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?

For spoken language learning, nothing beats the Pimsleur method. Easily found by those, who sail the high seas
Upvote not because of girl but because it’s an interesting situation however I do concede I clicked first because of girl
the spirit is willing but the flesh is spongy and weak. lol
Perfect photo. Imagining OP to be the cashier. “Time to learn Dutch”
Ayo?! This comments section!
now you will give me a discount
okay? 👍
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.
Well, some say Dutch is just German but drunk …
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.
At the end of the day, it’s all in our heads anyway.
I will try that out. If there is a study about that… on Lemmy?! It has to be true!
If you have money and time, use Preply.
For now I’m trying to find something for free. I guess I will stick to the Anki card decks. But also thank you for recommendation!
I used to work for a publisher in the Netherlands called Coutinho, they specialize in second language acquisition and have some excellent materials on Dutch. Probably not for free, though.
Ok. I will also check this one. For now I wanted to start for free meaby later would spend some money to learn being more fluent in talking to another person.
I’ve started using Dutch in 3 Months, by Hugo. Ignoring the timeframe the title gives, it seems decent because it has an app alongside it for hearing the pronunciations of each word, so you learn to speak and read essentially at the same time.
I got my book online.
Thanks for recomendation. I will check that out
Regarding European languages one can never go wrong with the Assimil series so I’d check that first (it’s available on annas-archive as a zip archive with the audio files included). You can make a solid base with just Assimil, but you can also include anki decks or grammar drills corresponding to your current level to progress at a brisk pace.
