Course Information
Course Overview
Become better at Dutch by learning the ins and outs of grammar rules and listen to examples that illustrate their uses.
Grammar of a language can get pretty complicated. And yes, there are many exceptions to the rules. However, knowing the grammar rules in a language can help you understand their logic. You see, each language has a certain logic to it, and that logic may vary from the language you speak, so in some cases, it's important to change your mindset to comprehend why they talk the way they do.
In Dutch, they do things a little differently than in English too. One example is inversion, which is when toss the verb in certain sentences all the way to the back of the sentence. Other sub-topics that will be addressed in this course are conjugations, superlatives, opposites, adjectives, the past tense of verbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and so much more.
The idea is to give you a basic comprehension of all the odd, strange, basics of the Dutch grammar that they use. Some of these things may seem controversial at first but seem to all add up to a smooth language later.
Aside from this, be prepared to be taught by someone who grew up in the Netherlands and speaks the language fluently. I’ve spoken Dutch for more than 30 years every day and am now teaching it to my kids as well, even though I’ve moved to the United States. This way, there will be no doubts about pronunciation or confusion of the grammar rules I am teaching you.

Well let me see where to start. - Poor editing. It either abrubtly ends or somehow re-starts. - Way too fast, man you are not meant to teach a language. - "It's simple"? Not until you explain it enough. - Too many cringy pictures about beautiful girls etc. You know there are many different beautiful things. - Not enough excersises to actually grasp what you said. Sadly there isn't much choice on udemy on this language. So I do hope this will improve.
