Sounds like dutch to me

To my German ears it sounded definitely English, not Dutch, like a very hard to understand dialect.

amelius | karma 42902 | avg karma 1.63 · | 2019-02-06 08:22:32+00:00

Doesn't sound very Dutch either ...

Where are you all getting Dutch from? He sounds generic Euro speaking English to me.

roel_v | karma 11986 | avg karma 2.56 · | 2011-07-21 15:49:22+00:00

Sound like something a Dutchman speaking English would say.

I would not consider this representative of any Dutch accent I've heard from living in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, or Nijmegen. Nor even for the strange Zeeland Belgian accents. This sounds like an odd Russian Dutch English combination.

Dutch conversation at a distance sounds close enough to English that I have great difficulty telling them apart.

mianos | karma 1874 | avg karma 2.13 · | 2019-04-02 04:14:12+00:00

It is Dutch.

lelag | karma 1159 | avg karma 4.44 · | 2024-03-18 08:18:37

Dutch, not Belgian.

wellboy | karma 698 | avg karma 0.95 · | 2014-02-04 14:24:47

He sounds more Dutch kind of German actually.^^

brnt | karma 5750 | avg karma 2.04 · | 2020-12-04 14:50:25+00:00

100% Dutch accent. I wish we could pin it down to a teaching technique, this is just how we sound.

hpkuarg | karma 618 | avg karma 3.55 · | 2022-08-04 08:38:10

Unrelated, but it always amuses me how much Dutch sounds like drunk English ;-)

theodric | karma 1087 | avg karma 1.62 · | 2021-03-30 16:13:31+00:00

That's an excellent representation of a Dutch accent

zandor | karma 112 | avg karma 1.47 · | 2020-12-03 21:35:42

Dutch.

rattray | karma 6323 | avg karma 3.04 · | 2016-09-09 14:34:19

Ah. Perhaps it was trained on Dutch speakers, not English.

dboreham | karma 16160 | avg karma 2.32 · | 2020-10-14 02:16:16+00:00

Like Dutch to an English speaker?

diskooo | karma 16 | avg karma 4.0 · | 2016-11-18 11:00:33

The 'Dutch English' is hugely annoying...

davedx | karma 10146 | avg karma 3.49 · | 2024-05-17 08:29:37

Ha yeah I remember that part. I speak Dutch and it basically sounded like German to me? Really strange.

jessriedel | karma 20706 | avg karma 3.24 · | 2020-12-04 00:00:12+00:00

Hmm, you could be right of course, but I had a few Dutch friends in grad school and this did not remind me of their accents at all.
