My name is Jovie and I am an American Expat Mama living in and LOVING The Netherlands. On Tuesdays On Tuesdays I make educational videos about aspects of Dutch life in English. On Thursdays, I post a random video - anything and everything from cleaning and organizing to cooking and talking about mom-related issues.

My goal is to help people who are new to The Netherlands navigate different aspects of the Dutch system. I also enjoy sharing my love of The Netherlands with Dutch viewers and chatting with you in the comments about this great little country.

Won't you come on over, kick off your shoes and stay a while?

What is even funnier is that the vice-mayor is a Loco-Burgemeester.

I love these kinds of videos! Never in my life did I saw you can say a simple word as "toegang" as toe-gang in English hahahha! My name is Puck and when somebody says a single "f*ck" out loud I'm always doubting if they are calling me 😂😂

In Sri Lanka we have an ethnic group called "Burghers", descendants of Europeans (Portuguese, Dutch and British) settled in Sri Lanka many centuries ago.

Another funny story is about Dutch PM Joop den Uyl who told an American that we are a nation of undertakers. He literally translated the word ondernemer (businessman.)

[nilisstaal]

When I was young, I had a job beside school. The name of my boss was Dick Kok, was in big letters on the stand. I loved to see the tourist faces😂😂

[dudie]

I almost died laughing here.😂 I never realized some of those words where funny for an English person but now you pointed it out. And I have to admit that your pronunciation of those words was funny too, 10 points for the effort👍

An RAF veteran is giving a talk to a class of school children, and was trying to explain what a typical mission would be like.

"So there I was, escorting the bombers to their target, when out of the blue we were attacked by a bunch of Fokkers. There were about 20 of these Fokkers. One took out my buddy, but I managed to shoot the Fokker down. Then one was on my tail and I coukdn't shake the Fokker, but my pal took care of him. Then I took out two more of the Fokkers..."

The teacher interupts "Children I should explain, the Fokker was a type of figher airplane used by the German Air Force to stop the RAF bombers and their escorts."

"Yes, but these Fokkers were Messerschmitts!"

[MomsDiary]

Oh my😂😂😂 I can't even spell those words to say which ones I loved. But there is one that killed me literally, that was fokker and the things that followed that...😂😂😂
