Easy Dutch

Easy Dutch is a YouTube channel providing access to the videos published by this language learning site. 

Easy Dutch is one of several comparable sites for language learning. The Dutch spoken is quite easy and with a clear pronunciation and slow talking pace. But there is no teaching from English. As such these channels are not meant for absolute beginners. Most videos are subtitled in Dutch and English.

How to deal with the Dutch?

Other sources: On Duolingo, Dutch can be learnt from English only. Given the lengthy Dutch border with Germany, the demand to learn Dutch from German is vivid. With the high lexical similarity and an easier grammar, Dutch is the easiest foreign language for German speakers.

You can check for the lexical similarity with this multiple choice quiz where the correct Dutch word is to be guessed translating a given German word.
