  • People in EasyDutch saying Dutch is not actually easy 😅

    @mariajosemartinez5135@mariajosemartinez5135 Жыл бұрын
    • Yes, and so...????? But they don't mean the same, do they? Why 😅??? If you're doing a course called "Easy Differential Algebra", then it's complicated algebra simplified to be a bit easier for beginning students, and that is NO SUGGESTION that that Differential Algebra is easy. Is there?? On the contrary. So if you're doing a course in Dutch which is simplified for beginner learners, and the course is called "EasyDutch", it does NOT AT ALL imply that Dutch is actually an easy language, so there is no contradiction at all, and not funny 😅, is it? Or did I miss something 🤔 ? The important semantic difference is all in the word order. Try a course in "Easy English", because your English comprehension is confused here ... and all students know that English is not actually easy either 😅.

    • @@einorastv Well, yes 🤗, I wondered that as I wrote the Comment. ... if I was just being dumb. Lol But... I can see it's a joke for 18 other people, but still think the joke depends on misunderstanding the subtle difference and seeing it as a sort of contradiction. My "problem" is that linguistics is my job, and I teach it, so the word order Easy Dutch wasn't flexible enough in my head to see the joke, as it is for people studying English as a second language. So thanks for saying so. I love language and talking about itand I do have great sense of humour, so i'll leave my Comment ... when is a pun not a pun..? Best wishes . PS I actually don't agree that languages can even be judged as 'easy' or 'difficult' .... my Chinese students will tell you that English, defined often by exceptions to the rule, is the most difficult in the world. Hey, with Dutch, exceptions to the rule are rare, whereas in English there are exceptions all over the place. Also in Dutch, WYSIWYG. Always! That means you can look at any Dutch word and pronounce it. In English that's actually rare. How anybody, like those here, could write in English that Dutch is difficult beats me! 😂 And the same people never mastered English tenses, or figured out present continuous\, etc. say that Dutch is more difficult with its simple tenses, spelling reform, and have got rid of case grammar from low German. It's illogical, there's no linguistic or other evidence, so unlikely to be true. But everyone (except me) here agrees. 😂

  • For a Dutch-learning Chinese, below are my impressions: i. Not hard to understand grammarwise; ii. What makes the Dutch-learning difficult is that people are unwilling to speak to you, especially when you have a 'foreigner' face. iii. A Dutch friend told me the trick is to insist to speak in Dutch.

  • De lastig stukje voor de mensen is altijd spreken. Als ze geen spreken met mensen, daarna ze kunnen niet echt taal leren. Ik ving het van mij ervaring, op eerste stapen het kennis van Engels wel gehelpt, maar alleen als jij ga Nederlands spreek, dat helpt. En ook luisteren, probeeren te snapen mensen, ik heb heel veel collega's heel veel keer gevraagt: "hoe heet dit?" of "hoe heet *** in Nederlands". Dus gewoon maak eerste stapje. Ik ben in Nederland van vorige Mei (8 maanden) en volgende week ga ik volgen Nederlandse taal cursus van a2 naar b1, dus mensen, SUCCES :) (mijn moeder taal is Oekraïens)

    • Jouw Nederlands leest alszijnde het verstaald in met Google translate. Your Dutch reads like it's been translated with Google translate (the word placement isn't right). Didn't get all the stuff you said, but I think if you would have said it, it would be much clearer what you meant. My reaction to your reaction is Dutch directness, not to be mean.

For me understanding is not that difficult, but actually speaking is not so easy. Then again I think Dutch is easier than German. However, one can get confused between Afrikaans, Dutch, and German.

I heard about uitvaart/ausfahrt, sollen/zullen and Enkels/enkels. And my own blunder happened when I joked about the Germans losing the Worldcup, which made them furious. Later I learned the reason. I had used the Dutch abbreviation for WorldCup (WK) and that meant Weltkrieg (WorldWar) in German. I had even mentioned; 'It's not that big of a deal, there's a new chance to win in about 2-3 years. I bet you'll win!' Nów I understand why that did not make them any calmer.

Volgens my is Afrikaans baie meer vereenvoudig (woorde was verkort) en makliker gemaak as Nederlands. Ek kan die Nederlandse taal goed volg as dit stadig gepraat word. Daar is egter woorde in beide tale wat geen ooreenkoms toon nie. Indien 'n Nederlandse persoon stadig praat kan ek omtrent 95% volg en terug antwoord in Afrikaans, maar dan moet ek ook stadiger in Afrikaans praat. Baie lekker = Heel leuk.

  • Maybe it's just me and i'm bad at language learning, but i think it's really challenging to learn decent Dutch as a native speaker of German. It's like the Italian and Spanish thing, a lot of "false friends" you have to spend attention on (especially in the sense of speaking and writing).

Wat mij helpt is het werkwoord even te vervangen door een ander werkwoord zonder dt probleem als je twijfelt. Als bij dat werkwoord een t bijkomt is het dt, anders niet. bv vraag jij=>word jij jij vraagt => jij wordt

    • I am Norwegian, and studied Dutch some 20-30 odd years ago, since I went to The Netherlands quite often (job). I managed to speak simple Dutch, and when I was alone, never used any other language than Dutch in restaurants, cafes and shops. But now I am learning Finnish - at least trying ... and that is a different story. The Finnish language is beautiful (as is Finland), but very difficult, at least compared to Dutch and German (and English for that matter).

Het helpt inderdaad niet dat Nederlanders snel geneigd zijn om naar Engels of Duits om te schakelen. Dat is wel beleefd, maar voor degene die de taal wil leren eigenlijk heel slecht.

  • Some people in these videos enunciate clearly and so I can begin to try to listen to what they are saying. Some people swallow half of their syllables, such as the young man who starts speaking here at one minute 29 seconds and the older man who starts speaking at about one minute and 49 seconds. I have the playback speed slow down to half of normal and I still cannot match up what they are saying with the Dutch that I see written on the screen. It’s because they are speaking in a way that they swallow half of the syllables. That is exactly why I am finding dutch very hard to learn. It’s not a difficult language if you learn it in written form. The grammar is not all that difficult. It’s learning it from native Dutch speakers that is the worst!

  • For me dutch pronunciation is not hard, but dutch grammar can be confusing. There are exceptions to the rule, then there are exceptions to that exceptions. 😅 Dutch is easy to hear, write, and speak if your language has hard pronunciations, but the grammar is hard. Even my Dutch partner have a hard time explaining things to me. There is a certain "you'll get it in time" in dutch. You learn the rules by just using the language, somehow it just feels right. If you know English or German, it's easier. I find that Japanese Grammar is easy, but of course they have a different alphabet. Overall compared to Chinese, Icelandic, or Arabic, Dutch is still easy. It's possible. To those learning Dutch, don't lose hope. Greetings from South East Asia! 🎉

    • Swedish is even easier for an English-speaker: no within-tense verb conjugation across the persons, and while they do have V2 word order (where the verb precedes the subject) in similar situations as Dutch does, their subordinating conjunctions don't send the verb do the end of the sentence. So you end up with structures like: "He ate an apple, because he was hungry" or "Because he was hungry, ate he an apple." But never "He ate an apple, because he hungry was."

In English for example, you have no idea how to pronounce 'live', unless you know the context. In Dutch you never have this problem. Dutch doens't have a lot of cases with different forms, like German or French. It doesn't have male or female forms or a male / female form of the adjective clause. I'm not saying it's an easy language, but it could be a lot worse.

Because that is *not* hard for outsiders to learn, at least not if they have any verb conjugation in their own language. I think it's harder for Dutch people, since you pronounce -d as -t.
