2:00 - ae 2:27 - ai 3:01 - ei & ij (exception 3:41 if 'ij' is followed by 'k' then ij is pronounced as 'uh' - applicable sometimes) 3:48 - eu 4:02 - ie (pronounced as english 'e') 4:21 - oe 4:35 - oi 4:46 - ui 5:18 - aai 5:34 - oei 5:51 - ooi 6:15 - eeuw & ieuw
-Ui is by far the hardest one imo.. It was hard at the beginnin cuz being a brazilian, I couldn't even recognize/"hear" the sound. I would just hear an "au" sound. Now I can at least hear but I'm not sure if I can reproduce properly. I just say it with enough confidence so people think i know what im saying haha

Your comment is 3 years old now but if it helps another fellow Brazilian: My Dutch girlfriend noticed how I was trying to pronounce the 'ui' sound and she told me to try to pronounce 'fruit' like 'frauijt'. Never got it wrong again works like a charm

As a Scot, I find it interesting that the "ui" sound is pretty close to how I naturally say words like "house" anyway, which is handy! Perhaps that might help others if they can impersonate a Scottish accent when they see "huis" haha :P

Well, "huis" is similar to my "house" anyway but now I heard "uil" in the next video and it's a bit different :P

There are other similarities between dutch and scottish english. The older the language, the more it has in common because of the similar roots.

@@wolfmoon5720 uil is a tricky one, also for Dutch people. The combination of UI + L makes it difficult to pronounce the ui properly. In normal speech we pronounce it in a sloppy way. When demonstrating how to pronounce it properly, we say it in a kinda awkward overly articulated way. The same goes for IJ + L.
am a beginners in language, this will be of a great help. Thank you and all best to me.

Some are very similar to french
I really wanna ask many questions. 1)In dutch is there a word for do 2) How do you structure a sentence 3)when do you use present tense and past tense? Dank u =)

1. doen 2. There isn't a stucture you can apply to all sentences, but the structure used in normal sentences is: subject - main verb/auxiliary - rest of the sentence - infinitive or past participle 3. you use the present tense when you're talking about something in the present, the past tense when you're talking about something in the past.
The vowel combinations are similar to Indonesian old spelling, due to Dutch colonisation
Funny leeuw and nieuw are both exactly the same as in my regional swiss german dialect
Thank you ! A little question : so in the word "Koninklijk" the ending pronounces as "luhk" ?

Volgens mij is y soms een klinker, soms een medeklinker. Het ligt aan het woord. Bijv in symbool is y een klinker.
why didn't the vocal "ee" appear? does it have the same pronounciation as "ei" and "ij"?

Hallo teacher Good Day teacher

Late reply, but it's pronounced the same as ij. So basically, the e is just silent. You'll only find it in old names and such
IJ: oorsprong van de lange ij Hoe is onze lange ij ontstaan? De ij bestaat eigenlijk uit twee keer een i (ii dus), waarvan de tweede i een haaltje kreeg, zodat het een j werd. Middeleeuwen: i → ii → ij Woorden als prijs en schijnen werden in de Middeleeuwen geschreven als prise en schinen. Om in de schrijftaal duidelijker aan te geven dat deze i lang moest worden uitgesproken, verdubbelde men hem: priise, sc(h)iint (‘schijnt’). Later kreeg de tweede i een haaltje (j). Dat was mede omdat er in de Middeleeuwen vaak geen punt op de i werd gezet en ii soms verward werd met de u. Vanwege die verwarring met de u raakte overigens ook de y (de i-grec) in sommige woorden in gebruik als schriftelijke weergave van een [ie]-klank. Het woord wijf (in de Middeleeuwen uitgesproken als [wief]) kon geschreven worden als wif, wiif, wyf en wief. In de loop van de zestiende eeuw veranderde de uitspraak van de ij: van [ie] naar [ei].

wow, it seems that no source can agree on how standard dutch should sound like Here I am reading "Dutch: An Essential Grammar" and there it states that au & ou sounds are pronounced like [ɔu] in IPA so short O sound and short U (IPA pronunciation) vowel... why is that?
@timbergroeneveld1287

I don't know about the exact official pronunciation but most people in the Netherlands pronounce au and ou similar to IPA /ɑu/. Personally, I say it more like /aʊ/ which is a Randstad accent and close to the English "ow" sound. To me /ɔu/ sounds either like the Flemish dialect spoken in the Dutch part of Belgium or a bit more conservative Dutch, which might be why it's in the guide. In the western part of the Netherlands, we often pronounce the long "oo" as /oʊ/. To keep the sounds distinguished the ou and au shift to a wider and more fronted diphthong.

How do you spell your name? It sounds very much like the Moroccan word for "who". If you knock on a Moroccan door and say your name, you'll be there all day! Note: Oh, got it! Koen! No, Moroccan is Shkoon, not Koen.
