    Default The Dutch Language

    OMG!
    I just saw some Dutch videos on YouTube, and OMG! Sometimes the language sounded soft and pretty, but most times, it sounded like slurping and slurring!
    lol, I know there are a lot of native Dutch speakers on this board, does English sound like that too you? When I hear German, Chinese, Russian, and most other languages (except Finnish), they sound very natural, but Dutch just sounded like slurring to me. :P (no offense to any Dutch speakers, that is just my perception)

    I am going to post a YouTube link to the Dutch version of DWD. Could a Non-Dutch speaker please tell me if it sounds the same to you?

    I want to go to Fragony's Holland.


    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

    Sounds southern. Bunch of papisten.

    Edit: Fragony, isn't it more like this nowadays?
