Your hot take is incorrect. Otherwise, great video!

...pronoujnced Zayland....

Holidays on the beach were always the best holidays for the kids. My favourite spots? Zoutelande, Domburg and Schiermonnikoog. Breskens is a different category: I used to live there are a kid. Therefore, out of the competition.

Hey guys - how do you find schooling in the Netherlands? We’re moving in around 12 months with our two year old but I’m wondering if the international schools will be the way to go. Any idea what your plan is for when Andreas gets to school age?

What’s your thoughts on the schools guys? Internationals seem pricey, albeit I’m sure the teaching quality is good. Are you thinking the little one will learn Dutch and go the public school route?

Interesting and amusing! Tip, at least works for me (on vocabulary): read books in a Dutch translation you already know very well in English. E.g. give me a Tintin comic ;-) in any language and I can read it. And maybe, also just for fun: check out the movie 'The Best 2 Years'. About Mormon guys trying also to learn Dutch (and of course their mission, but that's not the point here); hilarious in some scenes I think. Set in my hometown of Haarlem, where I lived sometime close to their church, some 25 years ago (so nostalgia for me as well ;-)). All the best, Patrick.

Wow. That’s a great price and even better with less crowd. We love Portugal and plan to go back soon. Next time will definitely do camper van rental and during winter months. Where you able to stay warm enough in the van?

Great video. My mother was from Cadiz and I have great memories of spending summers there visiting my extended family. It's such an incredibly beautiful city.

Incredible, I was just looking on my recommended for a short history video and this pops up, perfect timing

Good video mate. Are you gonna do the whole Spanish coast? Looking for Phoenician cities?

Planning a trip to Nafplio? Take the best book for exploring the streets, squares and castles: NAFPLIO: BIOGRAPHY OF A GREEK TOWN by Matt Stanley.

Fascinating!

Gefeliciteerd met je poging om Nederlands te leren. Om allerlei redenen is dat niet eenvoudig. Op de allereerste plaats is de uitspraak van het Nederlands erg moeilijk. Je zou zelfs kunnen zeggen dat het Nederlands eerder een spraakgebrek of een keelontsteking is dan een taal. Verder spreekt eigenlijk iedere Nederlander ook Engels zodat het moeilijk is het geleerde in de praktijk te brengen. Groot voordeel van het leven in Nederland is dat hier werkelijk alle talen van de wereld worden gesproken. Zo heb ik door ieder jaar een of andere taalcursus te volgen in 40 jaar tijd 7 vreemde talen geleerd, waarvan ik er 6 op hoog niveau beheers. Knap hè!!!

Well congrats, you've obviously seen the Dutch light; you may thank yourself for that later on ;-) You'll get there and if I may I would like to point out to you 2 other English Native speakers here on KZfaq whom have taken the trouble to learn Dutch and both of them have Dutch partners: Casey Killmore and Dutch Americano. Please go see both of their Channels and start by their very first video in which their very first steps into Dutch are pointed out and watch how they've managed to get to the point where they are now in the Dutch Language. You are doing yourself such a grand favor by learning Dutch when you live in The Netherlands, no really !

I too am learning Dutch but only as a hobby (same woord in Dutch) One point of Grammar that is worth knowing is that all nouns are either De or Het (Their words for The), and all words when Diminutive change into Het words. Unless they are plural when they are always De. If you don't know the Gender of a noun, make it Diminutive or Plural and change the gender!

I wish my job made me and my family move to the Netherlands. What a wonderful place to raise healthy happy children

Dude this is rad!

The AI is not even talking Dutch.

The most tedious but most effective way to learn a language is to read dictionaries. At first, don't bother with learning too many verbs and their proper conjugation. Nouns are more informative than verbs. If you have the vocabulary, primarily a lot of nouns and a few basic verbs to work with, the rest will follow, and a lot easier than the other way around.

Correction: it's spelled oliebollen, not olibollen at 4:03

Don't border about the diffrent stuff. try to order and talk in dutch and tell them you like to learn Dutch. Not that we will listnen we just start talking with you in English. Sorry for that.

"Buurman en Buurman" is actually a Chech original series. Maybe that's why they are difficult to understand. It is basically about the visuals. Very funny indeed! In my opinion, Learning Dutch with Kim is one of the best channels here on YT to learn Dutch. But, you are right, you need to be at a certain level to understand what she talking about. But there are more useful channels out there. I wish you good luck on your journey into the dutch language, together with your family. And I wish you and your family a great time here in the Netherlands. I noticed you already visited Kinderdijk ;-)

One minor point about addressing people: "Je"/"jij" is singular, "jullie" is plural. English lost that distinction as the polite form for singular is/was the same as the plural (second person). Second person singular used to be "thou" and some people (and old texts) still use "thou art" instead of the now common "you are". German has a similar situation but not as acute as the polite form in German uses third person plural (and a capital "S"). German also used to have a polite form using third person singular when there was a large difference in rank, used by the higher ranking person. One can still hear it in the original, German Sissi movies when Arch Duchess Sophie dresses down the clumsy security official. But don't worry, Dutch is a very easy language, there is only one rule. It is called exception ;)

Best way to learn a language, imo, is to drown yourself in it. Just like your son is doing by watching Dutch TV series. You could do that by working day in day out with someone, like your bike repairman, who doesn’t speak English. There are other possibilities like schools for adults where you stay for a week and where you, more or less, are drilled with the basics. Many companies with expats even pay for that. Years ago an uncle and an aunt, like me from the Netherlands, who hardly spoke any English needed to learn the language quickly when my uncle and his family were sent to Asia to work for a couple of years. In a week they both had a decent foundation to work from for when they would be surrounded with English at their destination. It worked great for them and for many other people. Key is that after such a language training you have to have the ability to use it and quickly expand your knowledge and experience, otherwise much will be lost soon. But since you live in the Netherlands and have access to Dutch TV, where Dutch subtitles are available most of the time, and to news sites, etc. that shouldn’t be too difficult even at home. It does however take a whole week from one’s schedule and that could be inconvenient with work or with your son, if you want to do the training together with your partner. Good luck!

I guess the best thing for me to do is to wish u good luck in your 'Dutch' journey. The comment u showed in the video about English being a foreign language in the Netherlands is correct although maybe a tad harsh. As said (and experienced) most Dutchies speak fairly decent English so if u stay for maybe a year it wouldn't make much sense to invest heavily into learning the language. Set your goals, according to the duration of your stay and your personal objectives and practice in real life. Like u said, u can practise anywhere and most people would be willing to help/correct u if u are making an obvious mistake. Good luck and if u have any questions hit me up (or comment)!

Figure out ‘neef’ and ‘neefje’. It is an exception on the diminutives. It makes the differentiation between cousin and nephew since there are no different words for that in Dutch. Strange people these Dutch… ;-)

Honestly not a fan of parents putting their child this prominently on the internet like this. I mean, its your child, do what you want, but he is gonna grow up one day and his whole childhood being public domain without his consent is kinda weird.

❤

Don’t forget to visit the North and the islands, because they are well worth a visit. People in the south often treat the North of The Netherlands like it’s the end of the world. We always joke that the journey from the south to the north is twice as long as from the north to the sount.

All these castles are new to me😂as a dutchie

why so much biking in germany if you are talking about the netherlands? That is confusing ( although the burg Eltz and the moezel area are beautiful it is not the netherlands)

What a sweet little kid

Welkom in Nederland !

My dude is even rockin the slippers. Welcome!

Phantasialand brul Germany, de Kempen and Eiffel are all nearby

wish ppl would stay away from here and make their own country better. we already have too many ppl here....

Love the Netherlands❤

You chose the right province! And i am living around the corner so i know you should have a great time over here. <3

Seems like a lot of the footage is from Germany?

Nice video, but WHY that terrible, annoying and totally unnecessary noise in the background ( a person making sounds on a trumpet) . It's distracting and does not contribute to anything!!!

Welcome to Limburg! Its a great region and portal to Europe. I've got some tips for you around Heerlen/Brunssum: A mural tour in Heerlen, gaia Zoo in Kerkrade, the town of Valkenburg. Greetings from a local navy veteran.

Closer to Brunssum is kasteel Hoensbroek. It has great activities for children as well.

Welcome to the Netherlands! Enjoy! 🇳🇱❤️🇺🇲

Don’t forget to go to the efteling if the weather gets better 👍🇳🇱

I visited ones Seattle.i have family living in victoria bc 👍 i hope you will have a great time here.

Welcome and yes i subscribed 😉🇳🇱👍

Ditch the music

Love it. It's a late 19th century interpretation of a medieval castle, with more modern luxuries. In the park there's all kinds of events throughout the year, such as the "Italy event". As a child I once had my birthday party at the castle. My friends and I dressed up as knights, we had a special tour through the castle. I'd advise you to visit Utrecht again. It's a beautiful city. Definitely get a tour in the Dom tower, especially if it's a bright day so you can really appreciate the view. They offer English tours too. Be prepared for a lot of stairs though. The Spoorwegmuseum (railway museum) is also fun, considering it's cheap or free with a Museumkaart and has some special things for kids. If you'd like, I can tell you mor about the history of Utrecht.

Welcome to The Netherlands. I like how you do videos from the context of your son. I joined your channel to see how he will adapt to the new situation. Probably faster than you.

Welcome to the Netherlands! I hope your child can swim? If not, get lessons, asap! It's a water country :) All kids end up in a ditch or river here and there... it's why Dutch children get swimming lessons from a very early age. ( I kinda think yours can already swim, with the travelling you do?)
