Hello there! I have just started taking lessons on my own and I have not yet get used to the pronunciation yet. I am from Brazil, my brother lived for almost 10 years in the Netherlands (Eindhoven and Utrecht) and showed me a book that I got interested in. I am now challenging myself to speak Dutch as much as I can but for fun. I didn't seem quite difficult at first except the spelling. Would you please come up with a video with this topic at any time? Take care!
@@cesarsouza3446 Hi! Dutch is quite phonetically consistent, you just have to know the rules first 😉 So you need to educate yourself on open and closed vowels and pronunciation. I'll be making a lot more pronunciation videos on my channel, so they're definitely coming! 😊
I find the UI sound difficult to pronounce. I just found your channel today, so I'll take a look to see if you've done a video on how to pronounce that sound! BTW, thank you for this video (hartelijk dank). Very useful.
@@CatsDutchClasses I thought that ui was the most difficult sound . BUt after watching the video about ui, it has become easier. And now w and v which I thought just as englihs v and f sounds respectively are the hardest to me 🥲
Although I don't understand the meaning of your words, I like to listen to your words and I love your words I like your voice and the volume of your speech. I watch every video of yours
omg, this is so helpful. I used to use a microphone in google translate to practice ui and Google never recognized it. Now that I watched your video and tried to say it to google again, it started to recognize words like uit, fruit, thuis, etc. Thanks!!!
@@CatsDutchClasses I just learned that, Dutch [ʋ] is not the sound of the letter V, but the sound of letter W. and some Dutch w in words is pronounced just like English w, while others is pronounced as [ʋ]. Dutch V always is pronounced as [v] (it is a fricative, different from [ʋ]) . I also found that in a lazy dictionary it always writes [ʋ] as [w]. Do you think Dutch w only has one sound? Here I give some words: wij [ʋɛɪ̯], wereld [ˈʋɪː.rɔɫt] , weer [ʋɪːr]. Do you think their [ʋ] sound is just like English [w] sound?

What sound do you think is the most difficult to pronounce in Dutch?

@@1rsalc the ui sound is definitely the most difficult sound for my students. Good luck 😉

super helpful, my brain was bundling all three of these sounds together and this video helped untangle them

The sounds of those consonants were somewhat confusing to me, but you explained it simple, now I got them clearly.
Happy to know the video was helpful 😊
Hi!. Just like it sounds almost the same to pronounce dutch v's as f's, is the same if I pronounce w as v?
I'd say the Dutch w is in between the English w and v
Thank you so much ❤
Is [ʋ] a fricative? why you said in Dutch v you feel the lips vibrate?
It doesn't have to be, but most of my students don't pronounce the v strongly enough, so this is a good tip to remind them

The Dutch seem to pronounce V and F with both lips, while many English speakers pronounce them with just the lower lip against the upper teeth
Thank you💜💜💜
You're welcome 😊
Very usefull
Glad to hear it 😊
I had a Wijf, once!
(She was a real wijf.)
Haha, oh no!
damn it :( , can we just say V can be pronounce as English F ?
Sure, we do that in some Dutch dialects😊
you made me realise that those sounds are not as straightforward as thought haha
Yeah Dutch is a bit weird phonetically, but once you get it, you'll get it. I promise!
