1. Series 1 Introduction: It's easy to learn Dutch. All you have to do is memorize this word list and their translations. And you'll be speaking Dutch in no time. Your jokey, right? Or how about this? Just listened to a real Dutch conversation and follow along with the transcripts. Just listen to them over and over and over and over and over. No, no, no, that's not going to work either. How about we try this instead? I'll teach you a few words at a time. Then I'll make sentences using the same words. Lesson. I'll introduce new words by making a new sentence using words we've already learned. That way you'll learn the meanings better and feel more comfortable speaking the language. Hi, my name is Derek, and I've been teaching Dutch since 2016. I am created the series for the real beginner. And by that I mean, I'm going to assume you've never heard a single word dutch before. And these lessons we're going to be learning how to count, how to tell time, talking about the weather. As helpful questions like, what is that? Where is it? And how do you say that in Dutch? And of course, basic readings and common phrases are included. The pronunciation guide can be a little much to take in at first. So I recommend starting with lesson one and actually go through a few lessons and come back and watch the pronunciation videos to help fill in the blanks. If you know some Dutch already, then this will be a good refresher course for you. You may even learn a thing or two You didn't know. Either way, I wish you luck in your ducks learning adventure. I'll be here to offer feedback in the class projects, as well as any questions you might have. See you in lesson one. Four.
2. Pronunciation 1: The Vowels: Pronunciation is essential if you're going to learn a new language. For example, how would you say this word? Oh, wait, I know. At etched in Dutch day. No, actually it's OK. them hard. And that's why we need to learn how to pronounce each letter in Dutch. Today, we'll start with the vowels. First of all, we'll just start with the alphabet so you know how each one of them letters sounds. Then I'll go back and explain each one in more detail. Ah, b, c, d e, f k e k l m n, or a GPU, add S TE j V x a z. The short a in Dutch is pronounced awe, like in cult, where we have just a one syllable word with only 18. In the second word here though. This a is also a short. We know that because we have a vowel, consonant, consonant, vowel. And when you have two consonants in between your first, second.val, it makes the first fell short. Long a is pronounced ah, not like the short, ah, but opening your mouth a little wider to get the sound. Here, the difference, all ah, as in the word man and Mac and, and yeah. Now you'll notice that there are some differences in these words. First of all, we spell the first word with today's, and that always makes a long vowel. And the second word, we have a vowel, consonant, vowel. And if you only have one continent in between your first second vowels, it makes the first one long. And the last word here, the a is at the end of the word, and eval at the end of a word is always long. The short e is pronounced just like the short e in English, like in the word heaven. But you'll notice that the second e is not quite the same. Have been, it's pronounced more like a short you. What's up with that? Well, it falls and an unstressed syllable, so we call it the mute E, even though it's not really muted, but it's pronounced as an sound. So have been, not, have been. The long e follows the same pattern as the long a and is pronounced within a sound, as in the word vacate, invade tin. These two words, however, are a little different. The first word is pronounced aim, like you might expect, but the word without the exit marks is an exception in Dutch. It's pronounced on. And to help you remember, first, we need to know what these words mean. This one is the number one, and this one is the article a. And so you can think of these little accent marks as little slanted ones, if it helps. The short I in Dutch is pronounced like the short IN english, like in the word IQ. But in the second word here, it's pronounced a little differently. The IG is pronounced kinda like an a sound. So this is pronounced stuck, going to stuff. Along I spelled I0 is pronounced ee, like in the word neat. But in the second word here, when you have an AAA right before the IE, it makes the IEEE have a little bit of a different sound. It's more likely yet. So this word is pronounced dragon. Dragon. The short o is rounded a bit more than it isn't English. We pronounce it as an all sound instead of an ah, sound. Like in the word Copia. Copia, belong, oh, sounds like old and rounded, even more so than the short o. And it also follows the same pattern as the long a and along e, like in goals and low open. The short u is also around it a bit more than the short u in English, like in the word bus. Not bus, but boosts. The long u is pronounced quite a bit differently than it isn't English. It's an ear sound instead of an oo sound, like in and outta. The why can be pronounced as a short I like in symphony, or as a along I like in C steam, or as a consonant as in the word low Yao. Bij blend is quite different than anything we haven't English. At first you may think you're hearing a long I sound, or perhaps a long a sound. But it's really found somewhere in between. The sound you're looking for is an a sound, not a knot. I get a mike in the word Bay. The IJ used to be considered one letter, so you may still find it with both of the letters capitalised in some situations, like as the beginning of a sentence or is someone's name. There are a couple of exceptions where the i j pronunciation and the first word here, the IJ is pronounced more like an e sound. So this is pronounced me zone data. And the LA JK ending is pronounced like the English word luck. So this is pronounced McCulloch, Visa, Wanda, and McCulloch. The EI blend sounds just like the IJ blend, like in the word may xia, mesa. Even though these two develop lens sound alike, they're considered different length vowels. Vi is considered the short a, and the IJ is considered the long I. Also, these are two different words. The short a is an egg, and the along a is a body of water. In the Netherlands. The IOU and the AU make an owl sound like in Yao and Blau. The UI blend is considered by many to be one of the hardest vowels to master. It's pronounced like in the word has not house but hes. Here's another fun fact, is the word for onion. The EU blend is also kind of a hard one. It's pronounced a as in lake. Lake. The OE is super easy, just like the oo sound in English. Like in dune. Be OI is also very easy, as in the word holy. Holy. The EU blend is pronounced oo, like in Leo and Leo, when the EU blend is pronounced, you like in the word nous. So a few of the vowels satellites into any English, but most of them are quite different. If your goal is to sell in conduction native, then I recommend getting a voice recorder. Most cell phones already haven't voice recording app. So you can use that as well. Start by listening to each of the words and then try to mimic the same sound. Then you can play it back and see how well you're doing. Keep in mind there are different dialects in Dutch, as well as many accents in between. Not everyone is going to talk just like I do in this video. And not everyone follows the exact same pronunciation. That's all for the vowels. Consonants are up next. Poked holes in the good rules.
3. Pronunciation 2: The Consonants: Just like the vowels, some of the consonants cell if they do any English, and some of them require a little more practice. Today we're going to finish up our essential pronunciation guide. B is pronounced just like it isn't English, like in bed. But when it's on the end of a word, it's pronounced like a T-H sound. As in club. Just like the C in English, a C and Dutch can be pronounced as both an S or a K sound, as in see-through or cafe. The d is just like it is in English, like in the word dose. But if it falls on the end of a word, it becomes a t sound. So this is pronounced met. The F sounds just like it does in English, like in feign. The G is quite different than anything we have in English. It's more like a rough H sound. And what you want to do is tighten the muscles in the back of your throat until you get a sort of sound like in the word QUT, hoot. Some of the Dutch boy pronounced that as a kind of a soft sound, and some of them are very rough sound. The second word here though, is a little different. The NG is pronounced as an, as an English, except sometimes in English we pronounce an NG sound with kind of a hard G. You might say this word, zinc gun, but you don't want to do that. You want to pronounce it. Zing. Zing on Zyklon. B. H can sound a little different depending on what it's blended with. In the first word here. It's just like the ancient English. So this is hoot, not QUT, This is not the Dutch. Gee, it's just a regular H, So no rough sound. Hoot. And then in the second word here, the CH is pronounced like the SH in English. So this is pronounced shock alotta. But in this world where the CH is not on the beginning, it's pronounced Boynton, Dutch G. So we say this one licked the SCA, which is like an S and a G sound mixed together. So this is pronounced coal. Coal. And this word, the h is actually silent when a th blend. So this is pronounced during data. And in the last word here, the ISC H sounds like an EBS sounded 0s. So you're going to say this one, fantasies From capacities. So hoot, Chaka, Ladder, Lift, hole drilled into frontispiece. The j here in this word is pronounced just like the English. Why? So, yeah. But in the second word here, it's blended with an S. And S j sound is pronounced like an SSH in English. So this is pronounced Masha. Tha t j is pronounced just like a CH in English. So this is Bei Zhao. Not bait. You don't want the T there anymore. You just want Bay chow? Yeah, Masha, bait, jet. The K sounds just like it does in English, like in the word Copia. But the KN blend, we pronounce both the K and the n. So this is Kony. Can eat the L, M, N, and P. All sound just like they do in English. Mike and no pun, mass, nay, and pen. The queue is usually one div with a U and pronounced as a KW sound. Like in Questa. Some people in the Netherlands pronounce the r as just an English are, and some of them add a rolling sound to it, a sound. If you do it that way, you don't want to put too much of a role on it. Like in this word, you would pronounce that data and not. But just not everyone can make that rolling sound and that's okay. The are also makes the Double E almost like an English double E. Instead of vague layer or vague. You'll hear we're or v it. Except for the other blends that contain the letter S that we already talked about, it sounds just like it doesn't English like in the word stop. Most of the time the tea works just like it does in English, like in the word TOFEL. But here the t sound is just like a ts sound. So this should be c. Mackenzie, movie, I'm a beginning of a word is pronounced more like an F, Mike in feel. And in the middle of a word, it sounds just like a V, like in z even. And some of the Dutch accents, when an L comes after a double E, you might hear it pronounced as an e sound and instead of an a sound. So instead of fail, you will get feel. In English when we pronounce a w, We around our lips quite a bit. Well, what about the Dutch? Don't do this. They relax their lips a bit more and you're supposed to put the bottom lip on the bottom row, your teeth when you pronounce the w, which usually produces a V sowed. So I normally teach that on the beginning of a word. A w makes a v sound as in VAD. But when you have a w in the middle of a word, it's really hard to pronounce a T and a V sound. So I only teach that if it's in the middle of the word that you want to just pronounce it as a w. Just remember to relax your lips and saying Twain, not 2-way, but tray. The x and Dutch is similar to it as an English. A KS sound like in external. But in this word, instead of pronouncing the Explore like a z like we do in english, they still pronounce it as a KS sound. So this is siloed phone. Telephone. The z is pronounced just like it is in English, like in z, even. Although some of the Dutch people may pronounce it more like an S. Like I said in the vowels video, I still recommend getting yourself a voice recorder and that way you can get your dutch exit into adult devolve into k. It.
4. Lesson 1: What are you?: Opinion, Yeoman, India and measure. What is he talking about? Well, don't worry, at the end of this lesson, you'll know exactly what I just said. And I'm going to pretty much assume you've never heard a single word of Dutch before in your life. These lessons are meant to be super easy. You don't even have to watch the pronunciation videos because I'm going to show you that to welcome too easy done 101. First we're going to learn just to easy words. They're really easy to say and really easy to remember since they are two of the most common words in Dutch. Now this is pronounced it, Ben. Ben. Pronounce pretty much the same way it looks. And this means I am. And this is pronounced, yeah, vents. Pay attention to this j here. It's pronounced just like the English. Why? This easier is pronounced English-like and the bent is pronounced just like the English word bent. Yep, beds. This means you are. A lot of times in English we actually say Yeah, when we actually mean you, like, what are you doing here? How I said that? What are you doing instead of water you doing? So that makes this pretty easy to remember. Yeah, vents. Normally in Dutch or announced a double E as an a sound, but not in this word. This word is pronounced a little differently because it's an exception. This word is pronounced and just like the prefix on that we have in English, so pronounce it just like that on. And this word means a just like a cat or a dog. Now let me show you the opposite of a. Remember a minute ago I said the Double E is usually pronounced as an a sound. Well, that's how it's going to work in this word. This is pronounced Shane. Hey, you'll probably notice right away that, that G is quite different than the one we have an English. It's not a gut or a just sound, but it's a sounds kind of like a rough h. And what you wanna do is narrow the passage way in the back of your throat just a little bit. Now when you first start to practice this sound, you're probably going to use way too much air. That's okay. You gotta start somewhere. So you're probably going to sound like when you first say this, it does take a Rawlsian master that sound. So you'll want to start practicing it right away. Just two more words to learn and then we'll make some sentences. Remember how I said the DJ is pronounced like a y sound. So this says pronounced young men. Young men. But now you've made these saying, wait a second. Didn't you just teach that the g as Monica rough H, shouldn't this be pronounced? You'll not in this case, the end g here is just like the Z in English. Young men. Young men. And this means Moyne, betcha can't get them next week we're going to learn. Here's a hint, we Mendeley opposites. Now this word is pronounced mesa may share. Notice that the j here is quite a bit different than the one I said before. That's because it's part of the SJ blend. And the SJ blend is just like the SH, Moorish. So may share. This word means girl. Now let me talk about this. A sound for just a second. You get your long a in English here, and you're along I in English. And that EI sound is right there in the middle. We don't have this vowel sound in English, but listen closely. A, hey, I heard your first period is sounds like it's a maybe, it's a maybe an, I'm not really sure. That's because it's inbetween. So I refer to these kind of sounds as the in-between vowel sounds. Well now we know enough to make our first two sentences. Ok, so let's do a quick review on these words. Bin means I am on means a, and you'll then means boy. So this says I am a boy. Now to change this to, I am a girl, you would just remove the Yeoman and replace it with mesa. And there we go. Now this is I M a girl. Pretty easy right? Then. An Mattea. Well, I'm clearly not, but that's how you would say it if you're a girl. And if I wanted to say you are a boy or you are a girl, I just changed that. It's been bent like this. Here we go. This is how you would say you are a boy. Yeah. Bent on. Yeoman. But hold on. I asked them questions back in the beginning. Let's see those again, right quick. Bunia and yeoman vignette in nature. They sound pretty similar, but their questions, and this is not a question. So to change this into a question, I just changed the order of the first two words like this. Take the bends. And put it over here. Now, when I ask you a question in Dutch, we dropped the T off the end of the word and so it just becomes Vin. And then just take the Yep, bring it over here on the colon. And there we go. The first question I asked was then, yeah, you'll then I've met by now. You've figured out what the second question was? That's right. The second question I asked was vignette and Masha, Are you a girl? Alright, now we've learned how to ask the questions. Let's learn how to answer them. Now, if someone said to me, I could say it been annyeong and what I would like to say, yes, I am a boy. So let's learn a couple of other words that we can add to the beginning of these sentences make him sound a little better. Here we go to small words. Now the a here is pronounced as an sound normally in Dutch, when you see a single a by itself, it's pronounced as an ah sound. But here, this is on the end of a word. And usually when you find an a on the end of a word, it becomes a, along a and along a in Dutch is pronounced. Here. The difference, really to make the sound, you just open your mouth a little wider and you got it. So this word is yeah. Yeah. Means yes. In this word is pronounced nay. Here home saying that a I'm not saying I'm saying a name. So if someone asks me if I'm a boy and I wanted to see, I guess I am a boy. So yeah, this is pretty easy. Yeah. It then an Yeoman. All we did was add the to the beginning of a sentence. Pretty easy, right? Well, if someone asks me if I'm a girl, then I want to say no, I'm not a girl. Right? So let's see how to say that right quick. There we go. If someone comes to me and says venue, Masha, then I say, Ni Ren, chain may share. Remember, chain means not a. Yes, this actually means both of those words right there. How about this? Someone comes to me and says, been Yeoman. But I'm a little older than a boy, so I wanna say that I'm a man. It's pretty easy to do that too much. This here we go. This is how to say, I am a man. It been an mn, mn. Your habits an R sound. Not like the sound we practice when we say ya, but an aw sound and this is the short a. So then I'm Mung free ladies out there, you're going to want to say that I am a woman, right? Pretty easy to do. And the works for woman is tau. Tau. So the V here is still a v sound, but it's not a very strong v. It's closer to the f here, how a, F is a and the v is. But you want to get kind of in-between that. So instead of Frau or brough, you just wanna go row. I also wanted to practice our ours was a bit of a role on them if he can't. So Jiao Zhao, You don't want to roll your r's so much that it becomes editor. Sound walk through several r's in there. But you want to get just a tiny bit of a role. So Minya in Yeoman vignette and Masha or the young lung or had been anthro. It's okay if you don't completely understand just yet. Sometimes we don't really understand on the first try of something new. So given a little while and try watching this video again. If you did understand everything in this video, then congratulations on learning your first words in even sentences and Dutch. Until next time, Dr. Volkov, Nokia.
5. Lesson 2: What is that?: Valtis, get Volcker stopped. Two more questions we're going to learn how to answer today on easy Dutch one-to-one vault. The W here makes a v sound. The a is just like the short a we learned before, so it's an all wrought. And this means what? Default is dydt. Now this is just like the English word is, except we pronounce it with an S sound, not with a z sound like we usually do in English. So I'm not in dict means this. So let says, what is this? What is dot? Is dot. And that simply means, what is that? So if someone comes up to you and says voltage or voltage dots, how would you answer them? You would start off by saying dot and then whatever the word is. So if someone says what does did or Valtis dot, and I see this, then I will say dumped guts. Cots means cat. But if someone says voltage, and I see this, then I would say dot is. Holmes means dog. The D on the end of a word in Dutch is always pronounced as a T sound. So not home, but homed. Remember last lesson, we talked about Yeoman in Mesa. So if someone says, what is that? And I see a boy that I can say dot is simple as that. Or if it's a girl, I can say the same thing with Martin and Raul. Voltage dit, dit is an N. N sounds just exactly the same in Dutch as it does in English. It is unpin. Now, I don't wanna say dot is unbind necessarily because I'm holding in my hand right now. I should say the word for this. And I was laying on the table across the room. Then I would say is unpin. Let's try a short exercise. I'm going to ask Valtis dot. And something will appear here on the board. And then you will say dots is on. And whatever the word is. Voltage dot, dot is an Yeoman. Vectors dot, dot is an Masha, ruckus dot. Dot is an HMD. Rotis dot. Dots is uncut. Dot. Dot is an pen. Okay, now let's try it a little bit of a different way. I'm going to ask is dot on and then I'll have a word and an image on the board. And you say either Yang or name. It's going to be pretty easy. Okay, here we go. The first one is stopped and got nate is stopped and got Nate is stopped and got yeah. What about this one is stopped. Ernie Yeoman is dot Ernie Yeoman. Nate is dot un Yeoman. Yeah. One more. Is an pen. Is a pen. Name. Is Dots, an Penn. Yeah. We're gonna do it again, but a little bit differently this time. So instead of just yes or no, let's make a complete sentence out of it. If I said is an Mattea. Well it is. So we would say yeah, dot is Mesa. And if I say is unmade and it's clearly not, then we need to say, remember how to say not a Fi dot is chainmail. Okay, here we go. First one is dot and cots. Doctors have gods. What about this one? Is Docs uncut? Name. Got to feign guts is an Aeolian deltas cranial man. What about fat? Is dot, dot, dot. So Yeoman is unharmed. Yeah. Doctors and homes is dot unharmed. Name not as chain hold. Here's a tricky one. Ben, among M, a man. And the answer of course would be, yeah, it been among vaunted, been yea. Here's a new word. Yea actually translates to you. Now, we could also say, what vignette. We'd do this quite a bit in English also, though we don't have a yeah, in the written language. We do use it a lot. What are you doing or how are yet? It's just a simpler way of saying it. But yet I can always replace yay. The i j here is just like the EIN Mesha. Yea, may shed. And in case you haven't figured it out yet, this means, what are you hoping? That's all for today's lesson? Talked to authenticate.
6. Lesson 3: Where is it?: Obviously, I have a pin and a cup in my hand. Hey, where's my pen? Hey, where's my cup? Today we're going to talk about where things are on easy Dutch one-to-one. Didn't. Last lesson we talked about vault is stopped. What is that? Well, today we're gonna take a look at Ziad VAD is dot. That means where the W is just like the V, like in volts. But the double a here is long, so it's an and not an, ah, so VAD and not VOD. And remember to roll the R If he can just a little bit. That is dots. We can also say VAD is, hit. Het has more than one meaning, but in this case, it means it. So where is it? That asset? Like I said, het has more than one meaning? It also means V. And we have another word that means v. This is pronounced duh, duh, N_hat. Now you can't just use whichever word you want to use for the, you have to use it based on what word is after it. So here we have depth ten. Remember pen from last lesson. And Yeoman is also a Dutch word. So the Yeoman Masha is a het word. Het Masha. The dose. The dose. The o here is a long o and along o and Dutch is old and not boo. So did dose means the box. The Tafel, the TOEFL, the a here is a long. And that's because we've got a vowel, consonant, vowel. If there were two consonants here in between, then the a would be short. And this means the table. Now this is a short o. Notice there's two consonants before the next vowel. A short ON Dutch though, is not an O sound and not an aw sound either. But kind of in-between Copia, 00, not o, but all Copia. And this means the cut. Now, if I wanted to say, Where is the pin? Then I would say VAD is depend. Remember the is, is an S sound and a z sound. So S AND NOT is so far is depend. He had he, it is depend. And of course this means here, just like it sounds. Or if the pen is across the room, I can say is depend. And this means there. Ok, so let's say the pen is on the table. Ok, here we go. Depend, lift up the Tafel. Lift. That means is that we just talked about, is meaning is. When I said here is to Penn and dad is to pin. So what's up with this new word? Lift means lays. So this really says the pen lays on the table. But why use lay? Why not use is, well, when the Dutch talk about something laying on a table or on another object or another object. They normally use a position watered like liaise or stands or sits. Okay, so check this out. Hit Copia, stat. The Tafel. This word means stands or is standing. So the cup stands on the table. And in case you haven't figured it out just yet means on hit Copia, stat, open detachable, doubles stat to TOFEL. There is a time when you wouldn't say the dose lit up the Tafel, you would use lift if the box was turned on its side or it fell on the table and wasn't placed there by someone. So the box stands on the table and the cup stands on the table. But the pen lays on the table. What if the pin is inside the box? Hm, Dip Pen zipped into dose. Zipped is the word for sit or is sitting. So if the pin is in the box, then it sits in the box. Even if it's laying like this or standing like that. Same thing with hit Copia. If the cup is in the box, then it sits in the box. So usually when you say something is in something, you use zip. Let's say the box falls off the table and now it's laying on the floor. It's still near the table or by the table. So we would use the word May. Remember it may shed and yea, the, a sound is the same way here. So bay. And this just means buy or near. So did dose lift by the Tafel. So this just means the boxes Lane by the table. Since by and may sound so much alike, makes it easier to remember. Now someone walks by an accidently, kicks the box and it goes under the table. We say Knidos linked own their own data, the Tafel. This is a short o here. It sounds like almost like a long oh, but it's really not. Older. Sounds a lot like the word under, which is exactly what it means. So this says the box is laying under the table. So here we have the Tafel. Did DOS, hit Copia and depend. Vad is Noodles. The doors opened a tuple. That is depend, depend. Lift will detachable. Vad is Copia, hit Copia, stat, hope to Tafel. Now, VAD is adults. Did dose lift the Tafel. That is the dose. The dose start owned. The Tafel. Vad is depend depend zip in hit Copia. Had Copia visit in the dose. So that's pretty easy, right? But what if we wanted to say, the pen and the cup are in the box? This word means in. It's pronounced n, pretty much like the letter in. But make sure you get a short e on there. So N depend n had Copia zip done. In this case we have the pen and the cup. So they are both sitting in the box. So you use zip button when you mean more than one is sitting in the box. So you tell someone where the pin is and they say, well, what about the cup? The cup is also in the box. So you can say this hip cool, yet zipped. Ok, into dose. Ok. means also. You can also use it like this. Hit Copia zipped into dose, OK. You can put your OK here or here. It when it's here, it's more like it means the word to in English. Well, for the box and the cup, we use, start when we're talking about them individually. But if we want to say the box and the cup are on the table, we use the word Stan. Just like zip goes with xi2. Stat goes with Stan. And this is how you say more than one item are standing on the table. So did dose and hit Copia stun the Tafel. Now though we could say that the boxes standing under the table, we found it laying over on its side so it probably fell there, we don't know. So in that case we can use lifo for Knidos. So depend n the dose LeCun on their Tafel. If you wanted to say, Where are the pen and the cup, then you would say it like this. That Zang depend in hit Copia. Zane, in this case means r. It does have more than one meaning. And we'll talk about those as we come to them. Ok, so I want to say that the pin and the cup on the table. But hang on. How do I say that? Because depend, lift and had Copia stat. So which word do I use? One way we could do it is to say depend and head Copia, Zane, up to Tafel. In this case, you can use Zane. But if you want to use one of the other words, you can use Stan or Ethan. Or we could simply say they are on the table. The stand of the Tafel, d means they. And in this case, you would be stressing the word vey like this. If someone had some red pens and some blue pins, the red pens are on the table, but the blue pens or not. And someone says, Where are the red pens? In this case, you would use the word di because you're stressing they are on the table. If you're not really stressing the word vey, Then there's a different word we can use for this. In that case, we can use the word zip, zip, stun up to topple. And you would use this if someone said, where are the pins? Pins and general, not red or blue or green or big or small, but just where the pins, and in that case, you would use z in place of B. I also need to point out that although XP will work for objects such as pens and cups, as well as people, DIE will not work for people. We have to use a different word for this. And this word is pronounced Xa. Xa. So xA, Stan off the baffle would be how you would say it if there were people on the table. So D Stan up to Tafel is used when you're talking about objects such as pens are cups. Xj is used if you're talking about people being on the table and you want to use they. And z will work for either one. But in an unstressed form, when someone says VAD is head Copia, you might not want to say hit copious dot of the topple. You might just want to say, it is on the table instead of the cup is on the table. If you guessed het being the word to use for it, then you're right. Hit stat to Tafel. And likewise, when someone says VAD is depend and you just want to say it is on the table. Here we go. Hey, lift up to Tafel. Hey, but we just sit and het means it. Well, in this case, we're talking about DEP pen and the pen as a DO word. Anytime you have a downward and you want to talk about it, you can't use het may be used. Hey, and in this case, hey means it, but it can also mean heat. Feel free to watch this video again if you need to, because there are quite a few more words in this lesson than there were in the last two. But until next time, don't devolve into key ID.
7. Lesson 4: Basic Greetings: Boy who isn't modality, you go again, telling them stuff before you even teach it to them. Sorry. But I am going to tell you what these words mean today. And today we're gonna talk about readings, saying high power you good day, things like that. And we'll also talk about good-bye. Okay, so the first word today is and it's simply means pi. Here we have the word hello. Hello. And like it sounds, it means hello. Here we have who got it? Who? Like the boo in English? Who? Who hat? Remember the G gets that course. H, sound. Hats, UX, hot heads. This is one of the most commonly is of saying How are you in Dutch. But it literally translates to how goes it. Someone says, we'll context. And I want to say that I'm fine or good. I can say QUT, hoot. And if I'm not doing so well, I can say neat hoops. Neat. Neat is the word for not. Now, don't confuse this with the wording chain, which means not a that's used in a different way. If I was saying Not a good time, then I would use chain because chain would refer to time and not the fact that whether it's good or not. And here's the sentence from the beginning of the lesson. Who else had met Yao? Now he said that this means how, you know, is in heads. But these two words are new to you. Met means with and Yao is another word for you. Only this one can't be used with Yea. Well, let me show you right quick how to figure out which one of those two use the Yj or the Yael. Okay, so I put all of this up here in English, except for Dutch words yea and yell. If you say, how is it with you? And you want to figure out whether to use yea or yell here, then this is what you do. How is it with he or she? How is it how is it with she know those don't sound right. How is it with him or how is it with her? Those work. So the word we want to use there would be yell. I should also point out that the word, Yeah, we'll work for either one of these. So you can say, who is heads? If you would like to do that too. Now whenever we have a T and a j blend together, if it's in a word, it's automatically a CH blend. But most of the time and Dutch, when you have a TMJ E1 and separate words like this, you will get a CH sound here too. So instead of WHO S, heck, yeah, you will hear who is set. Or in the case with Yao. You will hear Hou Zhao. Just like I said in the beginning of the lesson, WHO S in the gel? Now let's say someone comes up to me and says, well, I would like to say, good. Nu, I would say it like this. Close. Nba, hoot. And yea. I probably could use the word yet here if I wanted to. But I think it sounds a little better if I say quotes MBA because I'm sort of stressing the word you a little more. And when you're going to stress the word you for some reason or another, then you'll want to use yea instead of yet. Duck. Duck, sometimes even pronounced DAC and spelled with two a's. This word literally means day, but they use this for a greeting and I goodbye. So doc can mean high or buy. In here we have three more ways of saying By, and this is not all of them of course, but three of the most common ones anyway. Here we have Dewey. Dewey taught, Lasser, took lambda and z means. Z means now that's o as a short. Oh, it probably sounds like I'm rounding it quite a bit and making it along o, but it's really short. And not tote, not taught either. Top scenes. Top latter. Take the word, put an e to it. And then we can say, put a warhead. More fame. Who the more one? This means, Good morning. My dad. Could that made this means Good afternoon. For the next two. We're going to add an end to the Buddha and then cool them. Apple. Couldn't remember to pronounce the d like a t because it's on the end of a word. And the DOE, and the reward is always pronounced as a T cell. This means Good evening. And here we have closed-ended. Could Linda, for good day, could have knocked. Who do not. And this means good evening or good night. But it's actually used most of the time for a greeting and not a goodbye. If you want to say goodbye as in good night, then it's a totally different word altogether. And this is kind of a big word. But it's not really that hard if you break it down. They'll dare. Bruce den felt that are stem. And this means good night, good night and see you later. I should also point out that these are all words the.me the day. The more hidden in Auckland. These both mean mourning, but more often is also used for tomorrow. But usually you don't hear who didn't often. You hear who the morphogen instead, a little strange, but it's ALI Do it. Murdoch means the afternoon and the evening and did not. The night. Now, told latter literally means until later. You can also say taught more Hutton talks more than four until tomorrow. Since I taught you tomorrow, I might as will teach you today as well. This is pronounced formed from doc. So you could greet someone by simply saying, boy, who had met Zhao phone that remember the T and the J get a CH sound. You don't have to do that. But it's good that you know it in case someone says to you, boy, who hasn't met shelf and back. Hi, how is it with you today? Toward the end of the lesson, I usually put this on the board, took devotion to care. But what does this mean exactly anyway, taught, that's until V. You already know that Vulcan dot Volkan, that means next, as in next in line, or the next time, but not next to someone or next to something. That's a different word. In care is a word that means time. So Vulcan McCann means until then. And in case you're going to watch the next lesson tomorrow, don't molten.
8. Lesson 5: Common Phrases: In the last lesson, we talked about readings saying hi and how are you, things of that sort? Today we're gonna talk about some more greetings as well as some useful common words and phrases like please and thank you. And how do you say that in Dutch today on easy Dutch 101. If you remember from last lesson, we talked about words beginning with cuda. And who didn't like cuda, Morgan and hood and novels. Now there's another way that we could say these. We don't usually find it in written Dutch, but we do have it a lot in spoken Dutch. So what we're going to do here is changed to an I. And if there isn't in, just get rid of it. And now the word is pronounced with a Y sound right here. Uh, yes sound. So who, who yet? So there we go. All of these can now be pronounced hu yet, doc, Julio. Julio Madonna, who haven't and who he had knocked. Remember your D on the end of a word is pronounced like a T-H. We talked about in the last lesson. But there is also high said just like the High in English. As well as, hey, just like the hay in English, except it's got an accent mark over the E and know why. So high and hate are all just as common. Remember, who had Ted? How goes it? Well, there are different ways to answer this besides what we talked about in the last lesson. You could say, head hot. It's going well, or it's going good. You can also say, MIT may cut all this hoots. May is the word for me. You can also say met. Had all this. Remember how EIA has an unstressed form which is yet, and Xj has an unstressed form called z. Well, the same thing applies here is the unstressed form of may. You can also leave off the hat if you wanted to and just say mid May all this. What's another way of saying how is everything? Is simply, Alice hoots, everything good? And you can answer with the exact same sentence. Just replace the question mark. Obvious hood. Everything's good. This word is pronounced all Chibli, all show leaf. And this word actually has two different meanings. It can mean here you go, or where you are. Like I'm giving someone something or it can mean the word, please. So if I said to someone, may I please have a pen? I would say may I have a pen? And then all should lift. And then they would see all Chablis and give me the pen. Now there's a different way to say this. All shipped believed is fine if you're talking to your friends. But if you're talking to your teacher or the President or the King, then you want to change that Jamie to CU and pronounce it all Steve leafed pulse tube. And this is just a more polite way of saying please or you are. And after I say please and someone hands me the pen, I can say, but don't be dumped. And this simply means fakes. So two other ways of saying thank you. Yep. And donc UI. The UI here is not like the double o in English. You don't want to say dong guh and you don't want to say dumped. You either. You wanna say Dong Wu. Now the word here is a more polite form of the word you. So you can replace yet or yj with food. And if you wanted to say thank you very much, then he would just add the word vel, vel to either one of these sentences. Donkey Bell or dunk, ooh, Bel. Here's a good way to practice your Gs. This is pronounced crack. Crack. Literally this means gladly done, but this is how the Dutch say, you're welcome. So this is pronounced who hate yea? Who hate yea? And it means what is your name? And you can answer this by saying hate and your name. Hate. You could also say volt HER MOM vault IS Yao. What is your name? And you could answer it like this. Mang naam is and your name. Pretty symbol. If you want to say that you like something, you say it like this. It vent, head, lick, lick. The EU blender as kind of a hard one to pronounce. But it's an sound lick, literally this translates to, I find it fun. And live can actually mean more than just fun. It can also mean funny or nice, has a few different meanings. If I wanted to say, I don't like something, then I would put the word neat URL right here. Remember neat means not so big, vented, neat lick. Meaning I don't like it. Or I find it not fun. Igf-1 don't need leg. You can say this. If you know something, vacate heads. Heads simply means, I know it's not the same as I know someone. That's a different word. But if you know something, you say it made it. If you don't know something, then you simply put the word neat at the end of the sentence, like so. And now it becomes thick base hit and eat. Or big baits needs eight basic needs. Another common phrase would be, who lacked is heads, who lat is hat? This literally means how late is it? In English we would say, what time is it? And there's a lesson coming up on how to tell time. Here's another sentence you'll hear quite a bit. What IS hit? What does advance? And that means what is the weather? You can also replace the lots with who? Who is it rare? So what is the weather or how is the weather? Either one is okay. And there's a lesson coming up on whether as well. So you're talking to a Dutch person, but you don't know how to say the object you're looking at or the word you're trying to figure out. A lot of them speak English anyway, and we'll be glad to help you on your ducks learning. So one good sentence you could say is x_k yet dots in head nadir loans. Which means, how do you say that in Dutch? Who has x_k, he adopts in hit neither lots. Okay, so we've gone over some more greetings and a lots of common phrases. And of course there are lots of other common phrases. And we'll be adding a few of those as we go along from here on out.
9. Listening Training 1: Even if someone is talking to you using only the words we learned in the last few lessons. It can still sound like, ya know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, but never got the Copyblogger blog. So we need to start learning how to listen very carefully. There are all kinds of new words, new phrases, combination of words that we don't have any English. I have tailored this listening exercise specifically for lessons one through five. So we'll only be using words for those lessons. So the way this exercise is going to work, as you'll hear a conversation between me and my twin. You'll hear it first without subtitles, then again with Dutch subtitles, and then a third time with both Dutch and English subtitles. And that way you can see just how well you're doing and you're listening. Clear Moorhead, who isn't Macau Could NEA Allah's hoods. That is to do some elevated needs. I start under the Tafel. Vad is depend here. Pin has it in whose a kitten in a nadir lungs. Head Copia. Yeah. That's who said, Hey, sit in it Copia. I'll Chablis. Don't give l dot laughter. Okay, that seems boy, clear Moorhead who isn't Macau Could NEA AS hoods. Equated needs. I start under the Tafel. Vad is depend here is to pin has it in jose kidded in a nadir loans head Copia. Yeah. Data said, Hey, sit in it Copia. I'll Chablis. Don't give l dot laughter. Okay, dope scenes. Boy, clear Moorhead, who isn't Macau Could NEA Alice hoods is to do some elevated needs. I start under the Tafel. Vad is depend here. Pin has it in jose kidded in a nadir loans head Copia. Yeah. That's who said, Hey, sit in it Copia. I'll she believed donkey Val. Hi, hidden dot, latter. Okay. Not scenes. So how did you do if you understood every word, then great, you're ducks listening, ears are up to par. If not, that's okay because not everyone gets it right the first time. After less than ten, we'll have another one of these Dutch listening exercises only it'll be over Lessons one through ten. And then after less than 15 and after less than 20 and so on and so forth. That's all for today. Doped evolves into kid.
10. Lesson 6: How many are there?: You already learned the cup and the pen. And the pen is in the cup, right? Well, what about now? What about now? How do we say how many are there and how do we answer that? Well, today we're going to learn just that as well as how to count from one to ten in Dutch. Woo veil nail. This means how much for how many? And this is how you would say how many are there will avail. Zane? Add. Okay, so before we can answer how many, we need to know how to turn all these words into plurals. Yeoman becomes, Yeoman. Masha becomes mesh is MM, becomes manduneun. Vow becomes Rowen. Gut becomes cotton. Owned, becomes Holden. Ben is kinda like Manen. So it just gets the NBN. So Bandmann copious dose is quite a bit different when you convert it to plural. Those on not doesn't Dawson. And then Tafel just becomes defiles. Now if you remember our and het words, you know that most of these words normally get a dull. But there are a couple of them that get het. Masha and Copia both get het. But when they're plurals, they get done. So that meshes and copious. All of these actually get done. Whether they have a head normally or not. As soon as you make them plural, they get done. And this is how you would say, how many pins are there? Who will ban none? Zane air. Air is a special word and as few letters as ad has, it has a lot of meanings. In this case, we could translate this word to there because we're saying how many pins are there. So before we go any further, let's go ahead and learn all of the numbers between 110. Now you're probably thinking, wait a minute, this looks a lot like the word that we learned before. But what these little accent marks that means through word is now pronounced aim with an, a sound. And one way to remember that is think of a little accent marks as little slanted ones may sound a little silly, but whatever works, SVA, SVA, delete, delete via, via. Remember how the IJ is pronounced a. So this is VIF. They've zs, zs, xj, xj event. The CH here is pronounced a lot like the Dutch G. So oft, oft, speaking of the G, Nathan, Nathan. And finally team. Team. If you want to say that there are two pins, you say it like this. It Zain, Zain, straight pin, pin, Zane air and survey, Devi and Zayn degree. And then who avail? Copious, Zane ad. Space debris. Read v_a and saying veil, copious. Who avail Compton Zane ad. It's me. Delete v and v. Z S Zain. Zain, Zain even gotten OK. How about how many pins are in the box? Now remember how we use zip done whenever we're talking about something sitting inside something else. Who avail pennant, zip done in bundles. We actually do need this word here. It may sound okay in English to say how many pins are in the box without adding the word there. But the Dutch fueled and need to add this word in. So to them it sounds more natural. Who veil, pen, none, zipped and add in the dos. V, three VA, zs, zeta ofs t. So there are ten pens and the box add zip done, team pen, none in the adults. And it is often deemed Bingen in adults. Okay, so now you know how to say how many are there and how to answer it, as well as how to count from one to ten. Stay tuned for the next lesson. We're going to count even higher TO devolve into care.
11. Lesson 7: How old are you?: Welcome to lesson seven. Now, we talked about before and means near or by. But in this case it actually means the same as welcome too. So they'll Golden Bay less Zeynep. Welcome to lesson seven. Today we're going to count much higher than ten. And we're gonna talk about how old you are and how to ask someone else they are. Who out spin yea, who outs? Ben, yea. You can also say, who out. Yet. We want them to be more polite. We say who out, bent. Remember the Ben will get a T in this case. Who out to Benjamin for how old are you? Remember before we talked about the word Hey, meaning he. So if you wanted to ask, how old is he, you would say, Who out is hey, who out is hey, the same thing with x0. We just change this to Xj. And now that's how all this sheep who out is xA. Now, let's learn some more numbers. L. L, which means 1112 trout. You can also say It's file if almost like there's an extra vowel in between the L and the F. Triumph. Directing, dedicating 1515. This is not like the word via, because it's a double E here. The r and makes it a little longer. Not via, But not vaporware either. They're keen. From 15 to 19 is pretty easy. You just take the number plus team and put them together. So they've team x_ steam, xa1 team, team, and Nathan deem pretty simple. The rest of the numbers from here on out are pretty easy to remember. It follows the same pattern. Here we've see trend to spin. Ig here is pronounced like and sound like a U, h. But remember that g is pronounced with that little bit of a coarse sound. So most of the numbers from hereon out have an IG ending. If I wanted to say 21, this is how I would say it. Now, this word looks kind of difficult, but it's actually three different words put together. And if I put some little lines here, you can see where they separate. This is a1 and spent 120. If I wanted to say 22, then I would say today and two into three into, into 4220. Notice I also put a couple of dots over the top of that e right there. That's because we've got 2i is here. And then another E. So we need to know where the vowel sound starts. And we knew that by putting these two old dots called a diary thesis on top of that e. So that way we know where this vowel sound ends and where this one begins. Because this is all one word and you're not gonna see the separation bars in there all the time. And spent for 22. The same thing would apply to 23 degree into penta. Notice here there's another vowel sound, the I0. So we need to make sure that we separate this vowel sound from this vowel sound. So the diaries, as it needs to be here as well. We're going to go ahead and skip to 30 and on now and we'll come back and do some more examples to make sure you got it. 30 is delta. Delta. Just like vaccine. Vector also has a double E into 50 is Vedanta. Vedanta z, z zeta, zeta. And talk the talk. So notice there's a T on the front of this. This is how we do 80. Nathan. Nathan to. So as you can see, except for 80 from 20 to 90, it's the same pattern. Now let's do some more examples to make sure you understand. Let's do 32. Remember, we're going to start with the last digit. So it's v_a. And remember the diaries us because we've got another val here before the end. And 30 is delta. Now I space these out so you can see them a little better. But normally you would put this together as one word. And that's why we have the diaries. Is there its weight and depth? To me in depth, meaning 32. Ok. How about 64? And there's no need for a diathesis here because we don't end this one and the vowel sound, zest. Never go. Vienna exist. Like I said, this is all one word. So it really should look more like this via transistor. Now let's try 47 xa1. And remember this gets to E is not an I and II like the four does. So Zaydan in Vietnam. Now let's try 88. You're going to like how this one sounds. Oft n. And over the top for 80 starts with a T. Notice there's a CH, CH Energy. So you're going to have a lot of sound to practice on this one. And it's pronounced OK. And OK them, dr. Now moving into the hundreds, this is pronounced, but you'll notice that we don't say 1800. We just have a home that when we do 200 and on, we'll add the number plus the 100, so 300100, et cetera. Now this is how I would say a 2303002. And really the only thing new here, it's the home guard. Okay, let's do 256. Notice how this is not two separate words. This is how we do it in Dutch. Today, hold that and then we just add the zest and via. Today on don't possess. 300 possess and VEVO. Here we go. And even higher number 892. So good to me. And native though does and does, and this is how we say 100. It actually follows the same pattern as the hundreds due. 100 doesn't get a one, but 2 thousand to 3 thousand gets a three, and so on and so forth. So this one's going to be a pretty big number on the board, but let's break it down slowly. 3,842. So 3 thousand delete doesn't remember, this is going to be just like the hundreds. So 3 thousand is one word, just like 300 would be one word. And then hold it. Same thing, make it altogether as one word. And then today and via FDA VA. And remember the diaries IS because you've got a bell sound here. And he's going to have the two 0s. And there we go. By now you've probably noticed that there is only one. And it's right here. Instead of like we'd do it in English, which is 3,842. But in Dutch we don't add an extra n there. We just have an here and that's it. So three thousand, eight hundred two and forty three thousand off conduct. Now back to our first question. Who outs been Yea, How old are you? Well, in my case, I would answer it like this. It then a1 and Yad out. I am 41 years old. Now you'll notice that there's no accident marks above the aim. And that's because we know we're not talking about the word on. So in this case, you don't have to have the accent marks there. Yeah. Actually means year and not years. Jaron with an EN, actually means the word years. But this is how the Dutch say, I am so many years old. And of course out is the word for old. And most of them in the Dutch won't even say that word. They will just say it been an investor. Yeah. Just like that. And how about you? Who outs been yea, who out is the yeoman? How old is the way? I could say the Yeoman is? Or we could say, hey. And let's say he's ten years old. Dean, yeah. Hey, is teen yet. So how many new words as you learned today? Actually, you'll learn several thousand because we went all the way up into the thousands will their numbers. And they all follow the same pattern. So they're pretty easy to do. Next lesson is going to be all about telling time. Doctor Volkan McKeon.
12. Lesson 8: What time is it?: What time is it you say? Well, it's time for another lesson. Today we're going to talk about how to tell time. Who lacked insect lat is heads. If you watched common phrases video, you already know this one. But it means how late is it? We say how late in Dutch instead of what time is it? Who lattice it will Here we see it's five o'clock. So we say Hit is vague. You actually means hour instead of a clock like we have in English. So we actually say it is five. Our hit his fav, you. Okay, so now it's 530. Now instead of saying het is delta, we say hit this Hoff zs. Off can also be pronounced hollow. Like the 12 can be pronounced as tall enough. There's an invisible vowel and between the L and the F. But we say it like this. Instead of 530, it is 6.5. In English we would say it is a quarter till six. But in Dutch they say it is a quarter, B46, head is quiet. W4 possess. And notice we don't put the word a here either. We don't say it is a quarter until six. We say it is quarter before six. Hit this. What, what does this? Now it's ten minutes past six. We say HIT team over this. Over can mean several different things. But in this case, it means past it is ten past six. At this dean overs S 625, we would do it a different way. We would say, hit his wife, roar half x0, y0, y1. Now half Xavier means 630. So it is five before 630. This vase, Warhol z1. Now you give it a try. Who latch and set. It is z even who laughed and said hitters half. Or it is Harlan asked, who lacked is set. It is quote, voter who lacked is hit. Hectares quark over. Ok. We talked about the word mydata already. But here's a little something different you can do. If you add an apostrophe S, separate from the word, and then an S on the end of a word, you get SMA Das. And this means in the afternoon or afternoons. You would use this if you are saying, for example, ME afternoon, I watch TV, or perhaps some afternoons I watch TV. The same thing works with these other words As well. You just have your apostrophe s In the beginning and separated from the word, and then an S on the end of the words. So this makes more hundreds in softens, meaning mornings or wear in the morning. And Sagan's and snacks, meaning evenings or in the evening and nights or in the nights. Like you could say some nights, I watch TV or I watch TV in the evening, something like that. You could use this method to say it is 12, noon, hit us, 12. Submit us, or it is 12 and the afternoon. We can use this board anytime in the afternoon. Now, well, you could say, heck, this 12 snacks, there's actually a word that means midnight, mid them, not made that are not the hands on the clock can be said to different ways. For the long hand, we can say the longest homes dilemma hung. The NG here is just like the mg and English. Or, or we can say the minute hand. This actually says the minute pointer. It's pronounced the mimicked and vaso Deming Newton visa. And then we have the shorthand, dakota. Dakota Holland. Or if you want to say the hour hand, you would say the vase didn't raise it. Okay. So it's three o'clock here, but let's talk about what the hands are doing. So the long hand points toward the 12 that Nanga east. Nad, the 12 vase means points and NADH means two or towards the long hand points to the 12. And of course, in place of love. And we could say Minuit invaded the good husband based not diddly. We can also say evasive. And instead of going down, now it's 330. And they east nad diseases. And the court, and they east nad the billy. Okay. Now it's 12 o'clock. Surely there's a way we can save both the long and the short hand are pointing toward the 12. And in fact there is they that On the vase in nad, the 12, this word means both. And more than one hand would be on them. And they Xin means 2, but also means points when you're talking about more than one is pointing. So both hands are pointing toward the 12. A few lessons back we talked about the pen is laying on the table or the cup is standing on the table. What about the clock? The clock is on the wall. So we say Doug Cook, hunt on Demir. Height means hangs or is hanging. And on is another word for on. Sometimes we use, sometimes we use when we're saying the word on, depends on what we're talking about. If we say something is on the table, then we use the Tafel. If it's on the wall, we say it's on the move instead of hope. And if there's more than one clock on the wall, then we say the 6LoWPAN, hung men on the moon. Harmon means to hang with. It also means more than one item is hanging on the wall. Now you know how to tell time and how to talk about the hands on the Kraken where they're pointing. Stay tuned. Coming up next is the weather forecasts. In the next lesson, we're gonna talk about the weather. Doped evoke into gear.
13. Lesson 9: How is the weather?: Who is it via volunteers to vh for spelling. It sounds like we need to talk about the weather. And that's what we're going to do today on easy Dutch one-to-one. Who has had fee. And we talked about this one in our common phrases lesson. But it means, how is the weather? If the weather is nice, you can simply say, head, does. There had this meu? Meu means pretty beautiful. We're nice. If the weather is not so nice. You can say head is sloughed. Rare. Select means bad. Head to select career. What is had via direct vote? Is there middle-aged? There, of course means whether that means message. So this is how they would say, what is the weather report, what has it via? But if you're looking for the weather forecast, this is the question you need to ask. Vault is z is VOR spelling. This means the weather forecast. The VOR spelling. To vanish for spelling. Vote is the template to do. Dampener. Looks a lot like the word temperature in English. So this is pretty easy to remember. What is the temperature? Hector's Xavier grad and we had no savings from our numbers, means 70, codon means degrees. This says it's 70 degrees. Keep in mind in the US, we use Fahrenheit. In the Netherlands, however, they use Celsius. So 70 degrees Celsius would be pretty hot. But here in the US, we say it is 70 degrees when it's my spare whether head is Xavier, duck thread and hes VAD, invisible matter. What does vitamin in dissolver? Volume can also be pronounced VAT on them. And it means warm and zone means Summer. So this says it is warm in the summer. We can also use the word warm for hot. Picked as vom, invisible matter. Head to Zona. Het is Zona. Zone up means sunny. And you'll also find the word sun right here. And the zone means the son. Hector says, behold, Hector has been volt. This is, it is cloudy. And the word cloud, it can be found right here. And debulk means cloud. If there are more than one cloud, simply added E N, D Volkan, hit refund, hit. This means it's raining. But the word here just means rains. And here we will find the word that means the rain. And if we wanted to say it's going to rain, we would say had hot re heads hut. And this of course means terrain. It's going to rain. If I wanted to ask someone if it was going to rain, I just invert the head and the hat or a filament. Is it going to rain? Had hot gray hill and it's going to rain. If you're listening to a weather forecast, you might hear this. Ad is an guns will pray. There is a chance of rain. Edison guns overhead. You might also see it with out the endless here, edit as console brazen. If it's been raining outside for quite a while, you might say this. Head does not. Head does not pronounced almost like the Not. In English. This word means wet. It is wet. And the opposite of this would be head is dro. Hit his rho? It is dry. Heck does Notre, picked is Vin. Vin means windy. And right here you can see the word for wind. The event. The event for the wind. It is windy. Had his window. Well, if it's windy and raining, it might be storming. Stone. Had stalked. And of course right here you can see the word for storm. Does stolen the storm. What else might you find in a storm? You might see doublet, some doublet exome for the lightning. And you might hear dick dom, dom, dom, dom, meaning the funder. If you wanted to tell someone and it's going to storm, you would say had, had store, a man had had storm. And this is just the word storm with an e and added to it. This can also be the plural form for storm. Heck discounts indenter. It is cold. In the winter. Had discounts indenter. Besides being cold, what else happens in the wintertime? Head, snake head snapped. This means it is snowing. And the word snow is right here. And snare is a downward. So this new dyspnea. And if it's going to snow, you say fat SNU and have cuts Navy when somebody else you may find in the wintertime is had a head, a case for the ice. Since we talked about the summer and the winter. The lender means the spring and the headfirst means the fall or autumn. Dilemma. And to hedged. And now for a little weather exercise, who is a tree it hedges Zona had his Zona. Who is at V, it hit array and hit the rays and who is a tree? It had his provoked hedges bivalent. Who is it clear? It's knit. Hats named who is it? V it headstone and headstone. And who is it via? Hit his head, his vendetta. So who is it near where you are? Is it out or fat from his Zona or fizzled? Although these are the basics, you could actually create a very simple weather forecast using the words we've learned to date. Now, a real Dutch weather forecast will have a lot of words we haven't gone over yet, but that's okay. We're gonna go over those in future lessons. Don't devote into kid.
14. Lesson 10: When is the Party?: Today we're going to talk about the days of the week a Anne Compton faced come off. He just said there's a party coming up of right back. Okay. I just found out some details about the party. I'll let you know about that later. But first of all, let's get onto today's lesson. The Dacian long debates, the days of the week. Amanda, which means Monday. You can see here we have an m, making it pretty easy to remember. And all of the days of the week end in day, just like they do in English. It makes it even easier to remember. Install didn't stock for Tuesday. Rooms doc rooms doc for Wednesday. And just like Monday, the beginning of the letter is the same, making it easier to remember. Daga, daga, daga da, for Thursday. For Friday. Ss after doc, Zotero, doc for Saturday. A Z and an S are kind of similar sounds. So this isn't too hard to remember either. And in some Dutch accents, they will actually pronounce it as z, just like an S. Zhong Da. Zhong Di, meaning someday in the word zone actually means son. That makes this one pretty easy to remember, too delicate. And is it filmed in English? We would just say what is today. But the Dutch say, which they Is it today? Though go means which. Which day is it today though? Is it from the UK? Today is Saturday. So he would say it like this. Lamda is hit CSAT their dof. Notice we have inversion here because we started the sentence with vom back instead of head. Normally, if you didn't have them doc, then your sentence would be, het is out there now. But the Dutch say today it is Saturday. So we need to use inversion here. From doc is hit xhat enough. What about tomorrow? More hidden is had summed OK. Tomorrow it is Sunday. Custodian, loss head Freida. Yesterday. It was Friday. A few moments ago, my twins said that there was going to be a party. But what did he say exactly? Hey, Eric, guns unphased. Hey, there comes a party. We use the word gold. Instead of a combination of two b into go. In English, we would say there is going to be a party. But in Dutch they make it a little simpler and just use the word for to come. So hey, there comes a party. Hey, add gold and faced. You may also hear o, which means Come on. Or Latin behind. Which means, let's go. Hey, yet Compton faced go more Latin. If you wanted to ask someone who is going to the party, then you say it like this. The hat and not hit faced. V means who in air as a special word in Dutch, that has a few different functions, but in this case, it doesn't translate to anything that we have an English. I'll come back to this in a minute and explain it a little better. Well, I am going to the party. So I would say it had hit faced. I am going to the party. Now, check this out. It is the subject here. But when we say who is going to the party and Dutch, they feel the need to add a subject. And that's where air comes from. My friend is also going to the party. So I would say, hey, cut, not hit faced for he is going to the party. Are you going? Sometimes you'll also hear the word Heyne, but at the end of this, not like to pain. This is just an h, so it's pronounced Heyne. Heyne also means, are you going? Now? Although Hi, yeah, is correct. You may more commonly hear high a Heyne instead. So we met up with some people and wanted to know if they were going to the party too. So we would ask them when Uli OK. Nat had faced Uli means more than one when referring to you? If I say you and it's just one person than I can say yet or yea, but usually refers to you when there's more than one of you, I'm talking to you. In the US. Sometimes we use the word y'all, but not everyone knows about that word. How newly opened I had faced. Are you all going to the party to well, they were going to the party too. So they answered by saying yeah, that nasa had faced. Yes, we are going to the party. Notice that we don't use inversion right here. And that's because we have yeah, on the beginning of the sentence. And if you're using yacht or nay, then they're just simple one-word answers. So it doesn't change the word order. Yeah. Behind not adviced. Yes, we are going to the party. Another important detail is when is the party insomnia is hit faced was on the air means when. You may also want to know where the party is. So VAT VAT is traced. So I found out the party is going to be in the park on Saturday at two o'clock. So I would say it like this. Hit faced is xhat there knock. The party is on Saturday. Own TA Smit ofs. Now, own means at when you're talking about time, two o'clock. Remember, Sassoon Docks means in the afternoon. In hedge bark. Park is the same word that we have in English. So the party is on Saturday at two o'clock in the afternoon in the park. Please also note that we need to say time, manner, and place as the general word order in Dutch. So you wouldn't normally say the party is in the park before you give the time. And notice that there are two different times. Zack or doc and trade-offs Murdoch's. We need to keep the Zotero Doc because it's a longer amount of time before a shorter
15. Listening Training 2: Welcome back to another listening training exercise. This will be over lessons six through ten. My twin is joining me again today. Oh, no. But things are going to be a little different. We'll have a conversation just like we did last time, but we're going to change it up a little afterward. Instead of just having the subtitles were actually going to have some questions pertaining to the conversation. Of course will show you the answer in the end. Let's get started. Boy, boycott that was at michelle. Hi, and I faced yeah, an a it is it will not say sort of problems. It doesn't it buck isn't needs. Yeah. Okay. Is it boy, lead. Greeted needs include enabled.

Who lattice in? Hobbes had just buying a tight Hoff says 530. So how did you do this time? It's a little harder because we've been adding a lot more words. Of course, remember that not everyone gets it on the first go around. But if you did get it right, then congratulations, your listening ears are again up to par. The next listening training exercise will be just after less than 15, and then again after less than 20 and so on. Don't devolve into good. Boy who caught it. Wasn't Michelle pigment pioneered based.
