how are those in red pronounced?

 

well the 'oe' sounds like the 'ou' in noun

'aa' sounds like 'i' hi

'gewoon' is harder for telling but I'll try 'oo' is like 'auw' in wauw but I don't know how to explain the 'ge' :(

'slecht' has the same 'e' as gewoon and it sounds like the french word 'te' 'ch' is hard to say 'cause I know french people can't say it and neither can english :(

'jouw' sounds the same as 'how' but with a 'j'

Whoa, it's pretty hard learning from here. :wreck:

 

 

 

How is the c pronounced? :thinking:

 

"ç" sounds like "s"

yep

So it's like sa va? :thinking:

 

Yeah that's it but only idiot french people wrote "sa va?" because it sounds good but that's not write in the good way. :P

I didn't put some thingy on top of the ni hao though that would make it more precise. (I don't know how)

Ohhh! So more appropriately would be

ça va

:wacko:

haha in dutch we don't have accents only on words that come from french or other languages :P

Ohhh! So more appropriately would be :wacko:

 

Yeah but usually it's the only way to write it but french people prefer sa va sometimes because they think it's more shorter but it doesn't. :thinking:

Ohhh. AH, so that thingy on top of the letters are called accents. Yipeeee

 

But Dutch have their own way of pronouncing right?

So are there any accents on ni hao ?

:thinking:

Ohhh. AH, so that thingy on top of the letters are called accents. Yipeeee

yes we have but you hear clearly the difference between a dutch person or a belgian person :P

So are there any accents on ni hao ?

 

Yeah, wait, I'll try to get them.
