This is a Dutch vocabulary lesson in a series of 40 videos, with each video lesson containing 25 Dutch words, a course with the goal to speak Dutch, developed by Bart de Pau "1000 most common words in Dutch".

The Dutch course (cursus Nederlands NT2) is aimed at beginners, who want to learn Dutch vocabulary fast. Of each word, you see the Dutch word and the English translation, and a picture. For learning Dutch pronunciation, each word is repeated twice.

Best way to study the Dutch language lessson is:
- watch the video 1 or 2 times
- do the test; repeat it if you made mistakes
- no mistakes in the test - then go to the next lesson

This course deals only with vocabulary. Learning a language is more than that!

I live in the UK and recently married a Dutch guy who lives in the UK too. I'm trying to learn Dutch to be able to speak to his family and friends when I go to Holland. I'm really enjoying your videos and have just bought your grammar course. Thanks so much for your materials, they're fantastic!

Hoi Bart. Bedankt voor de uitstekende bron. Je maakt leren leuk en interessant. Ik ben reisleider in Zuid-Afrika en leer Nederlands zodat ik beter kan samenwerken met gasten uit Nederland en België.

I am learning Dutch because I am half Dutch myself and have always wanted to learn. However soon I am getting married to a Dutch man so it's extra motivation to learn Dutch well so I can communicate with his family :-)

I wanted to learn some Dutch for something I was working on, then found I liked it so much that I started studying it. I´m a Politics graduate, serial migrant, and freelance journalist. My great-grandfather was Dutch; his surname was DeGroot, and one of my great-grandmothers was Romany. I was born in England but left long ago and have no links there. Britain has also become embarrassing, of course - nothing to do with me. My only living family are both Irish. I´m really enjoying your excellent courses.

I am Italian and learning Dutch because I was relocated in Amsterdam from the company I work for. The company is American and everybody speaks English here, but since I live here I would like to integrate even better and learn the culture and the language. And your videos are so nice for both since you also explain the culture! Btw nice family Bart! so many teachers!!! :)

I moved to Canada in 1952 from Friesland I'm trying to learn the language as I have't used it in many years. This is a great resource for me.

[gellidanielle]

The seven who disliked this video are people who were studying the Dutch language but eventually, their Dutch partners dumped them lol. Jk. 😂 I just could not think why people would dislike a very helpful video.

And yep, learning this language because my boyfriend is a Dutch. ❤️

Hi sir Bart, You are a really good Dutch teacher.

[chungyang]

Dear sir Bart, your Dutch online course is a great help for me, as I am preparing for Basic Civic Integration Examination Abroad. I'm in the initial stage. However, I am impatiently looking forward to joining your Dutch language school in 2023. I do not have anyone but I just love the Netherlands because it embraces all walks of life. The Netherlands is my dreamland and my only destination.
