You were not joking about the accent. I imagine I sound similar, maybe slightly less bad.

That accent is nowhere near as strong as Dutch accents I’ve met while working and living in the Netherlands. Lol.

Some have had, ‘shhh’, so randomly in places (not just where the letter ‘s’ should be), I ‘ve wondered if they were doing it for laughs. Like , ‘so’ becoming, ‘shhoshhhh’.

Not nearly as strong as some I’ve come across in Nijmegen, Utrecht, Eindhoven, Helmo nd, etc...

tbh....i think thats not so much down to where they are from as it is to how educated they are (less so nowadays as i swear every kid now has an american adjacent accent)

also how long ago they learnt to speak english...

kind of a shame really...a proper thick dutch accent is hilarious

I thought maybe it was a regional thing at the time.

But ye’, so true. I mean, ‘yeshhh, sho true’.

Just watch the video again at roughly 0:19. That’s where I got my ‘wotter’ from.

They build bridges to last 100 to 120 years. Big deal!  In the past they lasted centuries.

Ye’, when ever I hear wotter though, mentally I hear Wouter who worked briefly in the factory I did in Helmond.

Man, that was a surreal day.

Hey, they’ve only reclaimed this land from the sea decades ago.

While there is a large variance in dialects (Limburgs, Achterhoeks, Friesch, etc) for such a small county, those regional differences affect the speaker’s Dutch accent much less than their education and experience speaking English.

My Dutch accent is entirely gone and probably has been for most of a decade (left 18 years ago). No- one here knows I’m foreign unless I tell them, usually when they see my name and wonder where it’s from. I have an English accent in my Dutch now though, which is mildly embarrassing. :)

I’ve been told my Dutch and Polish, though limited as they are, are almost native, but then I’ll say something that trips me up.

I just thought it was regional.
