How to turn 'hij' into '-ie' (heeft-ie een nieuwe fiets?) and when to use 'him' for objects. In this episode I teach you how to pronounce 'hij' as a REAL Dutchie. Because the textbook teaches you one thing, but when going into the wild you might encounter some really different sounds. 'Mumble your way into Dutch' is my motto and that is what we encounter here also.

Are you new to the Dutch learning journey?

I created the ⁠free Dutch Survival Guide⁠ to help you to kickstart your Dutch learning adventure. It will give you the tools you need when you first arrive in The Netherlands, or when you’ve decided it’s time to learn some Dutch (YAY awesome!).

The goal of this ebook is to make you feel comfortable, and help you understand what’s happening around you in this wonderful—but also very peculiar and tiny—country. 🧡

It the ebook you find useful phrases (ordering in a restaurant, vocabulary in the supermarket, asking for help etc.), five important things to know about the Dutch and an overview of the national holidays and traditions.
