@@AnyoneCanTravel Yes, the Dutch language spells a lot of vowel sounds differently than we do in English, but the upside is that the link between sound and spelling is much more consistent in Dutch. The long a sound (like you're saying for Leiden) is usually spelled "ee" in Dutch, as in "veel" (many), "een" (the number 1) or Amstelveen. My husband and I are moving to Leiden soon. :)
Nice video. For info: the Dutch "ei" in Leiden is pronounced like a long I in English e.g. bite; not like a long A.
Thanks for the tip (and being polite about it)! I kept finding conflicting info so good to have an answer 😊

@velovoice47 I hope you have a wonderful trip to your new home! Sounds like a great adventure! ❤️
It's so pretty! I don't know if it's the music or cinematography, or both, but this just felt so relaxing. I would love to visit the market!
I love markets! They so fun and I feel like they give you a peek into the locals lives.
Till it Rains 💀
Just be prepared and you’ll be fine 😊
Leiden is in fact NOT a ¨mini Amsterdam"
Thanks for the comment 😊
It does look like a mini Amsterdam. What was the best thing you got at the market?
Definitely the mini pancakes! So yummy 😋
Leiden is very beautiful. I think a lot of people prefer leiden above amsterdam, because it is less crowded.
That’s true! Less crowds is always a good thing especially in beautiful destinations like Leiden. 😊
