She's Dutch, but speaks with a perfect British accent. Pretty cool
Shaun Gordon indeed lol
English accent, there's no such thing as a British accent.
@@shabad0009 Sure there is. In the USA we have to delineate between American and accents spoken by people from England - thus a British Accent. No one says English accent in the USA.
@@mynameisgladiator1933 Scotland is as much a part of Britain as England - would you consider a Scottish accent British? I get the impression that you're confusing Britain with England.
@@shabad0009 I get the impression you're kind of arrogant.
Interessant. Ik ben toch echt 100% Nederlands maar heb nog nooit van Rokjesdag gehoord, of van stroop met kaas. Wat overigens écht Nederlands is met betrekking tot verjaardagen: wij feliciteren iedereen met de verjaardag van de jarige. In andere landen, wordt alleen de jarige gefeliciteerd, maar wij feliciteren ook oma, de kinderen en de buurvrouw met de verjaardag van de jarige.
Jaaa dat klopt! Ik wist eerst helemaal niet dat dat zo gek was, maar zelfs Belgen snappen daar niks van haha!
Omg nooit van rokjesdag gehoord? Onder welke steen heb jij gelegen dan hahaha
Rokjes dag ... vreemd dat mensen dat nog niet weten ;-)
Er is zelfs een film over gemaakt
Maar rokjesdag is meer een hype sinds Martin Bril erover begon
Ron de Jong dat ken ik wel allemaal
I’m Italian, 55. I’ve been for the first time in Netherlands in July. I loved it, the people are sooo relaxed. Everybody’s running, biking, canoeing, whatever... a lot of good energy around
Dutch People are incredibly active.
...and everybody is 2 meter tall at least :)
Yea the Netherlands is one of or if not the most peaceful place in the world there little to no crimes there it’s really nice
@@davidsteiner3221 they *are* high but i think you meant "tall". Which they are too
Relaxed outside
You've so cute. I've been married to a Dutch girl for 46 years and I still don't understand her - but she's great.
😹
Aww cute 😍
Your comment made me laugh. Thank you.
what's her name?
Oh! You'r the lucky one!
It's funny, you can barely notice you're Dutch, but as soon as you speak a couple words of Dutch I'm like: All right she's sooo from Limburg!
rappernickisbaasch 😊😊
rappernickisbaasch same...
Her accent sounds so British. Wouldn't have guessed she was Dutch, unless I hadn't read the video's title. :)
Bernard Kay we learn english in british. not american, idk.
Beastmode, I implied she'd have a Dutch accent not the British (English) accent she's exhibiting.
What confuses me about the Dutch is how freaking good they are at languages.
Haha to be honest I'm only good at English, but at least it's something right?
Yes, but yours is excellent with barely an accent. Other Dutch people I have known speak German and French as well as perfect English. I speak Dutch, German, French and Italian. ALL badly!
jjaus At highschool we have 3 years of Dutch, English, German and French. I've also followed a Greek and Latin class for two years. I don't have German anymore, only French, but I can speak it very well. At some schools we even learn Chinese!
Nobody speaks dutch so we need to learn different
Except for the Flemish and South Africans sort of.
The one thing that impressed me the most was the way the Dutch speak English. It's perfect. Their English vocabulary is incredible.
Mine definitely isn’t, might be because i’m pretty stupid :’)
I'm jealous every time I talk to them in English and also makes me feel stupid 😅 my English is just disgusting, terrible, it's a mess! But they can speak extraordinarily good
It is getting that way that they start more and more substituting perfectly good Dutch words for English words they seem to think that this shows sophistication also they bastardize English words by putting get in front, such as geprint.
@@tonnybouwmeester9646*ge
Not most of them
I’m Dutch, live in Canada & every year my husband & I host a Dutch Christmas dinner party to celebrate Sinterklaas Dag. So fun! I serve Dutch foods like meatball soup, a red cabbage dish, rouladen, a cheese ball with Gouda, Dutch Appel tarts& all sorts of Dutch treats.
Wat een leuke video dit!! En wat heb je een goed accent zeg 😍👏🏼
Lieke Biemans dankjewel Lieke! 💗
Lieke Biemans ja ik dacht eerst dat ze engels was
Lieuwe Elzenga ik ook
Lieke Biemans echt hè ik ben nederlands
Yeah as an English guy living in Holland I love it, it’s a really cool country with great people, I would say a few of the strangest things are the way everyone congratulates each other when they know or are related to someone who is having a birthday...and how everyone will individually introduce themselves to everyone in a room...also the two tone noise thing ‘a-har’ sort of like a sigh, or yawn style noise, but totally unique...
And the way cars give way to the right...makes driving completely unpredictable as you can never see what’s going to pull out on the roads in front of you....
And the Piete thing...actually I would be interested to know how Dutch people who have been living abroad think of it, and if it has changed since they left...
But yeah interesting video clip👍
Oh and also it’s really hard to sort of end a phone call with a Dutchie...in Brabant everybody tends to make a noises like Hoi-Hoi, doui....hoiiiiiii, urerrrrrrrrr...
Ik kan me er totaal in voelen maar wat mij ( zoals vele ) waarschijnlijk opviel: DAMN your accent is amazing! Perfecte kwaliteit video! :)
goed bezig
Klopt helemaal!!
yep
Perfect. I'm dutch as well. I adore your accent. It's such a relieve to hear somebody talking normal in the usual american blur that's all over the internet. I
Apart from that I also liked the contents of your video a lot. Keep going!
Unlike her grammar. "I've been born in the Netherlands"!
This is sooo great! Thank you for this amazing video, Laurie 😊 I am going to study in the Netherlands, specifically Maastricht, this August and I am really excited for it!.
The happiness in the Dutch eyes is always making someone else happier.Nice content:)
I’m mexican, i know spanish and english perfectly, and i’m learning dutch, what do you think
Mijn naam is Miguel, ik spreek nederlands, ik ben 16 jaar oud, ik kom uit Mexico (no Google translate)
The only wrong thing is that we speak Nederlands not Nederland (That’s the country)
That's Me as i said, i’m learning but thank you
Really good job!
Nico Di Angelo dank je
Good job!
I'm proud XD
Je Engelse accent is echt om jaloers op te worden, geweldig!
Vind de Amerikaanse mooier maar is idd best knap van der
FUN FACT: there more bicycles in the Netherlands than people.
True
As a dutchie, i can confirm. In Leusden, ( it’s pronounced leujzden) they have a literal bike vending machine
I'm half-Dutch and spent a summer at a camp near Amersfort in the fifties. I had forgotten about chocolate sprinkles on bread. Thanks for re-awakening fond memories of the camp and my friend Goof.
Je zegt dat je Nederlands bent, maar allemachtig wat een Engels accent! Hahahaha wel lief trouwens, en een knappe meid! Goed bezig!
DonderJager haha ahh super lief! Dankjewel 😊😊
Laurie Robyn favoriete vlaai?
Laurie Robyn hoi. Ik had even een vraagje. Uit welk gedeelte van Limburg kom je? stad/dorp.
Midden Limburg :-)
Ohh heel moeilijke vraag dit... Ik ga wel altijd voor de wat simpelere vlaaien, dus als ik nu zou moeten kiezen zou ik gaan voor een vers stukje kruimeltjes vlaai met pudding :-) (saai he haha)
Don,t forget to reveal that a layer of butter or margerine on the slice of bread prevents the sprinkels from falling off...
Saskia Veen I had to be taught to do this properly when working out there.

We got to spend one day on a bus tour provided by cruise to rural countryside and a cheese manufacturer and a village with windmill and wooden shoe manufacture demonstration, preserving traditional buildings and culture. Loved the country side. Several weeks later, traveling by train and bus, we spent two nights in Amsterdam. The morning of the whole day in the Van Gogh museum, and the afternoon till they ran us out in the Rijksmuseum. We loved our short time in the Netherlands. We were most impressed with a school that was on the same street, a couple of blocks west of the Van Gogh museum, where our hotel was. It was some school celebration involving the families, and it was a sight to behold, a marvel of fellowship and getting together that lasted into the evening. We were also impressed with the vast numbers of bicycles for transportation, including the many families we saw, some dads carrying two or three small children on their bike. We really hope in the future we could return and spend more time in the Netherlands. We loved our short three days.
I am first generation Dutch in the US on my mom’s side, father is Irish American. These videos make me so happy and in touch with my heritage! Thank you
You've nailed the home counties English accent. I'd have never guessed you're Dutch.
Haha thank you!
im german but i live in the netherlands i can hear it so easily but she can speak good english
Me too! Your english accent is really great, cannot hear the dutch accent. Thank you for making this video!
In Netherlands everyone speaks good English, don't they?
If I had to guess I would have said australian that's lived in the northeast U.S.
I don't know why some people compliment "dropping" their accents. Most accents are beautiful imo.
From a guy born and raised in Brussels belgium...
1/ The Dutch are very polite. I hear more 'Hi can I help you?' than in Belgium. Also more friendly.
2/ they do lots of sports mainly cycling, tennis, football, and hockey of course.
3/ they speak very good English very early
4/ very organized. When I visit big cities it's all very neat. The great public transport system is an example.
5/ all very tall. You recognize them easily when they go abroad.
6/ lots of Indonesians in Holland. Even in small cities. I'm from Indonesian descent and it almost feels like going 'home' lol.
Having lived in Belgium for almost all my life, I can confirm #1. There's this mentality here that everyone should keep to theirselves; when you're walking on the street, a lot of people have 'long faces'. It's sad, however with the new generation, I believe there is hope! Nog een gelukkig nieuwjaar!
Belgium people have a Nice accent😂
Aswin A they cant speak english. They say Tank you i stead of thank you cause they suck at any language. Only a few people speak proper english. if you listen to the minister president he will talk english like a moron.
Mergim Morina, well, most people learn it from age ten, but, that has only started in the last couple of decennia, and if you learn to speak it at a higher age it's normal that it sounds different
Great transport system🤣 waar was de NS afgelopen donderdag?
I really admire the Dutch people. Their ancestors found a sea, pumped out and made a place to live. Everyone is welcoming to strangers in the Netherlands.
I was waiting for you to say the all foody things! My dad is from he Netherlands and he continued a lot of the Dutch traditions and food stuff. Absolutely love it
Honey appetite you 🍯☺️
I thought you were English when I heard your accent. Well done.
I'm Canadian, but my wife is a Dutch woman who came to Canada when she was 12. Most of these things are very familiar to me.
3 Kisses: My mother in law is constantly warning the Dutch family members "Don't kiss Mark." She knows that stodgy old Canadians like me find it very uncomfortable. She must have spread the word to all of the family when we visited the Netherlands a few years ago, because it was never an issue.
Cycling: You must admit that your weather is more bicycle friendly than here in Canada. Cycling in 2 cm of snow is a challenge. Cycling in 30 cm of snow can not be done. I was very impressed with the cycling infrastructure through the whole country. There are bike paths and bike lanes everywhere, including downtown Amsterdam. I found that the cyclists were far more dangerous than the motorists when I was walking around Amsterdam.
Deep Fried Everything: This is proof that genetics have more influence than diet when determining body type. I'm amazed that the average Dutch person looks so fit when they eat so much fried food and sausage. I suppose that the cycling helps. Though I understand why there is so much fried stuff when the other options are Boerenkool, Andijviestamppot, or Snert. That stuff is foul.
Rokjesdag: Didn't know about this one.
Chocolate Sprinkles: My kids love these. It's funny that you call the fruity ones rainbow sprinkles. That's what we call them too. I always thought that Stroop was similar to Molasses.
Birthdays: The strangest thing about Dutch birthdays it that you'll say "Happy Birthday" to all of the family members. My mother in law will call on a child's birthday and happily say "Happy Birthday" to me. Though recently she has started saying "Happy Birthday for your daughter." I wouldn't call the talking in the circle "chatting." It is too chaotic for that. If there are 12 people in the circle, there are probably 16 conversations going on at once, possibly in multiple languages. The only time when I can follow things is when they break in to a chorus of Long zal ze leven.
Vlaai: Never heard of it. My father-in-law is from Texel and my mother-in-law is from Zutphen, but has some Friesian roots. I guess northerners are different. They'll have Appelkoek instead. Vlaai looks delicious though. Dutch baking is so good that I'm surprised you don't all weigh 300 pounds.
Beschuit met Muisjes: Rusks with Aniseed sprinkles. We bought these when my oldest daughter was born, but not when the younger two kids came along. For a while one of the colours of muisjes was not allowed to be imported in to Canada because the food colouring wasn't allowed here.
Snack Wall: I saw these in Amsterdam. It was a cool thing, and I bet that they are very careful not to let anything sit too long.
One warm meal per day: My in-laws usually eat their main meal at noon, but they are retired farmers. I think that this depends a lot on lifestyle.
Thanks for the great video. Tot ziens.
Ahh loved this detailed comment! Interesting to see as well that it carries over because of your wife! :-)
Te veel om te typen 😂 (ik ben NL)
In English we say TL;DR for too long; didn't read :)
The main meal at noon thing is quite common. Besides I only eat fried food about once a week, and the rest of our diet is usually quite healthy. So that might explain the fat thing.
U have a lot of time
I love how you decorate a window or put up a sign when a baby is born. We are from the UK but had our daughter in the Netherlands and did this tradition too x
Thank you so much for sharing your culture with the world. It is "a breath of fresh air" for me over here in the USA.
Greetings from Germany! - I love all Dutch! You are all so NICE PEOPLE! *HUGS*
Traitor ;)
RossoBianco1895 Whaaaaat??
Matthias thxxxxx. love from the Netherlands back to you ❤
Matthias thanks💟
Matthias Thanksss
This accent for a Dutch girl is really impressive. I try to hide my accent and I do a good deal with it. but this is spot on !
Haha thank you!
gregoryviper she is dutch
That's what he said
Why would you try to hide accent?
Whats The point?
@@LaurieRobyn You could definitely fool people in the Netherlands and say your English. You need to dress the part though. Very easy to tell apart the Dutch from English just by clothes and make up.
Thank you
We very much enjoyed our stay and bike trip in the Netherlands. Please keep making more videos.
Leuke video en het klopt min of meer allemaal.Wat grappig te zien is, is dat je nederlands bent,met een bijna perfect engels accent en....je beweegt je handen als een italiaan ;-)
Well done :)
I'm Australian and lived in Holland for a year. The kisses thing blew my mind for the first 3 months and so did having to go around and congratulate everyone at the birthday party who was related to the birthday person. One of the strangest things though was when all the school kids graduated and they put their bags on the end of flag poles on the houses. I initially thought they were protesting against going to school.
Hahah ah yeah that must be really strange seeing all those school bags hanging around!
Wow. You speak with a proper British accent. Amazing.
no she doesn't....
MrWolf // MRW Yes she does..
We were in Damwoude, Friesland May of 2019 for almost three weeks. We had a wonderful time with family and did a lot of exploring along the numerous bike trails by the canals. The end of our trip was being in the Elfsteden Oldtimer Rally touring in a 1949 Mercedes Benz 170s visiting all eleven Friesland cities and going through many villages. An amazing trip and the people are beyond outstanding.
Love this vid! Well done. You just made a convert to the chocolate sprinkles on toast snack...OMG that is sooooo goed!
I'm German and I've just watched a couple of videos of Americans in Germany sharing their experiences. Somehow, your video started playing next and I thought: Mh.. she's not American, that sounds like a British accent to me. Then keep listening and hear you say you're Dutch and not British. I'm really stunned. I go to the Netherlands as often as I can to attend music festivals, and I've talked to countless Dutch people over the years and I always can tell they're Dutch. Except Armin van Buuren when he's speaking English (he's accent free in my impression) and you who'd I've mistaken for a British girl.
Just wanted to share this. Keep going, bye :-)
Dat wat de rest van de wereld gebruikt voor het versieren van een taart doen wij op ons brood.
Hagelslag!!!!!
Zoals het hoort.
Elke dag een feestje.
Haha ja "KIJK UIT, HET HAGELT"
It is understandable that rokjesdag is a relatively unknown tradition because the term was introduced for the first time by Dutch writer Martin Bril in 2010. He observed how young women dressed in their 'rokje' on the first sunny spring day and wrote a lovely column about it.
Your video is lovely as well!
Thank you for posting this. I was quite happy to see I knew most. My sister lives in The Netherlands
For Dutch you have a amazing accent!
In1998able thank you!! 😊
'for dutch' lel
Yeah its very good, i try to do this myself because i think it sounds nicely, but i'm also careful not to overdo it (like you (because people think it's weird (which it is because i don't live in the uk))). The only slip was the "more" at 7:05 :) but the rest sounded perfect, cheers !
John Doe know
In1998able hahahahhahahaha thanks😂
Ik zie al voor me hoe al die Amerikanen hier naar zitten te kijken, echt zo van "die Nederlanders zijn echt rare wezens"
Edit: OMG THX FOR THE LIKES ik heb nog nooit zoveel likes gehad!!!!!
_ AmazingWolfGirl _ haha ik heb wel eens hagelslag meegenomen naar Schotland, ze snappen er helemaal niks van 😂
Laurie Robyn wauw, ik zie het al voor me 😂
_ AmazingWolfGirl _ Ahahaha, nou ja, ik ben ook raar ;)
_ AmazingWolfGirl _ hahaha
_ AmazingWolfGirl _ zo denken ze ook over ons
Fantastisch verteld! Much love. Xx
I loved your video! My boyfriend is Dutch, also from the south (Maastricht) there is something that I didn't see and I was hopping to hear your comment, the Stroopwafels! OMG the best sweet treat ever!!! 😍 I like a lot eating my stroopwafel soggy with my coffee.
Here some facts about your video that I found odd about Dutch culture :
- the 3 kisses thing is weird but funny 😂 I'm from Chile and we give just one kiss on the cheek, once we had a meeting with my boyfriend and his colleagues (all of them Dutch) and I gave like 45 kisses lol I was a bit dizzy after all that dance kissing cheek thing
- I also forgot about the black licorish sweets. The texture is a bit hard, like chewing a really old gummy bear but I like the flavor (the sweet ones, I hate the salty ones) specially the katjes drop
- the first time I saw my boyfriend eating hagelsag with the toast I was laughing so hard at him because for us (I'm Chilean) Chocolat sprinkles are just a topping for desserts or cake... For me is like eat a dessert with bread and butter 😂
- I also like a lot the appel stroop, the color is kinda odd but the flavor and the texture is like eating honey made of apples 😍 love it in waffles and pancakes.
- Dutch language is really hard to learn! For me reading it looks a bit like English and hearing it it looks like German 😅 doing my best! My boyfriend's mom doesn't speak any English or Spanish so I have to learn
That's pretty much it. Again, loved your video ✌🏻️
succes met leren!
www.weaving-words.uk/ More Dutch onto English and English into Dutch translation
Love salted licorice!
Being Dutch I think we eat a slice of bread rather than 'toast'...
Kees Closed I think she means beschuit by toast
xDaniqueD No she didn't, she showed us a slice of bread with stroop and cheese on it lol
wacht, waarom praten we engels?
Masky Toons she said at 5:20 'toast' is beschuit lol
Noahtjuhh GT Yes, but translating 'toast' for 'beschuit' is just plain wrong... Beschuit is generally translated as 'rusk'.
I'm amazed at your accent. My Mother was Dutch. She was evacuated from Holland during WW2, landing in England, then to NZ 10 years later. She still spoke with traces of Dutch up until she passed away. For someone so young, you seem to have picked up the South Western English accent quite quickly.
As a Dutchie i had to find the Dutch accent in the first minute. She could fool people here and say she's English.
Lovely video. Deep fried mars bars etc is a thing in Scotland, particularly Glasgow.
Chocolate on bread sounds great.
The Apple spread is also a thing in Norway, I think.
I've been to Amsterdam twice, and this past time we also rode the train out to Arnhem and Nijmegan, which were wonderful to visit.
Ongelooflijk hoe goed jouw Engelse uitspraak/accent is! Ik had in eerste instantie geeneens door dat je Nederlands was, zeker niet Limburgs. (En omdat er niet zoveel mooie Nederlandse meiden/vrouwen rondlopen in Nederland haha)
Veel succes met je kanaal, ik ben geabonneerd!
I’m half Dutch and I always bring chocolate sprinkles back home for myself and friends😂
My wife gets them here in Australia I use them on ice cream
I've some friends in Hungarian, and every time we visit them, we bring chocolate sprinkles!! And my father told us to let them take it all, cuz we can take as much as we want when we're back home again :(
Hagelslag *
What is the other half?
I’m half Dutch aswell and I sometimes bring back chocolate sprinkles aswell
I was born there in Schiedam . Lived there since 1987-1996 . Left Holland and moved to Thailand .
Miss my hometown everyday...
I'm from Greece and i recently visited Neitherlands. I have to say that it is beautiful and i really liked the houses and the buildings ❤❤
How's the Greece
Stroopwafels, oliebollen, hagelslag, chips with mayonnaise (!!!), all those deep fried snacks - the most amazing thing about the Netherlands is that no-one is grossly obese. Must be all the cycling.
Tarquin Midwinter This is so treu. Dutch people are mostly becomming fatter after a certen age... that is when they have there drivers license.. :D
Tarquin Midwinter, that is ignorant to say... The Netherlands also has obese people. Grossly is a definition that is not medical/clinical but personal. How obese is grossly to you.
Schiffelers I can see your vieuw. But i think, Schiffels that he has no intention to insult as of an ignorance...It was a joke. But true, here in the Netherlands people als have weight(-problems)...Lets me think of the times i wass eating stroopwafels terwijl ik fietste(while i was riding on a bike) :D
Nicky, ik weet wat Nederlands is als Nederlander. Ik weet ook dat het gaat om stereotyperingen en dingen globaal gezien uitgesproken. Humor is dan weer iets dat niet makkelijk is te gebruiken in geschreven taal zonder de herkomst, bron te kennen. En het is niet mijn taak taal te ontcijferen, het is de zender die zijn boodschap duidelijker zou moeten zenden dan!
But in the Netherlands I see more people driving in a car alone, than that I see groups of adults cycling.
If the public transportation was free, like studenten OV for middle school aged children most would leave the bike at home. It is because things are local, and FLAT that people ride bikes on the more in the Netherlands than other European countries, fact.
The more south you go in the Netherlands the less bicycles are used. Here the landscape is not flat.
I know almost no person my age or younger that likes riding a bike. Most prefer walking or public transportation. The only time streets are filled with bicyclers is when Middle school starts and ends! Why not aloud to have a scoter or moped, public transport is costly for some families how many voedsel pakketen van de voedselbank?
So it is a stereotype like windmills, wooden shoes, being blond and blue eyed hitting close to 2m in length.
The Dutch being one of the tallest nations in the world is a fact. But it is not automatically fact that Dutch = tall. That is the difference *no-one* seems to respond too. (no-one.... see my grossly point!)
Hi Schiffelers, I'm a Brit living in the Netherlands. I also visit the USA now and then, so I'm in a reasonable position to make comparisons, however unscientific they may be. I'm not a doctor, so my definition of 'grossly obese' is purely personal. My comment was intended to show my affection for my adopted country, not to stereotype anyone. Love y'all.
ps. You might like to check out my video's of Dutch bike rides.
We congratulate everyone on a birthday😂
True haha!
Soof 15 hahaaha ja lol, k haat dat
I watched this video one year ago and now, that my exchange year in the Netherlands is almost finished, I can relate to all of them. Love the Dutch culture🧡
Hahahahahaha ☺️
I lived in the Netherlands for 20 years and yes, I can relate to it! I just love the country!🥰❤️ 🌷
You forgot Traktaties, Olliebollen and Stroopwafels!!
Ja stroopwafels
Oliebollen!!!!!!
Kibbeling
Berenburg en drop
Ik wist niet eens dat mensen stroop met kaas eten 😂😂
joya straus haha ik heb het zelf eigenlijk ook nog nooit geprobeerd 😂
Laurie Robyn probeer het eens, het is niet verkeerd
joya straus Bij een kaasplankje zit het ook vaak. Combinatie is heerlijk, net als honing...
joya straus ja echt goor
je weet niet wat je mist
Hi Laurie. I'm Spanish and I am learning a bit of Dutch by myself. I really liked your video. I already knew some of the things you explained, but I also learned a lot if new ones thanks to your video. I had two Dutch classmates and they used to bring their sandwiches and ate them at 18:00h . They ate during lessons and my friends and I didn't understand it, but now I know why. It was their time for dinner. We usually have dinner around 21 pm. Regarding food, these dishes sound delicious. I'd love to try Dutch "boterham met hagelslag" because our sprinkles are too sweet and not chocolatey.
Thanks for all this information. Hugs from Spain. 🤩😘
Your English is absolutely spot on.
Wow!! Jouw Engels is echt super!! En topic was erg interessant, en jij bent leuk om naar te kijken ;)
Ryaaz Nankoe dankjewel!!
Like als je Nederlands bent 🇱🇺🇱🇺
Lieve Disse Da’s Luxembourg 😂

Hoi! :) I'm a Russian expat in The Netherlands, absolutely in love with your beautiful country. Moved recently, now trying to learn the language and blend in with the locals (I kinda look Dutch, so people mistake me for a local sometimes). Very nice video, prima gedaan! :)
How are your g's going?
I love Holland because the poeple there are open minded! Thanks Laurie, you're lovely!
PEANUT BUTTER WITH HAGELSLAG
Lekker
imuny Wat??? Jij ben niet helemaal 100 😂😂
imuny das echt vies
imuny | JA OMG LOVE IT 😂😂
Dat is hartstikke lekker joh :)
I recently returned from my visit to the Netherlands. It was freaking awesome and I loved it! I am from South Africa and my home language is Afrikaans, which is just another dialect of Dutch, but it is still a bit different; nevertheless, I did understand a lot of Dutch. It was a really awesome experience and I visited so many places, like the Afsluitdijk in Neeltje Jans, that small Venice like village in Giethoorn and several other places. I really loved it, thanks to all the Dutch people! Now for a challenge...
I am going to write a random paragraph in Afrikaans, let's see if you all can understand it:
"Ons was Maandag na die dam toe en dit was baie lekker daar! Toe ek by die dam was, het ek hierdie video gekyk en ek moet sê: Hierdie was 'n goeie video met 'n baie goeie persoon wat dit aanbied! Hierdie video het my geleer dat die Nederlanders baie kultuur het en dat dit awesome daar is, maar dit is net kak koud daar!"
Did you pass the test? NO GOOGLE TRANSLATE ALLOWED!
Niet zo moeilijk hoor!
Oh, not that difficult, hey? If you translated my paragraph successfully, then I congratulate you, well done!
Kindaa my family live in South Africa too
Als je het hardop uitspreekt is het te doen! ;)
@@alissa3875 Dis waar. As 'n mens dit hardop uitspreek dan maak dit meer sin (ek dink dit is wat jy probeer se).
I lived in Arnhem for a year. Chocolate sprinkles on the bread is same culture with us here in Indonesia 😁
G E K O L O N I S E E R D
Visiting the Royal Palace in Amsterdam back in 2018 was awesome! Felt like a timewarp!
Haha normaal stoor ik me echt heel hard aan Nederlanders die Engels spreken omdat weinig mensen echt fatsoenlijk Engels kunnen spreken, maar jij praat echt als een native Engelse. Leuke video!
Veerle Verhoeven ja precies, of mensen die "suppastisch" zeggen in plats van "spastisch"
Mike the Goo ja haha
Mike the Goo dat doe ik expres om mijn grammar nazi vrienden te irriteren :D
jij spreekt blijkbaar perfect engels? Ben je lerares Engels? Moet haast wel als je kritiek levert op al die klojo's die steenkool engels spreken,,,,,,,,,,,,,
hard storen is trouwens geen nederlands, het is erg storen
Your video was very entertaining and you seem like a very friendly person! I enjoyed watching it, I live in The Netherlands myself and I must say you forgot one peculiar thing about birthdays over here: When it's someone's birthday you do not only congratulate the person him/herself but also everyone in the family (and friends!)! weird huh?! At least for non-dutch people! :)
Fijne dag!
Ahh yeah that's true actually! Should write this down for when I make another one of these haha :-) thanks! X
..
Dinner at five o'clock 😮, in Italy we usually dinner between 7 and 9 o'clock 😮
HIIIIII, loved the video just watned to say that i have been to netherlands several times and my favorite place was nairobi and Harlegen, Chao.
Still with Birthdays, the Dutch congratulate close family members on their loved one making it to another year.
Rob Roy hij heeft gelijk
51.983 views, probably 90% Dutch views hahahaha
Marvin The Martian haha probably! I should probably be able to see the actual demographic for it somewhere right? 😂
watching from Costa Rica
We have those "chocolate sprinkles" in Belgium too. It's called hagelslag (granulés in French, Schokostreusel in German). In the German speaking part, where I'm from, the most common brands are Venz and Jaques.
There many Dutch in Australia,most of them come from Indonesia originally.
Nee, GEEN kaas op mijn appelstroop😂
Britt Groenewegen dat is ram lekker!
Joep Vaessen gozer ik heb dat een keer geprobeerd, dat is nog viezer dan kaas op je krentenbol doen
Wat, kaas op een krentenbol is lekker. Of alleen wat roomboter.
Kaas op mijn appelstroop zou ik ook niet willen, X Fade kaas op mijn krentebol lijkt mij ook niet lekker.
Weet nou nie wat appelstroop is nie maar kaas is lekker op enige iets
How are the Dutch people so healthy considering they have loads of deep fried foods, chocolate, cheese & sugar loaded foods.
Maybe all the cycling? Haha! I have no idea though
Perhaps that is the reason for being slim. I thought your diet would lead to coronary problems.
she did mention that we only eat 1 warm meal a day though (Belgian btw but that's practically the same)
acctually, we don't eat it that much, it's just typically Dutch, that's why she put it in tbe video i think.
We tend or at least try to fry a lot if not to say we fry everything that doesn't melt , but we don't eat fried food daily.
We have the 3 kissings on the cheek as well in Egypt. And we have the same dilemma of where it starts from 😅
I'll be going to Lochem for business soon. Good stuff to know!
OOOOOOOOH ik woon al 39 jaar in Frankrijk, wat mis ik mijn stroop en kaas en de hagelslag en de vleeskroketten en de vlaaien enz enz enz ; krijg je hier allemaal niet, bèèèèèèè ; hartelijke groetjes uit Bretagne ! Je spreekt met een zachte "G" net als ik (ik ben zuid-limburgse : Maastricht !!) By the way : jouw Engels is echt perfect hoor !
O jee nu heb ik echt heimwee ! Graag meer video's ; bedankt alvast XXX
Haha super leuke comment!! En heerlijk dat je al zo lang in Frankrijk woont, zal vast ook zijn voordelen hebben! :-) Ik mis de snacks ook altijd als ik lang niet in Nederland ben geweest haha xx
Marie Oooh! Ik was een poos geleden in Bretagne geweest, zo mooi! Veel plezier daar! (Ik heb ook medelijden met je met het eten😂👌)
Hmm Bretagne. Heel mooi daar
Marie we ben alles zuid limburgse hahaha (sorry for my poor dutch, my father never bothered to teach me)
mijn oom woont in australie hij mist drop het meest
You kiss someone on the cheek 3 times here in the USA and you're getting either hit or arrested for sexual assault. Or both.
Oh and stroopwafels FTW!!!
Probably the worst example of Dutch food. Frikandel is nicer. The Dutch do represent themselves at international food festivals. Usually with "bitterballen" A useless bunch of deep fried food.
The newspapers here say how Americans are eating stroopwafels...top basketball players digging in to that snack.
It is breadcrumbs and syrup....not the best thing you could possibly eat lol :)
The Dutch eat a lot of potatoes too. A vegetable imported from South America.
Raw herring is the way to go :)
I’ve been to Amsterdam, I have friends who are from there and I couldn’t agree more with all that you said hahaha I love Netherlands 💛💛💛
I`m just finishing my year in Maastricht and I love it :) I think it`s amazing place for living.
I visited the Netherlands last spring and I remember being so confused about the sprinkles on toast! I had honestly never heard of it before, not until I saw people eating it at the hostel I was staying at haha. Still have yet to try it myself!
Gabriella Margarita haha next time you're visiting you should definitely try it! 🙈 xx
Dont forget to first put butter on the bread and then add the sprinkles!
@@BrianEmpa I never liked butter and i'm from the Netherlands. It is pain. I just took a bite of bread and then put chocolate sprinkles in my mouth. The tiny boxes are perfect for that. Call it Dutch ingenuity.

Nee grapje
AndySounds haha I wish! 😂😂 als ze me een jaar voorraadje zouden opsturen zou ik dat in ieder geval helemaal prima vinden! 👌🏼
AndySounds goed grapje
AndySounds goed grapje!
'Rinse' is in tegenstelling tot wat velen denken geen merknaam, maar betekent gewoon '(zoet)zuur'. www.canisiusstroop.nl/faqconc/wat-betekent-het-woord-rinse/
Hi Laurie... Wow! Where do I start? I am a Texan (born and raised), but my family is Dutch so I have been going to the Netherlands for years! I do get lots of looks in the local village from the people who live there and wonder why I fly the Texas flag twice a year when I visit... and they wonder why I'm not hanging out in Amsterdam! So those were all great, here's some others you might have missed... sliding herring down your throat... COFFEE, (every time I visit, I go to see all the family and I am force-fed coffee every time, of course with exactly three cookies from the tin before it is taken away and put back in the cupboard... Pea Soup! Wow I love my bowl of snert when it is cold outside... mussels! (maybe only a big deal here in Zeeland, where I live but I eat a ton of them during the good season)... Albert Hein, (one in every major town and even in the small villages... HEMA!, (I can even do the whistle like they do in the stores; if you want to buy a bicycle tire, a tube of lipstick and a bottle of wine, you can do it at HEMA)... the sea... more than half the Dutch do some sort of water-related sport... backpacks on flagpoles when you graduate!... fritjes, every meal, in big cones with mayonnaise... just a few I can think of off the top of my head. Great video! Keep it up! Hartelijke dank!
Wow nice Engels accent 👍🏻😏
SXNDXR im ur 70th like😏
FinniBoyy ty
Wonder what her Marx accent is like.
In my country we also eat bread with chocolate sprinkles like all the time, especially for breakfast and we often bring it to school for lunch. I guess we got that from the Dutch from the colonial era. I’m from Indonesia btw. I love your videos, keep making more like this. Cheers!
And also with the deep fry in almost everything. Even egg hahaha
Medelimburger! Wat een leuke video! Your British accent is very very good. The only way I knew you were Dutch is when you started explaining the Dutch words, haha!
As an Afrikaner and Afrikaans speaker this video was quite fun to watch and see how much we still have in common with our Dutch brothers and sisters, the "rokkiedag" , "stroop met kaas" and sitting in a circle in the living room chatting was so familiar! It is most defiantly first on my list to visit the Netherlands when I visit Europe!!
That's right. You use 'ie' instead of 'je' to make things small. Love that in Africa. Gorgeous place by the way.
Omgg jou Engels accent. Just love it😍😍😍. Voor een Nederlander spreek je echt bizar goed engels!!!
I am Dutch, well, actually I was born in Suriname, but my ancestors are from Scotland. I guess that’s why I love the UK and all the English accents! I noticed your accent and I love it! Very well, almost really London English! 👍🏼😊
And about the Dutch traditions ... of course I know them and I think we should be proud of them!
Keep posting and for now ... have a really nice day! 🤗
Your hot meals are usually served in the middle so you help your self, where as in Australia you are dished out your meal.
Ooh that's a good one actually! That's interesting.
Lovely vid :) Makes me want some toast with chocolate sprinkles haha.
Grandfather was from Amsterdam and yeah we often had the chocolate sprinkles on toast.
We have something similar in Australia called fairy bread.
Your English is so good that I would never have guessed you were Dutch,
Chocolate sprinkles on toast/bread are sooo good😍 I've been to the Netherlands about two weeks ago and we took so much stuff to put on bread back to Germany😂 for example the Ovomaltine crunchy stuff is really good too😻
Oeh I've never actually tried the ovo maltine stuff, might need to whilst I'm home haha! X
thetimechanges what is Ovomaltine? Is that a Dutch thing, never heard of it.
You are from Germany? Ovomaltine comes from switzerland and we have it also her ein Germany. :)
You can buy chocolate sprinkles in Germany but you'll find them in the baking area. Cakes etc.
Ovomaltine is niet Nederlands. Wij kochten het vroeger altijd in het buitenland maar tegenwoordig verkopen ze het gewoon bij de supermarkt. Soort cacao/granen mix waar je melk op giet. Erg voedzaam en gezond. Volgens mij zit er ook wat anijs in.
Dankjewel Laurie, wat leuk! Als Nieuwe Nederlander ken ik al die dingen uiteraard wel :-). Ik ben behoorlijk Nederlands geworden, maar "rokjesdag" vind ik nog altijd vreemd en muisjes / hagelslag vind ik absoluut niet lekker. 's Morgens moet ik echt iets hartigs eten (boterham met kaas/pindakaas/salami e.d.) maar pertinent geen zoet. Toen je zei dat je uit het zuiden komt dacht ik ah!!! en toen zag ik vlaai ... dus je komt uit Limburg! Heerlijk, Limburg & Brabant zijn mijn spiritueel thuis en ik ben helemaal gek op vlaai (alleen 's morgens niet!) Vlaai is eerlijk gezegd het enig Nederlands gebak dat ik echt super lekker vind. Vruchtenvlaai niet zo, maar wel met roomvulling, room-chocoladevulling, gezouten karamel e.d. Het enige echt typisch Nederlands ding dat jij niet behandeld hebt in deze video is de obsessie met de winter en de kou. Ik geloof dat de Nederlanders het enige volk ter wereld zijn die de winter en de kou _leuk_ vinden ...! (zelf heb ik er een bloedhekel aan) Of waarschijnlijk zijn de mensen beneden de grote rivieren gewoon normaal en verstandig en hebben ze óók een hekel aan de winter?
Overigens denk ik dat het juist de mensen in Brabant & Limburg zijn die écht van lekker eten & drinken genieten, naarmate je verder naar het noorden gaat dan is er aanzienlijk minder _joie de vivre_ !
Tot slot wil ik je om je Engels complimenteren, af en toe verraad je je Nederlandse afkomst (bijv. "warm meals"), maar gelukkig spreek ik beter Nederlands dan Engels :-) Veel succes in het VK, of kan ik je beter "heel veel sterkte" toewensen? Je zult het prachtige Limburg wel heel erg missen ...
2:53 this is sooo typical family breakfast in Indonesian soap opera (and I had it as breakfast as a child) and we call those sprinkles as meses (from muisjes I think)
