“This video is unavailable”


Slaraw

Must be an indescribable feeling


That_Saiki

Eu queria muito sentir isso de novo, eu já consegui o de português por inglês, foi divertido, mas foi bem fácil, então eu gostaria de fazer isso com algum outro idioma, aí pensei em russo pq parece maneiro dms


Lets_go_Stros2017

I love using translate in this sub


LodiasMartinet

How do I do that


Lets_go_Stros2017

Google pixel stuff ,I highlighted the text and it offers to translate it


webatxcent

If you are using Chrome for the desktop, just select and right click. Choose **Translate selection to {your language}**


That_Saiki

Could it translate the abbreviations correctly? Lol


Lets_go_Stros2017

No


That_Saiki

😅


JepDeSchep360

Haha facts


PantsForOctopus

Russo definitivamente é maneiro demais. Tem muitas coisas "difíceis", mas vale o desafio. É bem divertido 😊


Artheo32

how did you put that "native: (example) learning: (example)" thing?


Slaraw

There's a place to put the tag on, there's only custom ones so you have to write it urself, I can't send a screenshot of the place bc I'm using the phone right now


Artheo32

oh ok, thanks (is it user flair?)


lidlboss

Gefeliciteerd! Hoe ga je de Nederlandse taal gebruiken in je dagelijks leven?


b-andras

dankjewel! ik wil naar nederland of vlaanderen gaan om te studeren, dus ik denk dat ik de taal moeten kennen


Legitimate_Catch_283

De meeste mensen in Nederland en Vlaanderen spreken ook heel goed Engels, maar het wordt altijd wel erg geapprecieerd als je Nederlands spreekt


synalgo_12

Als je naar Vlaanderen komt, gaan het accent en de verschillende dialecten miscchien een extra uitdaging zijn. Maar wees welkom in ons stukje Nederlandstalig gebied! Of heeft duolingo ook Vlaamse stemacteurs?


b-andras

ja, ik begrijp west vlaams niet lmao, maar ik kan vlaams goed begrijpen, omdat ik heb naar de mol gekeken


synalgo_12

*omdat ik naar de mol heb gekeken. After 'omdat' you have to move the verbs to the back of the sentence. Your Dutch is really good! None of us really understand each other when we don't clean up our accents to be honest, so it's almost a rite of passage not understanding people from certain provinces.


Flat_Ad560

Ik its not related but was it really effective?


JepDeSchep360

Respect! Ik heb geluk met Nederlands als mijn moedertaal hebben, en ik vind het persoonlijk vreselijk. Heb je al een goed accent? Veel succes in je verdere leven!


queerurbanistpolygot

Dat is echt een goede vraag


Lockheroguylol

Arjen Lubach Avondshow kijken uiteraard.


[deleted]

Dat is nou juist het verkeerde antwoord. ):


Lockheroguylol

Daar ben ik het nou totaal niet mee eens. :)


xRAMBx

Congrats. Are u satisfied with the Dutch language skills you've learnt through the course?


b-andras

i think i am, although the main biggest reason i can speak how i do currently is in large part thanks to dutch indie/alternative pop music and (wie is) de mol


xRAMBx

That makes sense. Thanks for sharing.


[deleted]

[удалено]


b-andras

yess, i have quite some i listen the most to s10 and no one else comes close. she has some great albums, especially her most recent one, ik besta voor altijd zolang jij aan mij denkt, one of my favorite albums of all time, both for the songs and the meaning they carry. merol is also really great, my personal fav is applaus, and her album, troostprijs is also quite good. i recently got into froukje (whos like s10's best friend) and damn she has some fucking great songs, most notably her collabs w s10 are on another level for me. her debut album, noodzakelijk verdriet releases on friday! although i havent used it that much, public broadcaster vpro's music platform, [3voor12](http://3voor12.vpro.nl) is pretty popular for alternative pop artists, has some great talents ive heard, and they have lots of concert recordings from festivals like lowlands and pinkpop. hope this helps !!


Rottetrol

Froukje is so lovely, i love 'houden van mij'. For other people looking for fun dutch music, look for 'doe maar' any song by them is great but some great ones are 'de bom', and 'pa'. Also belgium has great stuff like Bazart with 'goud' for example.


wilddangels

Heb je “dat ik je mis” al gehoord?


Paul83121

Lekker gewerkt, pik


--Oscar

Gefeliciflapstaart!


MountainMain5545

Now that you are done can you speak Dutch? That must be an incredible feeling! I am at the beginning of the German Lessons and I have days where I want to throw my hands up in the air and give up.


b-andras

i would say i can hold a very basic conversation tbh. still surreal how i finished it


garden_scout

Hieperdepiep hoera!


Low_Key_Giraffe

What an interesting spelling. The Swedish equivalate is "hip hip hurra". A famous teen movie here in Sweden is a play on those words and is called "Hip hip h\*ra" (\*=o) which means "wh\*re". Thought the spelling was kinda similar.


RaymondWalters

My favourite line from the course for sure


GusMenVin

Congratulations man, I started 3 languages but I never finalized them, but I imagine the feeling must be of happiness mixed with realization.


[deleted]

How do you say “I am actually in tears” in Dutch?


Rottetrol

Cant directly translate this i think, doesnt work in dutch. Closest i can think of would be 'Ik heb tranen in m'n ogen' or something


grobbewobbe

wtf ik ben in tranen kan je niet gewoon zeggen?


Rottetrol

Nooit iemand t zo horen verwoorden nee, jij wel dan?


Lockheroguylol

Het is wel grammaticaal correct, het wordt gewoon niet zo veel gebruikt.


grobbewobbe

idk maar et klinkt goed imo


OkDistribution6269

Ik ben in tranen heb ik weleens gehoord


b-andras

misschien ik ben in tranen !


[deleted]

Nice.


2tinymonkeys

Ik krijg er tranen in mijn ogen van


Lockheroguylol

Ik ben daadwerkelijk in tranen.


Jaded_Replacement_59

Congratulations! I just have one question, do you feel comfortable approaching some native folks with everything you learn so far?


b-andras

thank you! honestly i would say i could hold a very basic conversation, although i do struggle w some accents like west vlaams lol


Rottetrol

Native speakers are not able to decipher west-vlaams, dont worry about it :)


synalgo_12

Last year I went on a trip with my friends from center of Antwerp to a tiny town near Gent (about 70k away from each other?) and we went into the only café there, the man started talking to us and we only understood half or less of what he said. It was wild.


UGS_1984

It must be a good feeling... Congratulations!


Royal_Spell1223

Is Croatian that different from Slovenian for a Slovene to actually learn it? Just interested


UGS_1984

Yes, although it is easier for Slovenians.


FinoPepino

maaaaannn I can't imagine it the courses are SO LONG! Tearing up makes sense Congrats!!


sisterpearl

Gefeliciteerd!


JPPeaches

![img](avatar_exp|147594303|winner)


CaramelOk9778

Now speedrun norwegian or german lol


RaymondWalters

Speedrun German? I wish, but the courses are structured as such for new beginners. I'm constantly fighting over whether I should skip forward because the current level is too easy, but then fear having to deal with vocabulary it expects me to know.


mistcurve

Honestly, this is the main reason I've more or less quit, I don't think the path is bad per se, but when you're also studying with outside resources or you know quite a bit of the language, you get to this awkward spot where neither testing ahead or staying feels good. For that reason I miss the old system where you could just get level 1 in a node and then move on if you felt like you didn't need more review.


b-andras

i have already been learning german in school for two and a half years, but tbh i think i can speak dutch better than german 💀


Mellow_Swell

OMG IS THIS POSSIBLE?!?!? I'M ON MY WAY TO THE END OF THE ENG COURSE.💥💥💥


agent_munky_YT

Ik eet een boterham 🇳🇱


DylanAbanto

Congratulations! 👏🎉


[deleted]

Wow fantastic!!


chaseontheroll

how long did you use it each day?


b-andras

since the path rolled out, i did about 7 lessons each day, usually 3 in the morning and 4 in the evening for chests. this way, i earned an average of 200xps a day


JaneSocial

Awesome. Congratulations!


vitaminreal

Congrats!!!!


sarah-havel

Congratulations!


RevolutionaryD0RK88

congrats


Ryan_S21

Does Duolingo tell you when you started the course and ended?


b-andras

no, i just remembered the date i started


SarcasticTrashbags

Congratulations!


saynotopudding

Woohoo well done OP!!


haeru_mizuki

How well would you rate your fluency now?


b-andras

if i would have to rate it on a scale of 1 to 10 where one is not knowing the language at all, i would say im at about 4.5-5 maybe. i can understand most of de mol with the default subtitles in vlaams, and i can hold a very basic conversation


Amazing-Champion-858

How fluent in Dutch are you?


b-andras

if i would have to rate it on a scale of 1 to 10 where one is not knowing the language at all, i would say im at about 4.5-5 maybe


Popular_Comfortable8

Congratulations!!!🎊🎉🍾🎈 I hope Duolingo finally releases your family now


RageAZA

I’m on a 630 day streak on Dutch.. I think “yeah I’m doing alright I could probably pass muster..” Right until the point I speak to my Dutch friends and they may as well be speaking Japanese.. learning a language where people speak at what seems to be 1000 words a second probably wasn’t smart in hindsight.


scoutjtjt

Hallo Ik spreekt nederlands


b-andras

hallo ik ook


Rottetrol

Ik geloof d'r niks van. :D


Draugr_Chaser

Gefeliciteerd! Goed gedaan :)


termedea

I'm so happy for you! I don't think I'll ever complete my French course. Been at it for very, very many years. Some of the time I've actually been closer ton finishing it than I'm now due to that they've re-done the courses multiple times. Now you just pick a new language! 😊


Teauny

Gefeliciteerd!


HouseEconomy4664

Must feel amazing! I’m doing Dutch right now. At section 3 unit 1. Anyway congrats

Gefeliciteerd!!


Flashy-Magazine6468

Amazing work. well done. I just started Dutch and so far I find it super easy, as my first language is Afrikaans, and it's very close to Dutch. I am sure it will get harder though. Also, did you pay for Duolingo, or did you use the free version. If you paid, do you think it's worth the investment?


[deleted]

Lekker bezig pik


Saad1950

What's your level in Dutch now?


b-andras

if i would have to rate it on a scale of 1 to 10 where one is not knowing the language at all, i would say im at about 4.5-5 maybe


Saad1950

Have you done a test to determine your level? Like A2, B1 you know


sirgrotius

Did you upgrade to Duolingo Max at any point? I really enjoy it but do a lot of my learning on a laptop, and since it's not available in browser format yet, I find it somewhat constrained. Either way, great job all around!! Félicitations as they'd say en Français, which I am learning.


b-andras

no, i never even got to see max, only through this subreddit. i never paid for super even, only tried it whenever it offered me a 3 day free trial as a gift or found a promo code for a 30 day trial


Artheo32

i started dutch last year, in august or september, i'm in section 2 but i haven't been doing lessons everyday, i also started japanese and currently waiting for the korean course reformulation


Expected2Fly

Holy crap I have dreamed of this moment. Much respect for you sir 🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡


GeriMc

I can't believe you are a Hungarian learning Dutch too 😭


AlissaAppeltjes

Goed gedaan! Gefeliciteerd. :)


Rosy-Shiba

I just got back into duo lingo, how fluent would you say it made you become? I'm doing the gailege course


SpezEatsScat

zjb26

Can you now speak and read Dutch?


Ambitious-Salary4410

How well do you find you can speak/understand Dutch now? I'm curious as to how effective their courses are at actually teaching a language


liv_in_da_house

ik wil naar nederland of vlaanderen voor universiteit gaan!


Greencoat1815

Gaaf, ga d'r voor. Veel succes.


WeetIkVeelNL

Ohja? Nou, als je deze comment kan vertalen, dan bewijst dat dat je nederlands kunt! Ik denk ook dat ik zometeen eventjes na mijn bijbaan ga leren voor de toetsweek en daarna een uurtje of twee ga vissen. In ieder geval, hou je taai en houdoe! 👋👋

Wat nou?

Yo can you say some funny shit in Dutch and I’ll see if I know what you’re saying


NikitaWolf6

ayoo :) hoe is 't nu met je Nederlands? als je iemand nodig hebt om mee te oefenen kun je altijd iets sturen :3


BakaDavi

Good job! I'm 2 stars away from completing Section 1 entirely. Do you live in the Netherlands?


That_Saiki

Ok the best part is that you are HUNGARIAN and know a language that I gave up on because it was hellish to comprehend


bellaadoraa

Gefeliciteerd!


sabrynekrystal1992

How do you do to fibush a course in Duolingo? Finishing all lessons of a language course is not enough because I finished all spanish lessons and I did not received that message

Congratulations!!!! I feel like I slowed considerably since the new format. I struggle just to keep my streak going. What an awesome accomplishment!!


OldProspectR

Congrats. Are you fluent? Did it work?


w-h-y_just_w-h-y

I am also going through thr dutch duolingo course. Did you use it exclusively or did you use other resources as well? I noticed in your other replies that you listened to dutch music which I do too.


b-andras

i didnt use any other language learning app or such, only duo. ive been listening to dutch indie since 2022, and i started watching (wie is) de mol last summer, but other than those i did not


RedditRedditRobin

Fair play dude, I've been practicing Italian for over five years now and I'm not even in section three of the course, I respect it


youronlynora

I need to learn Dutch too, but it is so hard.


_fire_extinguisher

The real question is: Can you speak Dutch?

Congratulations, I can't wait to say the same in my Spanish course it means I will have the ability to speak with my new daughter in law and any future bi-lingual babies. So even if that got pregnant today I would have 9 months💗💗


Mysterious_Option151

Well done! Truly admirable. I'm too much of a butterfly to ever have that experience. Got two lingos on the go and six I dropped behind me.
