This is for Dutch Learners
An alternative to Vocabulary Lists
What is Narrow Listening?
Narrow listening is listening to lots of material based on the same subject. An example will be watching 10 videos on the weather.
Why?
Listen to lots of material on the same subject will mean lots of repetition of vocabulary. This makes it easier to guess the meaning of words. Also you get to hear the words in context.
How?
Google translate can give you the basic words you need to do a search. I do my searches on Youtube.
For Best Results.
Watch videos on things that really interest you. Also, if you know the subject well in your own language, then it will make it easier to learn in another language. Remember fun (interest) makes you learn faster.
It was much harder finding groups of similar videos in Dutch than it was in English. Anyway, below are a few examples.
Some Examples
Veggiebende is a channel on vegetables. There are several videoes on the life of a plant. I find these very easy to understand. There are 26 videos on the Channel but some videos are not in Dutch - best to skip these.
">
RatatouilleTV have 100s of videos online. They have lots on Amsterdam.
Amsterdam Museum
Bruyters is a channel that have makeup demostrations and videos related to Miss Belgium. I've only seen one video in this servies.
