  • Do the Dutch know a lot about the USA? Well, in today's video we'll find out! A few months ago when visiting California, I tested American people's knowledge of the Netherlands. Now it's time to do the reverse; today I'm in the city of Zwolle in the Netherlands and we're going to see how much the Dutch know about the US!

      I screwed up the language question.. I think I actually might have known that at one time. It's confusing because in Canada we had 2 national languages when I was in school but I wouldn't be surprised if they added a bunch of Indian languages since then.. anyhow so it's hard to imagine a country not having the concept of a national language

    I got 9 out of 10, only the last question i got wrong because obviously i went for english as the official language. And... i"ll admit 13 stripes on the flag was a lucky guess. I've always found it interesting that New York used to be New Amsterdam, just like other names in new york are based on dutch names: Brooklyn=Breukelen, Harlem=Haarlem, Broadway was originally based on the dutch Breede Weg and we have streets here called Breestraat wich would be Broadstreet in english. I also just learned just now that there is so much more, there are towns in New York called Watervliet and Kinderhook and the town of Hempstead is based on Heemstede, Bushwick=Boswijk, Gravesend is based on 's Gravesande and the Hudson river is named after Henry Hudson, who was the first to travel there on behalf of the WIC. the name Manhattan on the other hand is a European bastardisation of what the Native Americans called "manna-hata" wich would mean island of many hills, though there's multiple interpretations of that, another document refers to it as "Manahachtanink" meaning "Island of intoxication" wich was a consequence of the dutch settlers gifting the native american tribe there alcohol.

    In summary, I got question 5,6 and 9 wrong. From which our host did not know number 5 until he researched it as well. (And he didn't know number 10 either.)
    For everyone interested into the mind of another Dutch man, my reasoning is down below:
    1: C. This is something I learned in high school.
    2: D. I watched some videos online and this stuck as a cotcha against any American.
    3: A. This was purely a guess based on the reasoning that Americans seem to like American Football. I have never heard of his name.
    4: C. Like question 2, I got this from watching videos online but just happened to store it in my brain.
    5: A. This was purely a guess and sadly it was wrong. I did have a big feeling it would not be mcdonald's so I gambled on the other big chain.
    6: C. I know that the stars represent the amount of states but did not know that the stripes stood for anything specific. So I gambled for the middle of the remaining three since it's definitely not 50.
    7: C. I got this from watching documentaries on the television.
    8: B. Everything is bigger in texas, so they need the space...
    9: C. I have no idea.
    10: D. With how accepting the US is of the spanish speaking population, there can't be an official language or this would be enforced a lot more. (The USA really isn't that free in my mind...)
    And if you read this far, feel free to donate the €14 to a charity if you can.

    I personally got 7-10 questions correct. Didn't know about White Castle, the amount of stripes and Tom Brady!
    I can't help it but feel like this doesn't really represent how much most Dutch people know about America though, as I was so shocked these people didn't even know where Texas was on the map!? I'm sure most Dutch people would get at least 6 correct. But regardless, that was a very fun video to watch! And it was lovely to see Zwolle, the city that I went to college in being represented here! Finally an American that's somewhere other than Amsterdam!
    I'm sure most people watching (and reading) this will be Dutch, but if you're an American (or another foreigner) watching this and are planning to visit the Netherlands in the future. I'd highly recommend visiting the city of Zwolle! It's a beautiful old city with a lovely vibe and lots of terraces you can sit and eat! It's only about an hour away from Amsterdam by train, and the city itself is very walkable!

      I thought the questions could have been better - why would anyone know about Tom Brady or White Castle (since it's not even exported)? As an American, I have zero interest in Tom Brady. I can't name a footballer on a Dutch team, yet I think I would do well on a general test about the Netherlands.
