English is not God's language, if you wanna add emphasis onto anything, you pretty much have to swear, or your options are very limited.

>>15921
you can easily emphasize without cursing
it's just that your vocabulary is shit, bud

english is a rude niggerfaggot language because there's no formal second person pronouns

Do ESLs really, and I mean really think this? Are you completely and utterly serious? God speaks in English, English English in particular, none of that transatlantic rubbish, and certainly not some barbaric tongue spoken north of France. Look it up! Undeniable FACT.

well, did you do it?

Oh yeah btw if you are going to try and use videogames as input make sure they're mostly text based or else you'll just get distracted by the game itself and learn absolutely nothing.
Here are some visual novels with dutch translations if you like or are willing to put up with weeb shit

Is anyone else still on this or is it literally just me talking to myself like a madman?

I'm starting to work on it this week.

Man, many of these prepositions seem redundant. Aan/Op seems like it's going to be a pain to get down.

Dutch language is actually a psyop in order to expand Netherland's influence on the world stage

I met a Dutch girl at the pub yesterday and tried to speak Dutch to her like I learned from this thread. She told me I had a heavy Belgian accent. Am I doing something wrong or has 'zellig just poisoned my pronunciation?

>>18121

I don't know how long you've been learning Dutch but this isn't too bad. A more correct sentence would be: "Houdt er iemand van om vrienden op Duolingo te zijn?" or "Zou er iemand vrienden op Duolingo willen zijn?". Keep it up!

Why shouldn't I give up on this?

>ywn hear mymy correcting your shitty foreigner broken dutch and then saying "work on your dutch.." in a berating tone

xis is indeed very sad, albeit just buy some indo gf and it'll be basically the same experience do not worry

yes you need kanji if you're going to learn japanese

Kind of unrelated but I'm learning dutch and sharing my hecking journey or whatever in >>22531

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.

Here's the '1000 Common' I was talking about:

Never give up on Dutch. Remember why you're doing this. Good luck, Zaryans.

Update:
When I'm lifting, I like to browse Wikipedia in between sets. Recently, I got the idea to start browsing the Dutch Wikipedia instead. Now, I'm getting more exposure. I recommend this tactic for other gymgoers. If you're not a gymgoer, you better start ASAP so then you can defend evropa.
Another tactic I like to use (since I'm on my computer 24/7) is to set my computer locale to Dutch and to have all my software in Dutch.
I'm improving my vocabulary, but I'm stagnating with regard to listening, speaking, and pronunciation. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could recommend some cartoons, movies, or telly shows that use simple Dutch. Preferably without many characters from the south; I'd hate to pick up a B*lgian accent.
I did not put an arrow because I look like this and speak exactly like this.

lovely lad keep going

At risk of sounding like an idiot I've been watching episodes of "Het Klokhuis" for a while now which is quite simple dutch, comes with dutch subtitles, has about a gorillion episodes and all around is a relatively interesting watch (hetklokhuis.nl)

one interesting topic can lead you to more interesting topics and before you know it you have only thirty minutes before your history presentatie is due

any reccomendations for (preferably free) basic reading material in dutch like grades readers, children’s books, or anything

>>29619
Dikkie Dik is good stuff if you can find online examples
Jan, Jans en de kinderen. Its a comic so you get visual context with it
Both I saw on Internet Archive

being a gymgoer lifter isn't the ideal hobby for such. Go to a Muay Thai/BJJ/MMA gym, although you can't browse the Dutch Wikipedia in between sets, since you'll look weird if you browse your phone in every 1min interval (if you get one that is)

Ideal would be 5 hours od Dutch study per day combined with both the gym and a martial art + don't forget to rewatch Ongezellig in its entirety before sleep
