What does the Netherlands Dutch language sound like to you?

It's very forced Dutch though. They are reading the language and speaking it too stressed. They're native speakers, but it's difficult for many people to just speak randomly to a person not understanding you, I guess. Hence the unnatural language.

Here is a Dutch comedy film from 1986.

For me they ALL sound like having hoarse throat

How about Belgian Dutch?



Or Dutch from the Southern Netherlands (North Brabantian)?

Sound strange. When I hear dutch I first think South Africa.

All the same, this language seems to affect your voices

I like the Dutch people a lot, and I like the sound of their language. Some parts sound similar to English words, and other parts sound closer to German.

Sounds like the rattle of rusty water pipes.

At least you realise it's the same language. Foreigners after think we speak different language, because it sounds differently. Even our accents in English are different.
