@pazaj0 sorry :) I only picked countries that I knew people wanted.. maybe some other time I'll made a video with all the countries, but it'd take a long time!! We say "Polen". Pronounced sort of like "Poland" in England, but without the D at the end :)

If you paid attention to the video, I actually explain at the beginning that I based my choice of countries on statistics about where people were watching my videos at the time.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I'm from Colombia and I find a bit tricky dutch pronunciation, but your videos are pretty helpful! Keep on doing them please!! (Is Colombia pronunced as it's in english?) Hugs!

You included Mexico

So may I ask something, when you say Noord Amerika, in "Noord" you roll the R similarly to the english pronunciation, however in "Amerika" R sound more similar to the German r sound. Is there any rule on how you say r in dutch depending on the words? ir it is just however you hear it? Thanks!

I love these lessons! I'm from Sweden, and i'm actually thinking about studying Dutch next year... seems like a really fun language! Do you know any swedish? Just asking since i noticed that you put a heart after "Sweden" in the video :D

Yay! U did one for my country! What is the shortcut for "e" with double dot on top of it? Like one in Maleisie?

@TheFropsy we say " Tsjechie" (with dots on the final E, but I can't do that with this keyboard). the beginning is pronounced like the "cze" in "czech" , the "ch" is a G sound (in the back of your throat, the sort of scraping sound), and "ie" in this case is pronounced like "ia" in eg australia :)

your videos are so helpful, thank you for your time!!

Hi! I have come from UK. I intend to stay in the Netherlands and find your video extensively useful. Thanks a lot

@JoeCity001 Usually we'll just say "New York" when talking about NCY :)

Greetings from Mexico ! I am glad you include it !

@ZeldaWindWaker50 Holland is an area in the Netherlands (Noord-Holland and Zuid-Holland are 2 of our provinces). It's been the most populated, and economically most successful part of the country for a few centuries now, which (I think) is why lots of people know the entire country as Holland. I don't mind either name, but it's true that some people don't like Holland as a name.. since they don't really live there :) It's similar to telling a Scottish person he lives in England.

Hey, Thanks for this video! I think this is great, but i do have a quick question for you: How do you ask: What is the shortest way to the station? Thank you!

Haha! I'm liking the

@jeeschav thank you!! :D I probably won't make that video any time soon, because I've already made this one :) There's so many other things I want to do, as well ^_^ We do pronoune the N at the end of ZIJN, yes. Sometimes when words end in '-en', like 'hebben' we don't pronounce the 'n' as much --> so it becomes 'hebbe'. It's always correct to pronounce it, though, so I think it's easier to just remember that ;D

@hassanfakiri Not really. I have Swedish friends, but mostly I was trying to learn Swedish when recording that :D Have sort of.. stopped now, though, because summer holidays + uni happened.

Bedankt! Groeten uit Zuid-Afrika! Het jy geweet, Afrikaans en Nederlands is amper dieselfde? ^^

I just moved in here(NDL) and I have to tell you that the classes are awesome!

Thanks for the tutorials. I'm really interested about learning Netherlands and dutch people.

Coolness! I have been learning German for the past three years in University and I have found Dutch quite easy to pick up! It's fun!!!

How can i say Brazil / Brazilian?? Ps.: i'm loving your videos! i'm gonna go to the netherlands next yer for a year, and i'm lerning with your videos! =)

@Hoopermazing Most people watching have either been to the Netherlands or are planning to go / move here :) How did you find this if you're not interested in Dutch?

@xSebzx I only started learning Swedish because I took a year off from school (between high school and uni), and I got super frustrated not learning things :D So then when I did start uni about a year ago, I had enough other stuff to think about/learn and I stopped :) I have been to Sweden! Just for about a week, though.

@dabillybombom I think the best strategy is to just tell people you'd like them to speak Dutch :) Lots of people come across this problem, though. I guess we love showing off our language skills a little too much.

Oh, BTW, @dutchforn00bs , I've heard many times while searching on the net about dutch that the dutch hate or don't like it when you call the netherlands, holland. Is that true and how did this come about that people called your country holland?

Sorry! I just did the countries I had views and subscribers from at the time :)

@zconey We write China, pronounced (in english) sort of like Sheena :)

Hoi! I can't find Croatia, so I presume it's the same as in German, and that is "Kroatien"? Just starting to learn Dutch, already learned English, Italian, halfway through German. Thanks for your awesome lessons, you make it look super easy! Groeten uit Kroatien!

Yay you did NZ! :D I thought it wasn't going to come up but it did :) so thanks

I see a heart after sweden like

@jlspma We pronounce the combination "NG" like in the english "king" :)

Hello dutchforn00bs :) Thank you so much for all of your videos on youtube. I found them very very useful. I am practising pronounciation and getting familiar with spelling too. You seem like a really clever,funny and interesting person:) Thanks a lot Take care

i've just find out that i am half dutch (sounds strange haha) and as i lived my whole life in sweden i can no dutch at all. so i searched for it and find your videos! brilliant! thank you!! and you seems to like sweden to, there for i comment this video :D

he he, there is no way I'll ever say i'm from the united kingdom in dutch, that is one big mouth full. Schotland will have to do :) keep up the good work, your videos are helping me a lot. thanks

I just found these videos. I'm really liking them. Always wanted to learn Dutch. You're pretty by the way. Lol.

Waar is mijn klein Uruguay? Hehe. Het video was echt leuk! Gefeliciteerd :)

Hey dutchforn00bs. Cool vid. Just a quickie: Estonia in het Nederlands?? Thanks

Thank you! I'm moving to Maastricht for a year shortly, this is very helpful :)

are you swedish (assumed for the heart)? I going for Netherlands for one year and I am Swedish . Is it possible to learn tspeaking Dutch in a year? Learning languages isnt really my strongest subject. :/

You love Sweden:)? I am from there, stockholm:) Just love the dutch language, was in Amsterdam duirng the summer and now I wanna learn more:)

How do you say Israel in Dutch..? thank you !! btw, love your videos - you're awesome :)

Why do you pronounce 'Engeland' like Engeland and not ''Enrreland'' Is this just an exception or are there lots of words where you pronounce the g normally?

tell us about the little heart in zweden ;) hahaha. im from México and i really like your videos! i'm learning a lot! :D

@pinangjawa on my computer it's ", then e, but you can also use alt+0235 (hold alt in this case).

We either say 'Amerika' or 'de VS' (short for Verenigde Staten).

Hoi!! I'm from Hungary but I live in England, I've been learning German at school, have dutch relatives, and think it would be pretty cool to learn dutch, and so for i like it a lot :) how would you say hungary/hungarian (hungarian person) thanks :)

hey can you make a video talking about Dutch cities and their pronunciations? what about the different regions and dialects?

@ilovedisney35 The spelling is "Turkije".. we pronounce 'tur' the same is in 'turkey', the "kije" part is pronounces more or less like "kaya".

@cartografos Oh, the R is pretty difficult if you're not used to it :)

Hoi! i just found this channel a few months ago. And i'm wondering why did you stop posting those video? Cause i find this channel really useful..

@JuistJonatan Bedoel je de 'g' uit Nederland of die uit België? ;)

do u still make videos becuase these ones are long time ago

I don't know how is it possible that in this video you didn't tell Poland. I'm living close to u and u probably know it's a lot of Polish people in Netherland. I like urs videos, u're amazing teacher, cheers

@harboee No, I'm Dutch (see flag. and the language I'm speaking). The heart for Swedish was because I was learning Swedish at the time :D As for learning Dutch in a year.. because Swedish and Dutch are pretty similar, it should be possible to get a good grasp of written Dutch in a couple of months. Learning to speak it, though, is a lot harder. I think if you study really hard, and practice a lot it should be possible to understand&talk to people in a year :)

So let's do this! Rawr. My heart melted.

is ë on the dutch keyboard?

@jlspma Within a word, NG is *always* pronounced as ng in "king", unlike g in English "finger", where you hear a g (voiced k) after the ng sound. If the n is coming from a prefix the g is pronounced separately from the n, like in "ongeveer" (=about).

thnx for the vid, but how do you say hungary in dutch?

@brianvdf Ik snap waar je op doelt, maar ik denk eigenlijk niet dat het veel uit maakt. Het is inderdaad zo dat Nederlanders sommige klanken (die "officieel" één klank zijn) in een tweeklank veranderen (bijv. ee klinkt bijna als eh-ihj, if that makes sense). In het Vlaams gebeurt precies het tegenovergestelde: juist alle klanken (ook de klanken die tweeklanken horen te zijn!) worden éénklankig uitgesproken. Bijvoorbeeld "ij" en "ou" worden "eh" en "oh".

4:06 The r sound? Which is actually the correct pronunciation? I know that people in the west tend to use the r sound you heared here but in the eastern part we pronounce it with your tongue and front teeth

Thank you for all your videos How do you say India?

same as in english

Thank you so much! Very helpful!

Whoooo! Thanks for the heart by Sweden! Vi älskar dig med!

as this vid is old now somebody has probably said this to you before but we do the same with "ë" (plus ï and ö) in english sometimes too, and it has the same function as in dutch. Examples, coöperation, preëxisting, naïve, Noël etc. Both languages got it from french, although in english we have the option of using a hyphen instead aswell to do the same thing, depends on region and personal preference. As you're presenting in english, the end bit is probs not needed, as we already know it.

Please answer what is Wales and Welsh in Dutch? Wales is in the United Kingdom by the way

Thank you, this was helpful! ^^

@Chrisindapurplehouse I know!! I noticed that too!! :D

@annapianist0804 I just did countries that I had subscribers/views from at the time :) It's Albanië.

@xSebzx I know *some* Swedish, because I was learning it for a while.. but I kinda stopped :)

Ik kom uit Mexico en ik hou echt van je video's :) Het is lekker met je lessen nederlands leren! (I still have to improve a lot though...)

though I should add that I'm finding your pronounciation guides quite helpful, as books cannot always do the trick.

Why a

oooh man, this is so lovely and helpful! Ik kom uit Canada, maar, ik woon in Elspeet (near Zwolle) nu! :)

@sangXroyal Servië, is what we call it :D (Not sure why).. Good guess, though!! Everything else is correct :D

There are several correct pronunciations, I made a video about that a while back :)

@dutchforn00bs hahah okay sorry my bad.....for example an english man would say....my friend is english would a dutch person say..... my friend is Dutch? or is there another word?
