This video is all about the differences between the way Dutch is spoken in the Netherlands and in the Flanders region of Belgium. Of course there are numerous dialects of Dutch spoken in both countries, so in this video I focus on the varieties spoken in daily life in non-dialectal, informal situations: Standard Dutch in the Netherlands and Tussentaal (or “between-language“) in Flanders.
Special thanks to Rafael Janssen for his Netherlandic Dutch samples, and Dries Olemans for his Flemish samples.
