  • You have a foreign accent! Are you a native English speaker?

  • Me? Yes. I am American. However, I pronounce some words differently. And I am only learning Dutch. I am definitely not fluent! I make these videos of me practicing so I can get feedback on my pronunciation.

  • I'm sorry but your accent is not good, or at least it's not a flemish accent. I'm learning flemish (nederlandse) and the pronunciation is not at all like yours. No offense... it is perhaps different in Netherlands.

  • Yeah, I know. I'm just learning and practicing. I make videos like this so I can hear how I sound and work on my pronunciation. If you have any advice, I would greatly appreciate it.

  • Superrrrrrrr

  • Often people who are native English speakers have trouble with the Dutch pronounciation. Combinations of vowels(and sometimes consonants) make a sound all of their own, like eu, ou, au, ui, ij, ei, oe, ieuw, eeuw.

    I advice you to listen to (videos from) native Dutch speakers, to improve the above mentioned. You're doing well, keep up the good work!

  • NICE I WILL LEARN DUTCH WITH AMERICAN ACCENTS!

  • Haha dit is echt grappig om te zien. Joahhh!

  • OKay really.... I am american and i live here in the netherlands... Yes I speak dutch... and also spanish....

    For those of you GUESSING the accent... Get it right.. Most of his prononciations are GERMAN!! Luister heel goed... nee,dank u wel, het ziekenhuis, goedenavond, hallo, TOT ZIENS.. lol
