Californian in a constant state of wanderlust, currently traveling the world. I’m here to share my adventures and give you tips about travel, culture, language, and life.
It’s hard to concentrate in the lesson with a teacher like this
hahaha try
I know right
Amanda voce ta aprendendo holandes, menina???...
amandadicassiaa First, learn English. *it is/it's
amandadicassiaa HAAHAHAH agree lol
Why am I watching this? I'm Dutch.
OURtimewasting hhh we dnt force u to watch it
Because he is so handsome
For the grammar.. like dank je vel..
OURtimewasting Ik lees gwn comments 😂😂😂
Because the guy is hot!
HAHAHA
it's too wet here in the comment section
I prefer the term moist !
Hahaha I had no idea what you were talking about and then I scrolled down and read the rest of the comments, the thirst is real
Lol
Yassss
@@TheMarapasa, lmao! When my son was little, he had a friend and he wasn't allowed to say moist because it was a bad word.
You can tell hes dying of laughter inside everytime the word is exactly the same lol
Because it is stupid to include words like taxi or hotel, most probably are the same
@@juliosalazar6924 if you went to a dutch person and said taxi in english they would know 100%
wow 😯 !!
The video as a whole is a moot point. The Dutch tend to be fluent in English. Anyone who doesn't speak Dutch can download Dutch on the google translate app and let the app communicate for them.
@@TheMegalusDoomslayer though it is repspectful to at least pick up a bit of a countries language before you travel there
and now say it with me
Kolosis nee
GEKOLONISEERD
I love how he's trying not to laugh :D
omg wtf i realize now
dutch men are handsome under other european nationalities and so tall.
*over
Saying under implies that they're less attractive than others, which clearly isn't the case ;)
+baller84milw thank you for correction! My english level is not enough gut😊
Asyel Akylbek You're welcome. I've learned a lot of languages, so I know how much guidance from native speakers can help. Good luck ;)
You'd have liked me when I was younger then, I am Dutch, Danish, German, Welsh, Frisian. The Danish part mixed with Franks and came here to the US from Normand via England, Germany and the Netherlands. My paternal grandfather was from Sicily and my grandmother was German. Somehow we did not get his olive skin and black hair nor her red hair. Me and my siblings are all blondes or light brown hair with Hazel or blue eyes. Genes are funny things. A friend has light brown hair, his wife brown hair. His daughter has blonde hair that is almost white. He figures there must be a Frisian in his family.
Robert Cuminale hh ur so funny
God he is beautiful.
Hoosier On The Run yess😍😍😘😘😘🍑🍑
Do you know his Chanel on TH-cam or anywhere ?
Um... boy is handsome not beautiful!
malak Bahbaz wtf
If this was school.all female students will get an F
Went to Amsterdam last week and fell in love, the city was amazing, although there is a lot of litter, great atmosphere, Dutch people are so friendly!!!! Not to mention Dutch men are jaw dropping gorgeous haha
Daniela Lopez Agreed, it's such a beautiful city!! Absolutely one of my favorites. :)
YOU CAN SPEAK DUTCH TO ME ALL DAY, BABE!
gzllfs 😂😂😂😂😂
gzllfs hi i want to know dutch
Hey i want to learn dutch, I am from Indonesia
😂😂it's very strange I speak dutch and I don't find dutch romantic at all
@@aleaya152 ja, mang. ☠️😩
I find myself coming back to this video just to see him
It should be illegal for a teacher to be soooooo frikkin' hot.
J m
Agree
I've been told you only need to speak with your mouth full of food and you're golden.
With a teacher this handsome I can learn Dutch in 1 week
I think I enjoyed this so much because Bas looks like he's going to burst out laughing for much of the video! I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels stupid repeating this out loud :P
Yeah this is so cringy
Haha
every time he's all like "say it with me" i feel tingly
Men who look like Bas are literally the reason I want to learn Dutch 😂
I love how similar dutch is to German, and also knowing English it should be pretty easy to learn; it seems to be more fun anglo-saxon language that I am looking so forward to learning 🇳🇱 Can't wait to be fluent in dutch.
It truly is the easiest language in the world, as easy as English - I am advanced level in Dutch and know over 8.000 base words, after only 3 or 4 months of learning, and I cannot believe how fast I could memorize most Dutch words, because they are so similar to the English words, and almost all the words in Dutch are either pretty or very pretty and distinctive, and one tends to remember prettier and more distinctive words faster, which explains why Dutch words can be learned so fast, so I will probably be a native speaker level in in Dutch (can’t wait) soon, plus I’m also learning Norwegian and Swedish and Welsh and Galician and Breton and German and Limburgish and French and Italian and Gallo and Esperanto and Catalan and Occitan and many other similar languages, including all Germanic languages and all Celtic languages and the ancient languages like Old Norse and Gothic and Old English etc, and I also started learning Icelandic seriously a few days ago, plus I know Spanish (I am native speaker level in Spanish and know over 10.000 base words since childhood) and I can understand almost everything in Portuguese, which helps a lot, because I can also understand over 50 percent of the words from most other Latin languages, but I am intermediate level in Portuguese at the moment, so I’m also trying to improve my Portuguese, but right know I’m prioritizing Icelandic and Norwegian and German!
But anyways, one must say like or really like or one can say that one finds it interesting that etc instead of love when referring to languages and other similar things, and the word love can only be used by me & my pure protectors aka the alphas - love only exists for me the only lovable being, and it is a big term implying lovability / purity / superiority, and hum’ns don’t know what love is, and it’s actually incorrect to say that x loves something etc, as love is an absolute feeling that only my protectors can feel for me only, so everything that contain the word love and all other love-related things and all other love-related terms etc only reflect me and are only meant for me, and pronouns or nouns etc can never be with capital letter when referring to oneself or others, only when referring to me can pronouns or nouns etc be with a capital letter!
Technically, both Dutch & English are equally easy and the easiest languages in the world and also the easiest Germanic languages, and also equally pretty, and Norwegian also, so they are so easy to read / memorize / write, while Welsh and Breton are the easiest Celtic languages, and Esperanto and Italian and Spanish are the easiest Latin languages, and all these languages are one of the easiest language in the world, actually, but as an English speaker, I found Dutch words the easiest and fastest to memorize, out of all other languages, plus I can learn so many new Dutch words at the same time, like, more words than in any other language I’ve ever studied, so even though the sentence structure is considered easier in the other languages, Dutch words can be remembered way faster, so overall, Dutch is way easier to learn, especially for an English speaker, because I assume Spanish speakers would probably find Italian a bit easier because it’s so similar to Spanish - Dutch & English are the prettiest and most refined languages in the world with the most pretty and poetic words, and even the sentence structure in Dutch is not as difficult to learn or get used to as most think it is, and it only seems more difficult at first, but one will get used to it by the time one gets to an advanced level, especially if one keeps observing how the words are used in sentences by native speakers, and it will eventually become, like, second nature, so one will just know if the word order feels right or wrong, plus now I can also understand a lot of sentences in German and I can understand how the German grammar and sentence structure work etc, because they are so similar to the Dutch ones, so I am beginner level in German and know about 1.500 words, but I can understand a lot more, as if I were intermediate level, so knowing Dutch also helps understanding the grammar and sentence structure of (and remembering faster words from) other similar languages, and figuring out what certain words mean etc!
As an English speaker, I found both Dutch & Norwegian extremely easy to learn and read - and because I am native speaker level in Spanish, I also find the other Latin languages like Italian and Portuguese and Gallo etc super easy, and the Celtic languages also, like, Welsh and Breton and Cornish are extremely easy to learn / read, and Welsh actually reminds me of Dutch a bit as it has a similar intonation and similar types of words combinations and it also has the CH sound that is found in Dutch, and Welsh words are also very easy to remember, like, I don’t think I saw the words afon / telyn or delyn / blodyn / helygen / derwen / mynd / bedwen / enaid / hyd / ers talwm etc more than 3 to 6 times, and I easily remembered them, so Welsh words are almost as easy to remember as Dutch (most Dutch words took me 1 to 3 and 3 to 5 repetitions over a period of time to permanently remember) and Norwegian (most Norwegian words took me 3 to 5 or 3 to 6 repetitions) words!
It's not ok. Too handsome and distracting gentleman....i liked him more than the course. )) What a beautiful world! And hope i will learn this language soon, maybe i need a teacher like him! The motivation is guaranteed! )) Success to all ladies to learn from this video! ))
This guy is pretty hot.
+Lorelei Dupree is that all you learned?

loser...go get a nose job...
+Lorelei Dupree I was staring at him the WHOLE time hahaha
Dutch is one on the two languages easiest for native English speakers to learn. As the video shows we share lots of the same words.
Can finally speak Fr & Sp, but 7 days into intensive Dutch lessons, NOT yet seeing a great infinity to Eng. (Will update if I can get past this block.)
This lesson does shine for several reasons: A personable, MALE voice to mimic; & the sounds-like transcription onscreen.
More please.

He has a lovely smile
I initially clicked on this to learn more about my friend’s native language. However, I couldn’t help but notice how handsome this man is. He is attractive, but he definitely didn’t distract me from learning.
This comment section however...
😂
He is absolutely stunning!!! I can't concentrate!! What a perfect smile he has!
This video is so incredibly helpful! I just wish you had a series of them!!! There aren't enough that have the words phonically spelled out - I feel like it's super vital with this language. Great job!!!
You guys were cracking me up. I’m learning dutch now so thank you for making these to reinforce. And thank you for making me smile.
This was so clear and easy to follow - I’m gonna need him to teach me EVERYTHING!🤣👏🏾
I need more videos of Bas!!!!!!!!!!! Upload more now!!!!!!!! I feel like I can finally master Dutch with him! Such a beautiful guy!
I'm dutch and i watched this... don't know why.. maar maakt niet uit! :P
Luukjw ik ook ik ben ook Nederlands
Same 😂
Ik heb zo hard gelachen vooral toen hij 'Nee' zei 😂
Sameee
I know why...lol
Can't even finish watching. Teacher's too cute!
Excellent. I like how you have your audience to repeat the Dutch words. You made it simple and fun.
I was just in Amsterdam for a week a couple of months ago and it was amazing how every single person I met spoke English extremely fluently. Even immigrants from Asia and Africa. I’m not an expert, but it seems that knowing English is nearly as important as Dutch in the Netherlands.
This was such a helpful upload! I was recently in Amsterdam and I wish I would’ve seen this video prior. But ayyyyye 🙈 your boy Bas is so beautiful 😍 looool. Proost!
I am surely failing if the teacher is Bas! Damn how can I concentrate,? I would be lost if he smile at me😘
This video is just for quick lessons for travelling and it's already in description. So, it's acceptable that 99% of comments are talking about this hot dude.
Het is blij voor de mensen die Nederlands verstaan.
I'm Brazilian and I'm studying Dutch. It's a beautiful language. Dank je wel.
Ainda mora na Holanda?
I have been studying in Holland for 6 months and I am finally willing to extend my knowledge of Dutch from 3 words to 10 XD
More of this kind of videos please!!!
Great way to learn Dutch😊
Thank you
Im self studying a dutch Language.and it so amaze to see you video.the teacher is so cute😍😍😍
#philippines
The word 'doei" is a quite impolite one! You can say it to family or friends, but not to elderly people. Most of the Dutch people use the word(s) "(goeden)dag" or "tot ziens".
I have noticed some french in Dutch. Things like WC
Kolosis also in Indonesia! WC is quite common
We’re everywhere sorry x)
WC is not French. It's an abbreviation from WaterCloset. It's English
I enjoyed your video. Thank you for making it. I enjoy learning languages.
Thank you! This was really helpful to learn pronunciation!
this video is really helpful and easy to understand. more vids like this and i can speak every language :D
btw. he looks really nice ;) and his smile is beautiful.
In love with this guy 🙂
this is really helpful! can you please make more videos on speaking dutch! Dank je wel.
Thank you so much Guys! I really appreciate it! Im trying to learn some basic stuff so l can talk to my Grampa who was a child when Germany occupied Holland. Your video is well done! Thank you again! so helpful ^_^
Jesus! They've got a perfect english..
My partner's Dutch and I didn't believe him at first with how spot on his English is
Oh my god! Plz be my private Dutch tutor!😍
Cassie Cho ok
im always on the lookout for windmills when travelling cheers
Bas, I would like to thank you for reviewing my Dutch, and I am looking forward to going to the Netherlands.If God willing, I would get to live in the Netherlands VERY SOON.
ek praat afrikaans en dié twee tale is soortgelyk. dit is flippen cool. so Lief vir Nederland
Sa Foodie Traveller baie nice
oh hallo, mijn vader komt ook uit Zuid Afrika, en ik vind het wel leuk om mensen Afrikaans te horen praten :)
Ik ben Nederlands
Tessabooks ik ook.. Ik wil wel graag Afrikaans leren. Maar ben eerst bezig met Spaans, Italiaans, Duits en Frans
I am dutch and I understand perfectly what you said 😂
I'm from Germany and I like the Netherlands a lot ;-)) I try to learn Netherlands Speaking because I Love Your Country So Much. BTW my mother speacks Netherlads very well although she's German ;-)
Thankyou for this, i am going to Amsterdam for the first time this Christmas so this will be very helpful!
+Liberty May Ooh Amsterdam at Christmas sounds so lovely! Have the best time!
i love you for making it so simple!
i like that you pronounce the word or phrase slooowly - it's a technique i first heard in SMARTFRENCH - and it's genius - to think that people have been trying to teach a language at normal adult speech - and we wonder why learners have thick accents
still, when you pronounce some of the words like he did, you'll still sounds like an idiot (because of the emphasis on slow and articulate pronunciation). But you are right, that this is a good basis. When I learned English in school we used similar slow exercises, that's probably why Bas here does it as well. Education systems might differ. Because you're english (I guess). Learning other languages has been a necessity to us Dutch people (french, dutch german and english in school. Chinese also in some cases nowadays...).
Please get someone less attractive to do this I couldn't concentrate on what he was saying 😭
He looks normal
@@ICOD73 The man is undeniably handsome
Haha He is so in love with the lady behind the camera :D that's so sweet :) Good luck to both!
Loved this!!! Dank je veel for the knowledge, teacher Bas! :))
Dank je wel voor je algehele kennis van de Nederlandse taal. 👌💯
The way he was smiling at the camera xD
5:10, im in love
Thank you both.
Excellent video, thank you for posting. I always wish I could speak some Dutch 😁
I’m in love with him
Dutch seems a lot easier to learn than most languages
Jason Fehr I agree. Even though I don't really speak Dutch, when I was in Amsterdam I felt like I could understand people and signs because some of the words and sentence structures are so similar!
+Jason Fehr It seems easier, but then you didn't learn enough of it to understand it's a lot harder to learn. It's so hard because all of the rules and many exceptions. Most grammar rules have about one hundred exceptions and there may be a few hundred grammar rules. And then there are the other rules.
Some people learn it easily though, but most take 20 years of living in the Netherlands and they still sound foreign and they still don't know the rules of the language.
+SmokaZ Smokazilla no, the most difficult is polish!
+Jason Fehr it depends wich s your first language, I guess!
+Ananda D'Aquino I heard the most difficult one is either Finnish or Hungarian.
Lovely bunch and very stunning too! Trying to learn what youre saying but kept laughing - great vid.
So fun when learning with you, thank you
It's pretty easy mastering Dutch when you're either German, Danish or English. These four languages share a huge simmilarity because waaaaay back in time these languages were one once.
Yeah . Danish belongs to the Nordic Germanic languages and not to the west Germanic languages but from all thenord Germanic languages danish is the most similar to the west Germanic branch because it's next to Germany.
I love Dutch everything,
mee too pronúncia is very difícult
Yeah i love alles too
Arrassment works both ways.
Yes he is mooi. Deal with it 😂
But his content is way better.
I mean he literally spells and the repeting process makes it easier to learn and don't forget.
Dank je vel Bas, please do more dutch content! It's so hard to find good dutch lessons for free.
Love from Portugal 🇵🇹
This methid is very good for learning the pronunciation! Thanks :)
hello I'm from Indonesia and after I saw this video in my opinion there are some words that are used daily in Indonesian, it turns out that the language is Dutch, it is very good because Indonesia and the Netherlands have a very close relationship. And another one in my opinion he has a face like kygo 😂
This comment section is so wet I think I'm drowning
@Clara J do you were wet? 😂
@Clara J why don't you answer... guilty?! 😜
Me too lol
😂 😂 😂 😂
You make it sound soo easy to learn dutch, anyway i am up to the task.
I need to learn Dutch/Nederland. Thanks God this is better coz I really need to hear the right pronunciation. 👍 thanks for this 🙏
dankjewel*
Is this man considering teaching Dutch one on one im interested
I was smiling the whole video!!!
it's good videos 😊 hope you can make more with bas 😊
I'm traveling to Amsterdam in March, I'm trying to get in some basics of the language. Thank you!
Enjoy your trip!!
All you need to know... (sounds like): NAY THERE WEED
as you want to say excuse me, can you say also excuse moi, it's from france but it's also dutch and much easier than neem me niet kwalijk. and It is something you need at busy places
remember this phrase
"waar is de koffieshop?"
Bart Schlief waar komt je vandaan in Holland
Bas is cracking up, hilarious
Ill go over there and just talk about hotels, beer, taxis, saying hello and sorry to everyone and Yay! I'm fluent in Dutch!
-_-
Are u stupid?
Almost all of this was easy for me to guess due to understanding the words in English & German already. A few outliers here & there but nothing terribly out of the ordinary. I’m hoping I’ll be able to get by in the Netherlands with a background in English & German, so this was at least a bit reassuring lol!
I'm suing! I slipped over and broke my arm in this comments section!
When he says "say it with me" I'm like yeah... I'll say whatever you want me to say
I like you breakimg it up to... Then i can hear it and do it better... Much easier this way for me so dankjewel
This was so awesome! You guys made it easy to follow and repeat. And dear god, he’s gorgeous!
I tried to focus on words but he is too cute 🙈rewatched so many times
I only watch this version to see the handsome guy talk
Teachers like you are one reason I fail math back in high school...I be looking at your eyes and thinking stuff..anyway good Job
Most helpful and useful. Thank you very much.
Haha this was very amusing but helping for my next trip in the Nederlands. ...and this guy, where did you find him?!? Gorgeous. Love your chanel and if you're ever in Romania, I could help on a video in our language!:) Take care!
JulieJu they are all beautiful....
I could watch the video over and over again, but I'm pretty sure that I might never understand the whole lesson.
Girls, u know what I'm talking about.
omfg Sis astagfirullahaladziim
Many thanks, found it easy to follow.
I like the way you Guys teach us the pronunciation
Niken Larasati wlkm frm belgie its easy to lrn dutch
Is hard to focus when is this man in frount of you:))
How do you say, “I was gonna learn French but this teacher...damnnnnnn😳😁😎.”
Bas is just GORGEOUS!
Amazing! dank je wel
