How do you pronounce the word "gessen"? The third 'e' has two dots above it. Thank you so much :)

[cvmostert]

@jesgar0629 you mean "geseën" as in blessed. it is difficut to explain, but the e with the dots on would be the neutral sound... ge see ae n.. not sure to describe with text.

mr mostert

how are things back in SA ? have you been back for long now ? i've been in holland for 6 years now but am considering going back too... i stumbled upon your videos because i was looking for a good rendition of the song "ek is verlief op die kind". and i liked yours.

do you have any tips for ex south africans considering to go back ? would be nice to get your email and exchange some ideas, but this is youtube and i don't think it's wise posting my email address here... any iedeas?

[cvmostert]

@bairen2002 You would be partly right, but it is not a dialect, Afrikaans is a language.

[cvmostert]

@LOLLIEGEEFMELOLLY I do understand Dutch yes, but when you speak too fast, I have trouble. Baai!

[cvmostert]

@dan1979geboren Dankie! Ek leer nou Nederlands!

[cvmostert]

Yes corruption, that is correct. Thanks for watching.

[curroption]

So words with go or ge is suppose to have a sound from the back of the throat?

[dan1979geboren]

Je doet het goed(I am a dutch guy but I can understand Africaans its very similair with dutch!) So you are doing well with your afrikaans. If you can learn Africaans you also can learn dutch.
