Markup /zellig/26369
Comment
I just started learning today. What I'm doing right now is reading de Bijbel in Dutch at https://www.wordproject.org/bibles/nl/01/1.htm . I'm reading, and I don't translate/look up anything. I just try to guess the meaning with my knowledge of English, 'zellig, Genesis, some Rammstein I've listened to, and what I remember from browsing the 1000 Common. I record the words I think I know in a text file, making sure to leave myself an indication of how confident I am with my definition of each word. After I get through one chapter, I read the chapter again, letting myself translate the words I don't know this time. I update the file, read through the file, try to memorize the words, and then repeat it all on the next chapter. With this method, learning is actually kind of fun. I feel like I'm cracking some kind of code, making the most out of my limited knowledge-- and it's exciting. <het reddit space Here's the '1000 Common' I was talking about: https://www.learndutch.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/e-book-lesson-1-20-1000DutchWords.pdf Some other links: https://4chanint.miraheze.org/wiki/Dutch# https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/Dutch https://nl.wiktionary.org/wiki/WikiWaoordenboek:Hoofdpagina Never give up on Dutch. Remember why you're doing this. Good luck, Zaryans.
