Dutch Language Game: 8 Colors



Quick Dutch Language Game: 8 Colors
Playing Time: 4 minutes
Level: A1 

Play this quick fun interactive Dutch game to learn and pronounce the names of 8 common colors, including the three Dutch flag colors. 

Pronunciation Tips:

For English and German speakers, the words for these colors are pretty easy to recognize. 
But pronouncing some Dutch letters and letter combinations can be a challenge. 

Pay special attention to and imitate the sounds: 

- Dutch "g" - a guttural sound, as in the Scottish "loch". In "grijs, groen, geel" (grey, green, yellow). 
- Dutch "r" - mostly rolled. Think of German, or Spanish. In "rood, grijs, groen, bruin, zwart" (red, grey, green, brown, black).
- Dutch "ij" - a little bit like the word "eye". In "grijs" (grey).
- Dutch "oe" - similar to "oo" in "book". In "groen" (green). 
- Dutch "ui" - a little bit like the sound "oi". In "bruin" (brown).

Remember, as you play, say the words OUT LOUD, to imitate and try out the Dutch sounds. It'll give you a good start on Dutch pronunciation.
