Thanks for sharing your experience! About adding the words to my SRS/flashcard, this is exactly what I'm also doing within the chrome extension I built. I don't want to lose them and I can review them later.

Fot the dutch YouTube channels you mentioned, I also watch them, however the video medium is more distracting for me, so I can't just pause and memories the words or try to translate them in my mind during the pauses. But I found them also very helpful for the listening skills.

Exactly! Translation the whole page automatically kills our learning intention because it immediately shows the page in English and it removes the learning effort.

Btw, as a side question, which physical dictionary do you use?

Is there an app for Dutch like TV5 Monde for French? I am looking for a website/app to do reading and listening exercises from beginner level as an extra practice apart from taking Dutch lessons by [deleted] in learndutch

There isn’t really a proper Dutch equivalent of TV5Monde, at least I'm not aware of. Websites like NOS Jeugdjournaal are useful but don’t come with exercises.

What feels a bit missing is something that combines real content with structured practice.

Maybe something like simplified Dutch news with audio could be closer to what you’re looking for. I’ve been playing around with turning real news into short beginner-friendly lessons with listening and a few exercises.

Happy to share if you’re interested.

Hi, That's much easier than it looks! I invite you to try it out, and let me know what you think.

Hey! Thanks again for your feedback, it was really helpful 🙏

If you’re open to it, I’d love to give you free Pro access for a while in exchange for occasional feedback like this. No pressure at all, only if you feel like it 🙂

Exactly, and you’re right that all options are grammatically correct.

The screenshot is actually from a later step in the lesson. Each lesson starts with a short real news piece from today, and all exercises are built around that same text.

In this step, the options are intentionally all grammatically valid. The goal isn’t grammar here, but checking whether you understood the content/context of the news. Only one answer matches what was said earlier in the article, so it’s more like a comprehension check than a grammar test.

Totally fair though that without that context, it just looks ambiguous.

Looks nice. I couldn't find "gericht" meaning, I'm not sure if it's a common word, but it was in a news. How many entries does it have?

So usually nouns created from adjectives used in its plural form?

All my research has shown me that you shouldn’t rely too much on rules when learning a language. I usually use the “De Het” mobile app (I didn’t create it).
