    Nice blog! Handy tips. Dutch is not an easy language to learn, but with some help and practice, you can pronounce the sch really quick!

    I haven’t found my learning of Dutch very progressive. Lots of learning de and het words, and still getting it wrong with a lot of words. A thousand most common words, which ends up being more like 1500+ words when using various resources. A lot of watching youtube videos on pronounciation of g, r sch and dipthongs. I can hear the sound native speakers make, with some words, but reproducing what I hear is extremely difficult with some words. Word order is horrendous. If you want to feel like a dunce try working out Dutch word order in complex sentences. I found a good resource but it seems very technical. I am sure I could work my through it but how many years do I want to devote to it. When I learnt English as child I don ‘t remember learning clauses, past participles, modals, auxialiries, demonstratives, etc. Surely this is not how Dutch children are taught. All in all I have found Dutch maddening, sole-destroying and good way to feel like a complete and utter dunce. I haven’t enjoyed what I have learned at all.
