Here's the first video in a series on Dutch word order. This is a topic I get a lot of questions on, and for good reason. It's not an easy topic. Since there is a lot to say about Dutch word order, I have limited myself to the basics for this video. Future videos will cover more advanced topics, so stay tuned or subscribe to the channel.

Let me know what you think!

Dankuwel. You have explained the mystery that the notorious Green Owl keeps hidden!

Bro I have been trying to learn for dutch sentence building for like two years now. People unnecessarily complicate things and it goes over my head, but you just solved the most fundamental problem for me within 10 minutes! You are a great teacher! Definitely subscribing.

"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler". - Albert Einstein.. Thanks a lot Niels for making learning dutch simple and also not simpler at the same time =) ..

[DiMo]

[soul]

FINALLY!
A good, simple, and straight to the point method to teach something that is really difficult for beginners.

Thank you very much for this video, you're awesome!
Please continue the good work :-)

I really wish you were still making content! Dutch language teachers have really taken off the last couple of years on YouTube (especially since your last videos were made), and your explanations are by far the CLEAREST among all the best content creators. This and your lightbulb moment inducing explanation of the use of "er" are two prime examples! Would love to see you return to (re-)join the ranks of the best Dutch language instructors on YouTube!

You have no idea how helpful this video is! Thank you

This guy seems ripped out of a painting from 300 years ago

I know this was posted a long time ago, but this is one of the most helpful videos I've ever watched. Sentence structure is the one thing that has constantly confused me with trying to learn Dutch and has result in many a plateau with my learning. This is a very simple breakdown that I have screenshotted a whole bunch and will re watch often as I try to commit it to memory so thank you very much for this

[Char-meqy]

This is a phenomenally good video, it's amazing how clearly you present a complex topic. I love studying languages but I always find grammar confusing, your video explained everything in a way that made sense. I'm currently learning Dutch and your videos are a joy to watch! Thank you so much!

[sandechoir]

Bedankt dit is heel handig en makkelijk manier om Nederlands te leren, ik ben hier blij mee . groetjes

[abbigalekunz]

I am spending a year abroad and have been taking Dutch lessons for about 2weeks, and nothing has helped me as much as this 11 minute video. Thank you so much this saved my life living in holland

[markjasper]

Very clear explanation of one of the most difficult parts of the language differences. Foundational.

[TBruwno]

Niels, your lesson is absolutely amazing. You took only 8 minutes to make me clearly and effortlessly understand something I've been struggling with for the last 5-6 days, reading all sorts of materials, from grammar books to academic essays on that issue.... Anyway! Thanks a lot man! 🙃
