I don’t sympathise with colonisers and one of the most prolific slave traders in history What language did they make their colonies/slaves speak? Also rich expats don’t need to speak Dutch, money speaks for itself

Okay, and now try it in Dutch I won’t laugh
Comment from : @sjakrijnen

Amsterdam is one big trash like Berlin Overtourism and mass migration destruction
Comment from : @Pan-eb7yg

Learn Dutch than you wont have as mutch problems whit these things that make sense when your going to live in the Netherlands I also think that speaking English should be somewhat discouraged because in the Netherlands it is expected that Dutch is the main language When I go to Ameika I do not expect to meet anyone who speaks Dutch, so that is why I would adapt if it is comes to language and norms and values

I am a Basque-Spaniard who lived two times on the Netherlands (6 months and 6 months) I did realized quite quick that I would have to start leatning Dutch in order to live full-time in the country, which is the way it has to be Dutch is beatiful language and the locals were very friendly and helpful with me Englisj should be just for bussiness and to get by, otherwise one wants to soeak its own language and not English There is no more great thing than speak your own language in your own country and not invasive languages bring outsiders

Comment from : @shanekopacka2945

Are there still Dutch living in Amsterdam🤔brFor sure no "echte Amsterdammer" still lives in AmsterdambrBut actually the Netherlands is not Dutch anymore and expats determine how the Dutch are and how they have to act
Comment from : @renzegaillard7262

I loved the lady struggling with Dutch And I hate the comments about her problems with Dutch This people obviously missed that she’s doing all she can I suppose she doesn’t have the money to use something online, or a private teacher
Comment from : @jannetteberends8730

I'm so surprised how bad the first two respondents are Very not representativebrHousing maybe, but language - come on Google translate exists
Comment from : @AleksandrUmnov

so what i’ve learned so far is that ,here in the US housing is too expensive, in a lot of european countries , housing is unavailable
Comment from : @jarvisbartholomew2535

Amsterdam is an awful city
Comment from : @JimmyStiffFingers

Amsterdam is not the Netherlands, just as Rome is not Italy, and London is not England Those foreigners (and Amsterdammers) who only know Amsterdam, know little about the Netherlands They make subjective generalizations about ''Dutch'' life, culture, etc etc, but they only know about Amsterdam, which is absolutly not typical of the rest of the country and the rest of the population This site, The Movement Hub, is based upon a completely false assumption
Comment from : @cosimo7770

What the locals probably hate: immigrants who call themselves "expats" and are dumb enough to assume they don't need to learn the language
Comment from : @ropeburn6684

Please go home totaal Nederland come back
Comment from : @thijspastoor3816

ma'am with all due respect, but if you are moving to a country, you learn the language There is no if or but about this, you learn the language You could be moving to Georgia, South-Africa, Australia even, you learn the language It's common courtesy
Comment from : @AnymMusic

The fact that nobody tells you how much you need the language is actually very true for most of the expats Literally back in my home country, Netherlands has been portrayed as a very expat friendly country with 99 of the population speaking english It’s a huge advertising happening especially coming from International Universities from Netherlands Like if we wanted to study abroad, after the Brexit, the only good option was advertised to us as being NL I’m not joking The gouverment should stop it The research done on the google says the same, like I completely understand the fact that it’s not uk, the native language is not english but the problem is bigger than this argument
Comment from : @donatelladinica545

The weather!brIt generally sucks in The Netherlands 😵‍💫
Comment from : @MrOoofah

The negative aspects of living in the netherlands is not for them but for the Dutch people It overcrowded here and it would be nice if their comes a wave that people would be activated to leave again back to their own country (I dont mean really sad immigrands from sad countries I mean people who come here just for fun and 'it is so nice here ')
Comment from : @willemdederde6669

How was that last guy pronouncing his R so hard? Is that a Flemish or Belgian thing? Or is he a secret American or Scandinavian?
Comment from : @geisaune793

If you don’t like it here, please leave There are too many of you anyway
Comment from : @judiklettenmeijer854

For English speakers Dutch is NOT a difficult language to learn Studies showed it (comparing the time it takes to get a certain level) Even Dutch people think it is difficult because the grammar for Dutch as a 2nd language is different in many perspectives from what we had to learn So we can not explain the mistakes foreigners make Especially for the high skill immigrants, it is very doable
Comment from : @saraiahhogendike664

It's difficult to find a house for expats because of the language barrier It's also difficult for dutch people to find a house and they would understand the ramifications of renting or buying There are just not enough house available

Comment from : @gilauth6791

Even the Dutch don't like to live in Amsterdam lmao
Comment from : @AzeroxDoomraider

I went to Italy Everything was in Italian and no one spoke Dutch so rude 😂
Comment from : @pluut9722

Also, the Netherlands is not just Amsterdam, so you could always move to other cities (yes, there's many more cities than just Amsterdam in the Netherlands ;)brbrActually, the rest of the Netherlands considers Amsterdam to be a city-sized tourist resort/souvenir shopbrI only visit Amsterdam when there's a concert at the Ziggo Dome
Comment from : @remc0s

Conclusie expats zijn gewoon dom
Comment from : @wirovanas3317

Amsterdam is no eurodisney we like the city back, and please don t walk on the byke lane youre silli people in Amsterdam we ( byke) rule the town
Comment from : @Gerrit56

Move to Netherlands and complain there’s no hot sunny beach and that one should learn a foreign language How shocking!😂 Some people should just sit in a sofa watch reality shows eat fast food and stay in their comfort zone😂

Comment from : @panipuszkins9348

Isn’t every city centre crowded and hectic?brbrIsn’t moving to any country a struggle with language? I mean if you work in communications you can’t expect to not speak the language Maybe that’s a privilege Dutch don’t understand because there is rarely a country in the world we can relocate to and expect to be helped in our language or have a Dutch speaking communitybrbrTo be honest as a bilangual person I’m often surprised that Spanish speaking expats complain a lot about the language and often after years living in the Netherlands even with children born here and attending school they still speak so little of the language that they expect the communication regarding their Dutch citizen children to be in EnglishbrbrI also wonder what mostly Spanish speaking expats expect of social life On one hand I hear quite some complaints that the Dutch aren’t social enough but in all fairness they speak their languages, don’t protest about communicating in English, are interested, compassionate and open minded when it comes to non Dutch speakers, but in all fairness one can expect some effort in return If you want to build a life in the Netherlands you can, and many do so, hence the multi cultural character Even government information is available in many languages and my father has had the privilege to be helped and not making serious effort to learn the language in depth But at some point you have to invest in connecting through language as a returnbrbrA foreign language is always a learning proces that requires dedication, time and energy, but is rewarded with more connections on levels beyond random superficial chatter
Comment from : @NinaHassan-in1io

I don't speak Dutch and had 0 problems living here, working, buy house etc, google translate the thing written and basically everyone here understands and speak English so unless you need it for some work related reasons you don't need to speak Dutch to live here without problems
Comment from : @TheHypercarnivoreChef

Omg the beach is small???? Kilometres and kilometres of coast in the Netherlands and he thinks there is one beach only in the hague? What about Zeeland? Hoek van holland and all the rivers and lake beaches????
Comment from : @TheHypercarnivoreChef

It’s incredible that none of them are making any negative comments about Dutch people or their culture yet people in the comments seem so butthurt I think the comments actually show that these people don’t have much to complain about life in the Netherlands
Comment from : @MTkr19

I’d rather live just outside Amsterdam and visit like on weekend only
Comment from : @ryanrich2479

try to talk english here in France count your blessings, everybody in A dam speaks al least a litte english; lived there for over 25 years so have some insights ;-)
Comment from : @seo_france

1:07 This sums it up pretty well how foreigners see the Netherlands: it's just all Amsterdam No matter if you're in Sittard, the Hague, Almere or actually Amsterdam itself No, just kidding haha
Comment from : @bastiaanvanbeek

The problem is that the expats coming to the Netherlands and that they are the tourists among the Dutch citizens You making it overcrowded and bumping up the housing prices So actually stay tge fck out of Holland!!
Comment from : @KMCDM

Comment from : @pedroRodriguesMD

What I hate about expats living in my country is that they think it's completely normal to enjoy everything my parents and grandparents built, but they never give anything back
Comment from : @collectioneur

There are several city beaches in Amsterdam, but a better option is to visit Zandvoort or preferably Bloemendaal If you want to have real large beaches the wadden islands are perfect Terschelling is my favorite one, which has very long and broad beaches
Comment from : @sanderdeboer6034

Ik ben een beetje klaar met al die expats
Comment from : @niek7808

Oh no, you're moving to another country and they tell you, you need the language?! Shocking

Comment from : @lollalofi3933

What I dislike about Amsterdam is that ppl talk about Amsterdam as if it is a synonym for the Netherlands while Amsterdam only a part and nothing like the rest of the Netherlands

Comment from : @iana6839

Interesting There are many quiet beaches so if he 0:55 doesn't like crowded beaches he should go to a quiet beach I don't know why he doesn't put in the effort to go there
Comment from : @mradventurer8104

Maybe it will be also a good idea to ask the locals, the people who are born in Amsterdam, what they ' hate' about expatsPerhaps the answers of the question are to confrontating, or even do you know the answers already, before askingbrAfterwards we than will make the balance, and it will be very, very quiet
Comment from : @ArjenIjsendijk

The beach is far longer than just Den Haag!!So dont blame the Netherlands for it,you just was lazy!And no houses?Thats because there are so much foreigners living here!!😄
