@Dirt

Give us your knowledge oh great Dutch knower- yes hello I'm awkward as heck.

@Peter_Parker

Sure! Well just to begin with Dutch is one of the hardest languages in the world…

No, actually, statistics prove that it isn't no offense?

@Peter_Parker

No probs. For me it is, even tho I live in the Netherlands

@Dirt

Oof.

@Peter_Parker

So what do you guys want to learn

@Peter_Parker

Like in Dutch, you can ask me something because I don't know where to begin

@Dirt

Oof, start with numbers and the alphabet? Cuz I know in Spanish some of the letters are said like other letters and its really confusing if you don't start off the back with that kinda stuff.

@Peter_Parker

I will begin with the numbers then

@Peter_Parker

So one to ten to begin with
One -> één
Two -> twee
Three -> drie
Fout -> vier
Five -> vijf
Six -> zes
Seven -> zeven
Eight -> acht
Nine -> Negen
Ten -> tien

@Dirt

(Sorry I'm like the worst person to teach) are they all prnoused how they're spelt?

@Peter_Parker

No the e in Dutch you say like a in English

@Peter_Parker

The i in Dutch you say like the a in English
And the a in Dutch is like the e in English

@Dirt

Oh okay. That's a bit confusing. But I think I got it down.

@Peter_Parker

Yeah it is confusing but it's hard to explain

Can you just explain pronunciation first and then possibly move onto words? That might be better. Also, possibly put the pronunciation of each word down as well? No offense, I'm just suggesting ideas, nothing more.

@Peter_Parker

Alright, I will try to do my best because it will be very confusing
