Dutch pronunciation: the letters V, W and F | Nederlandse uitspraak alfabet: V, W, F.
This is an extra video - to the Dutch alphabet and pronunciation lesson. Extra les Nederlandse uitspraak / Nederlands alfabet. De letters V+W+F.
www.learndutch.org/dutch-alpha...
In this lesson discuss in detail the letters “v”, “w” and “f”. This video is especially helpful to those that do not hear the main differences in the main video lesson about the Dutch alphabet. To help you learn well to the pronunciation - in this video the music is turned off. I made the lesson after frequent requests when having made the general alphabet lesson. Learning the Dutch alphabet correctly is extremely important when learning Dutch.
Extra video les: Nederlands alfabet / Nederlandse uitspraak / Uitspraak van Nederlandse letters / Uitspraak in het Nederlands.
Op verzoek gemaakt - extra les om het verschil tussen de V, de W en de F goed uit te leggen. Omdat de precieze klanken van deze letters in elke taal weer net iets anders liggen, is dit belangrijk goed te begrijpen. De muziek is in deze video uitgezet om de uitspraak goed te kunnen horen.

it would help to be able to see the mouth of the speaker to understand how the sound is being made
I fully agree. If have hearing difficulties and occasionally speaking difficulties, so I can't always understand people and they can't always understand me. When I'm listening to someone it helps to see their head and throat to see what kind of sounds they're making, but this video unfortunately lacks this. It's got some lovely music and slideshow, though!
VERY helpful to this native English speaker. I've spoken dutch since 1983 and I've been making the mistakes you mentioned this whole time. Thanks for the GOOD information!
I liked how you give tips for non english native speakers. I know a little of german and without this video i would have pronounce the "v" and "w" in the same way. I thank you a lot.
Ik heb aardig wat Amerikaanse vrienden en deze videos zijn een goudmijn om ze het Nederlandse alfabet te leren begrijpen.. dank je wel :)
I'm quite impressed by the final international remarks at the end. Bedankt voor de heel goede les, zou ik mijn vrienden aanraden.
Awesome - clear and detailed explanation. Dankjewel, Bart!
These videos are incedibly helpful! They are so detailed. Even sounds that I think I am confortable with, I can learn something and improve on!
I honestly never saw a better video than this channel, congratulations to the creator. It deserves my applause👏👏👏, I believe these are the best lessons I see on KZhead, the best pronunciation lessons. This teacher is wonderful for his patience in explaining the pronunciation of the letters so extremely in detail; which I have never been able to understand in any other Dutch language study channel. I feel blessed by God that there is a teacher on earth who really loves helping others to reach an absolute level of Dutch quality. Heartfelt thanks to Professor Bart💖
Thanks a lot for the difference between German and Dutch pronunciation, it really helped me a lot to understand how to pronounce words closer to how they should actually sound.
Now i am going to listen more to Dutch lessons. This is amazing. Thank you.
Na 27 jaar in NL en werkende als een vertaler heb ik met veel plezier je video bekeken. En alweer werd het duidelijk voor mij hoe vreselijk moeilijk die V is. Dank je wel!
You are The best online docent so far!
Hoi Bart:-). Have recently started your course online and really like it! My sister has lived in Holland fior many years, and when I showed her your course, she said, having looked at the your site...100% ..easy and clear way to learn Dutch language. Thank you. Keith.
A really clear explanation with helpful examples. Thank you!
Thank you so much for all your lessons, they are so helpful, very engaging, well-explained and clear!
Thank you for the great explanation! I always have difficulty to differentiate w en v. I will try your way. Thanks again!
Amazing video! Once my father in law (who is dutch) gave me a tip to say the "w" like opening a big smile, worked good for me when starting to learn that sound and now I see Bart saying that the lips shouldn't touch, is exactly like that. Before I couldn't hear the difference betwen "v" and "w", but after training it gets better. Good luck to every beginer, you can do it!
Superb! The only improvement would be to see your mouth as you say "w". The historical change in the Netherlands (but not so much in Belgium) is fascinating.
OMG, Thank you!!! I've been trying to distinguish how to make the dutch v and w sounds for literally years! This video was super helpful!
Thank you so much for turning off the background music!!!
Loved this lesson, it keeps me engaged and very motivated to keep going! :)
The best explanation ever. First time when I arrived in Nederland I asked myself why the people cal my wife Fiorica in place of Viorica The Dutch people are the smarter in the world 🌎 .Fijne avond allemaal !!!
Very helpful for beginners in learning Dutch. Dank u wel.
Great lesson! This helps me pay more attention to the way I utter words in Dutch
thank you for this, I struggle with the V and W mixed up, hopeless for me, thank you also turning the music down, it helps to hear this better.
This fantastic video gives me hope that I will someday speak this new language, which I love so much, well. Dankuwel!
Yeah me too 💝
Thank you very much, very good explanations! I'm starting with dutch now, and my main problem is the pronounciation, because german helps me a lot in the reading part.
You are a great man and teacher.love you❤️
you explain it very well!! good teacher!
Hey..Bedankt !!. I watched the video as recommended. I now get it where,how and when to pronounce words with v,w . Ik ben blij. Groeten uit Duisland.
for me, Bart- you are simply the best, outstanding!! (je bent gewoon de beste, uitstekend)
Thank you for your lesson I am from Sudan really I want learn Dutch.
This is amazing! Could you do one explaining how to pronounce UI? This is one of the sounds I have the most troubles with.
Als ik naar jouw filmpje kijk, ga ik heel erg nadenken. Dan ga ik beseffen, dat het best wel moeilijk is om Nederlands te leren.
Very informative,simple but precise lesson about the dutch pronunciation! Haha! This will help me understand my luisteren/spreken inburgering exam! As a person who is almost a native spanish speaking, i thought that Dutch pronounced “W” always as “V”. .
excellent lesson. Thanks for posting
This extra is extremely useful finally i understand the difference! you are awesome!
My son of two years and a half knows you.. And when he hear or see you he says halo didi ba te paw (halo this is bart de pau). All the family loves your videos
Found it really really useful. It is still hard to pronunce v and w, but it helps.
Thank you so much, but I must say, I found his one so much easier to follow because there was no music, which is very distracting. Do you have any more with out the music in them? Thank you.
Great lesson, thank you!
Finally someone who explains this and i can understand
Thanks a lot!!! It really helps me a lot🥰🥰🥰 finally I got the difference from W and V!!!

Oh you are just AWESOME Bart! Bedankt 🙂
Zeer goed! Dank u wel! The best I ever seen!
Thank you very much for your lessons! I'm from Russia and I hope that I can learn Dutch language with your help.
Удачи,тоже надеюсь выучить этот прекрасный язык
Very valuable video! Dankjewel.
dat is heei geweldig, hartelijk bedankt
It's also useful to know that in Flanders, Dutch Limburg and parts of Noord Brabant, the "W" is pronounced just as it is in English.
I do not pay attention to such conveniences.
Thank you so much for this video! My boyfriend and his family say their Ws extremely similar to a V. To the point where I can't tell the difference between the two. So I just said water like "vater." Now that I am unlearning this bad habit I am told my Dutch is getting better and more natural.
I like how he put examples with images I felt comfortable with that :D
This really helps - thank you
Thank you for this! Coming from German, this seemed a little more subtle to pick up.
Thank you for this lesson. I am thinking on going to Belgium for vacation and would like to get an idea of the Dutch language. The "v" "w" are hard to get straight, but your lesson was very helpful and explained it well.
There is differently spoken dutch. More mumbling, the sounds are softened. All differs. The written is the same, spoken is like a Scot and a Londoner. They simply have to adjust each other manner of speech or will have problems xD Once i saw two belgian guys having argument with another dude. They claimed he does not speak properly, and he made a few jokes about belgian and claimed that these people that really must have been born on the wrong side of river. There is something that amuses me woth their regionalisms.
I loved the lesson!
Ik ben braziliaans en heel lang heb ik twijfel over dat gehad. Dank je voor de verklaring! Dat was heel geweldig!
+Akira Uema Brasileiros em todos os lugares!
+Maicon Oliveira Somos onipresentes! kkkkk
Akira Uema Uma dúvida: tu começou aprendendo Alemão igual eu? Agora que aprendi um pouco do alemão me acostumei com a pronúncia, aí fica difícil alternar para pronunciar o holandês direito
+Maicon Oliveira Não, na verdade foi uma curiosidade mesmo. Meu irmão fala alemão e passou um tempo na Alemanha para estudar a língua. Aí ele aproveitou para viajar pela Europa e comentou que havia semelhanças entre holandês e alemão e que saber alemão e inglês ajudou um pouco para entender as placas em Amsterdam. Aí fiquei curioso e resolvi aprender holandês por conta própria mesmo através de livros. Mas entendo que no início deve dar um nó na cabeça mesmo.
Akira Uema Legal cara, bons estudos e não desista nunca! ;)
Bedankt. Het is voor een groot deel begrijpelijk. De voiceless F en de voiced W en V. Ook is het duidelijk dat V en F labiodental zijn. Maar wat W betreft, is het onduidelijk wat je precies moet doen. Er wordt vooral gezegd wat je niet moet doen: non labiodental, geen Engelse W. Een extra toelichting van W zou fijn zijn.
Thank you so much! That was a very comprehensive explanation! I appreciate the effort!
Excellent lesson
Just Exciting! Thanks a lot ...
Your videos are great! Thank you.
www.seen.is/group/6986 I have used some of them in my English and Dutch Exchange group here. Keep up the great work!
Really fantastic, I don´t know if I'll be pronouncing them as due but at least I guess I understood it: The Dutch 'w' is a bilabial (voiced) phoneme, whereas the Dutch 'v' is a bit softer 'v' (labiodental) than a regular /v/.
W - put lower lips with teeth (try to say v sound) V - put lower lips with teeth (try to say f sound) I am a complete beginner so may be wrong but this is my observation. (You may be the judge)
Thank you, Bart!
These videos are amazing!!
Cool! Dankjewel !!!
You don't need the music anyway. It's distracting. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much❤
Je bent een genie
excellent channel. could you, please, make a video that discusses "g" and "ch"? Thanks.
Great video! Thank you! How about a video on word order in Dutch. In my opinion it's the most difficult part of learning Dutch.
vuurtovenaar i am working on a grammar course and then this will be discussed
Benank Bart!!! Thank you so much!!!
Estremamente utile anche per un madrelingua italiano ! :) Very helpful, thanks!
I prefer the music off as in this video 😍. The music is Extremely distracting. It was much easier to pay attention without the music loop.
Thank u, now I can pronounce it!
wow this was great. very helpful
Hallo Bart! Hoe is het met je? I really enjoy your explanation. Accordings to your pronunciation and your explanation 'w' is not labiodental, while Wikipedia says that both 'v' and 'w' are. This makes me confused. Could you please give me more info? I would suggest you to show us how the lips should be when we pronounce these sounds. A video with your mouth while pronouncing will help us a lot. Dank je!
zeer goed en fantastisch. Hartelijk bedankt
ehis hapje dankje!
This is excellent! Gracias! ;)
Dank u wel ,bedank .
This was a great video. I know I'm not alone in being confused. However, when I was in Amsterdam recently "v" and "w" sounded awfully German when spoken quickly. I was a little surprised by your advice to keep the sounds accurate and not just give in to the shift, but on second thought I think it's better for students. So, thanks again. This is a great series. I only wish the Dutch didn't all speak such excellent (and unaccented) English!
you listened well during your trip to amsterdam! because the amsterdam dialect is very extreme in making an f out of a v... like in german; don't copy it !
Ron Stack hello mr
Thank you! In fact I have some problems in the pronunciation of "W". For example, to me "Wat?" sounds like the German "Was?", with a kind of labiodental W.
I've already heard Dutch music w close to f sound. W like f is Belgian accent? There're a video about the g and h sounds. For me as brazilian are the most difficult to know when is one or other. When I read i can, but hearing is almost the same. Geen and heen, for example
great information for begginers who doesnt have a clue!
mooi zo dank u wel.
Bedankt Bart,ik had die vraag gesteld. In Suriname zeggen we F voor V. Tot een volgende keer!
dank u wel
Thank you for your recommendation to Spanish speakers. In medieval age, we distinguished the sounds v and b. But it started to fade away, and now we only pronounce the b sound.
Soy argentina y pronuncio la "v" como debería pronunciarse :) yo sí hago la diferencia entte "v" y "b"
@@agustinamansur5665 tenéis suerte de haber conservado los dos sonidos. Así es más fácil, y me gusta cómo suena. 😉
For Polish speakers any of those sounds are not problematic, except of vowel combinations ij - ej, ou - au, oe - u, ui - au, eu -u. We just have to learn them by heart
Hi. Is there a substantial difference in how the letter W is pronounced between the people of the Netherlands and Belgium?
Very intresting language
I have noticed the guttural sound in both Dutch and Swiss German. But now I think I have learned that they are for different letters. Dutch makes the G gutteral where Swiss makes the ch & k. I hear that when Swiss say ich or danke.
Depends on the Swiss German, which differs from place to place. In several Swiss German dialects I've heard, the "CH" sound is clearly guttural and identical to the guttural G in northern Dutch.
I didn't mention that I'm American and I speak German as a second language. I live in Rheinland-Pfalz. Swiss is my favorite German dialect even when I can't understand them.
Thanks
Please will you tell me the best place to go to learn Dutch?
What a brain bang! I can't hear the difference between the letters 'w' and 'v'. It drives me mad. Nevertheless, your lesson is pefect, as usual. Thank you.
In Dutch the V and F are pronounced as f by pretty much everywone and the w is just as in english
@@MY-yt8ik that doesn't sound right
@@MY-yt8ik No, the "V" doesn't sound like the "F" and I usually don't pronounce it as such. A great number of people have started pronouncing them nearly the same, but this is a "degeneration" of the pronunciation. It's a trend of the last few decades, as explained in the video by Bart.
@@r.v.b.4153 And how do you make the V sound with your mouth? I hear most people pronouncing the V as a short V
W is like V but you don't pronounce it as hard, and there is a little gap between your top teeth and your bottom lip.
dank je
Oh wow! I actually heard the difference between V and W just now! XD
echt goed als je doe translate voor het arabich taal want veel mensen komen uit arabich landen zien jouw videos . en zij moet begrijpen jouw klassen
