. - sgc

    You have a very good pronunciation of Dutch, something which is not easy for many expats. I will recommend these videos to the expats I teach Dutch to. Very well made and informative, bedankt.

    "As you can see they're digging something up here too. They're always digging something up in Amsterdam." had me cracking up. Great pronunciation, btw!

    The pacing of the video, as well as your quiet and slow voice over, is just right for people trying to figure it all out.

    thank you for this. I am visiting in September and I always like to be able to pronounce things correctly or near correctly. It just seems like the courteous thing to do. This was so informative and well done by adding the visuals.

    also fun too watch for dutchies for the history behind all of those names. Someone recommended this after I asked if Amsterdam was named after De Dam or the other way around. Now I know.
