Talking About Your Occupation – Part 1
Hi everyone, I’m Thomas hallo dai, ik ben Tomas. Welcome to the Dutch Whiteboard Lessons. In this lesson you’ll learn to explain your occupation to someone. Let’s get started. Ok, let’s look at the vocabulary. First we have the Dutch word for police officer politieagent. politieagent. Next up the Dutch word for lawyer, which is advocaat. advocaat. The Dutch word for doctor is pretty easy dokter. The Dutch word for student is written exactly the same, but the pronunciation is slightly different student. Then the Dutch word for accountant, which is identical accountent. Gets a little trickier with the Dutch word for nurse. Let’s have a look, we have two options. One is verpleger. The other option is verpleegster. A barista in Dutch is a barista. A teacher, however, is a leraar. The Dutch word for firefighter brandweerman. The Dutch word for chef or cook is kok. And finally the Dutch word for engineer comes from the French ingenieur. Let’s look at the dialogue. Ben je leraar? Are you a teacher? Nee, ik ben geen leraar, ik ben student. No, I’m not a teacher, I’m a student. You’ll notice that there is no distinction in gender in these sentences. Now let’s look at some speaking examples. Nee, ik ben geen brandweerman, ik ben politieagent. No, I’m not a firefighter, I’m a police officer. Nee, ik ben geen brandweerman, ik ben politieagent. Nee, ik ben geen accountant, ik ben advocaat. No, I’m not an accountant, I’m a lawyer. Nee, ik ben geen accountant, ik ben advocaat. Nee, ik ben geen verpleegster, ik ben barista. No, I’m not a nurse, I’m a barista. In this list, the only term that has an explicit distinction between feminine and masculine forms is verpleegster. Verpleegster is the version applied to women. The masculine version is verpleegster verpleegster. Brandweerman literally has the word for man in it, but this word does not have a feminine equivalent in Dutch. Let’s look more closely at the sentence pattern that is repeated in all these examples. Nee, ik ben geen occupation A ik ben occupation B. Have you noticed? Compared to the English, in Dutch we don’t use articles when stating your profession. In English we say, I am a lawyer but in Dutch it’s ik ben advocaat. -

Saying Where You’re From – Part 1
Hi everyone, I’m Thomas, hallo daar, ik ben Thomas. Welcome to the Dutch Whiteboard Lessons. In this lesson, you’ll learn to say where you’re from in Dutch. Let’s get started. Let’s look at the dialogue. When I read, I want you to pay attention to the structure. See how it’s used in the dialogue to express your origin. Waar kom je vandaan? Where are you from? Ik kom uit Assen. I’m from Assen. Now let’s look at the sentence pattern. This pattern will be the structure that all our examples will follow. Ik kom uit place. In English, I’m from place. Okay, let’s look at the vocabulary. This time it’s a short list because the expression is always the same. Ik, I. Next up, kom, come, kom, kom, kom. Uit, from, uit, uit, uit. And finally, vandaan, which also means from, vandaan, vandaan, vandaan. Now let’s look at some speaking examples. Ik kom uit Rotterdam. I’m from Rotterdam. Ik kom uit Rotterdam. Next up we have, ik kom uit Limburg. I’m from Limburg. Ik kom uit Limburg. Ik kom uit Nederland. I’m from the Netherlands. Ik kom uit Nederland. You will notice from the vocabulary that there are two Dutch words for from. One of them is uit and the other one is vandaan. What’s the difference? Well, in this case, vandaan is only used in combination with the word waar or where, meaning where from. In this case, where are you from? Waar kom je vandaan? Since vandaan is used in combination with waar, it follows then that it’s also used in combination with there, daar, and hier, hier. Waar vandaan? Daar vandaan. Hier vandaan. Hier vandaan. -
