Lesson 10 – weekdays + months + seasons

 

 


 

Days of the week in Dutch, months in Dutch + seasons: Video lesson 10 is about the weekdays + months in Dutch. The lesson also deals with the four seasons. Like in English: the names of the weekdays are based on the names of Germanic Gods. The names of the months have its origin in the Roman civilisation. As the names of months and weekdays are almost the same as in English; it has no sense to do a multiple choice level test at the end of the lesson. It’s probably the easiest lesson of this course! So, just make sure you get the right pronunciation, so you know how to read the calendar in Dutch.
