Well done! There are some mistakes but I'm sure you will progress if you keep up like this. You speak clearly and I
didn't have a hard time understanding you! :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Coda -r is very strong, and the occasional French r mixed with the thick English r makes
for a very funny accent (the sentence rhythm is also a bit weird), but it's fully understandable and comes across as being Dutch. Coda -r is often not pronounced as strongly as in English (it doesn't really drop as in German either, though). Pay attention to that because that is the single largest giveaway of an English accent; the best solution is to just pronounce it as in French. (will make you sound like a Limbourgian I guess). Sometimes you betray having learned French (léraar, not leráar). Edited by tarvos on 03 June 2013 at 10:12am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Yeah, your Dutch is very understandable actually. I think the biggest problem you have is
that it occasionally doesn't sound idiomatic, I already mentioned a couple minor things about the pronunciation, and I noticed one or two gender mistakes (happens to everybody). Cardinal rule of Dutch stress is that it falls on the first syllable. Exceptions are: - words of foreign (usually Latinate or French origin) may have stress differently: communicátie, informátie, relátie, statión, centráal (but céntrum), garáge) - non-separable prefixes (i.e. a prefix not part of the root of the word, such as be-) is never stressed) begríjpen, but méenemen (ik neem mee vs ik begrijp) 4 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Dutch isn't as rigid as German on that matter, and you can find other exceptions that don't fall into either category, such as vriendin or even Amsterdam. The accent is on the final syllable of these words of Dutch origin, which don't have a prefix. Still I agree with you, the accent will almost always be on the last syllable, and nous les français sometimes have difficulties to get it right! 1 person has voted this message useful |
