Hi. I’m wondering if anyone could recommend a good way to learn Dutch. A few months ago, I came across this website How to learn Japanese from tofugu. It recommended learning hiragana, basic kanji pronunciation, how to pronounce characters, and everything related to mnemonics in order to remember everything as well as possible.

I wonder if anyone could recommend a good way to learn Dutch? Perhaps someone who is currently learning it or has a favorite set of Anki flashcards or a YouTube channel worth recommending?

    There was a study posted to Lemmy recently that showed that it is easier to pronounce Dutch while being drunk.

      I’m very hard of hearing and was at a pub in the Netherlands. I Dutch guy said something to me in a noisy room and it sounded exactly like I had misheard something spoken in English.

        I’m Norwegian and if I’m drunk and talking with an equally drunk dutch guy, we can keep a conversation going just fine.

        Of course, it might be that we’re both so drunk that we think we’re having a conversation.

      I will try that out. If there is a study about that… on Lemmy?! It has to be true!
