Been following Dracula Daily as a podcast and indeed am at this filled with unspeakable dread... please, please let them have engaged a Dutch actor for Abraham van Helsing.
I really enjoy Jonathan Harker's RP (love how he says 'room'), and Quincey's Texan, it's a beautiful contrast.
Please let them not go with German for Bram. Man's from another country altogether. Please, it's as jarring as casting an Austrialian for an American without comment.
Please, for the love of my poor soul.
Let Abraham van Helsing be a friendly upperclass Dutchman.
This is a German accent in English:

This is a Dutch accent:

(I love the insurance line btw, that is the Duchest thing ever.)
So I wait with bated breath and an uneasy spirit...

9 January 2024 -
I met and fell in love with someone that speaks Dutch... I've been studying myself feral ever since.
Found a cute little shop in my hometown that sold Dutch treats and gushed for an embarrassingly long time.
Anyone wanna be friends on Duolingo? 🥺 (link in reply!)

As a Vox shipper I feel obligated to point out that vos is the Dutch word for Fox and I think that’s hilarious.

The Dutch language can be a comedy goldmine if you’re an English speaker on edibles.

Sometimes I do like the new meanings to words that folk etymology can create.
As an example, today I was considering the Dutch word nabestaanden, meaning something like 'close relatives'.
Originally it is quite clearly a compound of the words na, which means 'close' and bestaanden, which means 'those who exist'. So literally 'those who exist close (to someone)'.
However, the word is most often used when someone died to talk about their relatives, the people who inherit, the people who grief.
What then happens is that the na is actually interpreted differently by most people, as the word for 'after' which is also written as na. Nabestaanden then becomes 'Those who exist after'. Which I think, as do many, is a really good way to describe the situation of families that have lost someone.

I started using DuoLingo in earnest 15 days ago to learn Dutch.
It’s one of the best choices I’ve ever made.
Not because I have plans to visit the Netherlands, or because I know someone who speaks Dutch…
No, it’s because I recently learned that the Dutch word for rhinoceros is neushoorn.
Literally, the compounding of nose horn.
To say I am absolutely delighted even days later is a massive understatement.

What's the language (con or nat) that frustrates you the most? I can't seem to shake my disdain for French
German der/die/das drives me nuts, but I can't help but love that language! I feel like I'm randomly throwing -e, -er, -en, -n, and -es onto adjectives, but it's so much fun. I'm like that kid playing the PVP version of Splatoon 2 who's just like, "I'M SQUIRTING PAAAAAAAINT!" while everyone else is trying to win, and somehow, randomly, I every so often end up covering a really big space and taking out two enemy combatants, and my teammates look at me and are all like, "Does he actually know how to play this...?", but then I come out with something like, "Und jetzt werden wir in dem Park einen Pferdreit nehmen!" and they're all like, "Nah..."
The only language I can't seem to pronounce is Dutch and its unfathomably opaque diphthongs. It's like you ask, "What color is this?"
COLOR
And they're all like, "Blurplet".
...
"Purple?"
"Ha, ha! Close to that, but it's more Vioblur."
...
"Violet...?"
"HA, HA, HA, HA!!! Oh my god, that's so cute! No, this is violet!"
COLOR
...
"Uhhhhhhhh...isn't that the exact same color...?"
And they're immediately:
Tumblr media
I've never met a language where the vowels were so definitive and opaque. At least with Danish you can just take whatever you're saying and say it at x10 speed and they're all like, "Wow, you speak so slowly and clearly! It's so quaint!"
But, yeah... I love all the languages. I want to learn them all. What a joy that would be, to have time to learn them all... To take classes in every language... Oh, how I'd love that!
Anyway, thanks for the ask!
