what a mess! :)
thank you for the enlightening me a bit. I guess I will learn to understand Dutch the same way I learnt to understand different English accents... with some year of listening. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Yeah, usually languages has several regional accents so you'd better have that in mind from the very beginning. Nobody will speak exactly the same way as anyone else. Edited by jeff_lindqvist on 01 November 2014 at 11:33pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

In Dutch the amount of variation is quite large though. In Romanian or Russian it's much
less. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

what a peculiar feature of Dutch that I was not aware of , it is especially striking for me since Dutch is spoken in a relatively small area unlike Russian which is known to be pronounced pretty much in the same way over huge territory .

Dutch has a fairly large amount of native speakers though, about 23 million, compared to
the Scandinavian languages which have even more dialects, especially Norway. Add to that that dialectical Dutch does not have the same status in the Netherlands as in Norway, and that a fair few hundred thousand actually have Frisian as their mother tongue :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Yes. But you'll be marked as a speaker of Dutch from the northern part of the country. Or
the Hague. But it's quite common to do so, yes Edited by tarvos on 11 November 2014 at 10:35am 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Great to hear it , since I am very awkard at producing the more guttural variant , if I should get around to learning Dutch I 'll definitely opt for the German like one plus the Italian R . 1 person has voted this message useful |
