Thank you for creating these videos. The pictures of the tongue location for pronunciation was incredibly helpful. There is much to learn in this language besides vocabulary, verb tenses and sentence structure.

Starting my Dutch journey soon. It would be my first non native language of English. This helps so much as I try to learn pronunciations before even learning any vocabulary at all! I don’t want to form bad pronunciation habits and this is a great start for figuring out words on my own.

I was amused to hear how you said "pronunciation" at 14:08. I have spent some time training my dutch wife to put a schwa into the second syllable of the English. Teaching her to pronounce "pronounce", and "pronunciation" in my mid-west radio reference dialect. :) I certainly enjoyed this short video and your dutch 3 part series. It answered several of my questions. I find it aims directly at my trained linguist's sensibility while keeping a rushed learner's practicality.

I am Brazilian!
I’ve had my first contact with the IPA learning English and now it has been very helpful with my Dutch learning as well :D

Thank you!

It's more complex than I thought to be, expecting a spelling reform xx.

[manuelasantos]

I liked but it could be a little bit slower would be much better

[TonyNes]

_verpleegster_ ... That's a big word to pronounce!

[jesterty]

Any chance you would ever do a series on Afrikaans?

[zanewood]

And that's why some languages are phonetic entirely

The "gn" is pronounced like Italian "gn" as in "signor", e.g. Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie [kɔmpɑˈɲiː]
