Great video, keep the good work.
Thank you very much! I wish we had this holiday in America. I don’t like the way Christmas is both about St. Nicholas and Jesus’ birth. Seems awesome!
@TheRedOneDMC lekker is just for food, leuk might be a better word
People who source their pictures have a special place in my heart.
I love the whole Sinterklaas thing. When I found out that he came from Spain, I was so surprised, haha And now that I’m living in Belgium, I have the possibility to live it all
@dutchforn00bs Ik zal herinneren dat het is Zweden en niet Zweedenland, dankuwel.
Ik zal weggoien, ik heb school morgenochtend. Dankjewel ook voor de lekker(?) video’s over de Nederlandse taal en cultuur. 
We have something somewhat similar in my family (don’t know if it’s common in other Norwegian families). We call him Sankt Niklas and he comes on the 7th of December and puts something in our stocking, usually some candy and such.
Love to learn a bit about Dutch culture (just ordered “Culture Shock: Netherlands” to learn more) as well as more about the language. Thank you!
@TheRedOneDMC *bibliotheek
@TheRedOneDMC Ja, biebliotheek! (Sorry!) En ik ken een paar Zweedse mensen, dus dacht ik het het leuk zou zijn de taal een beetje te kunnen. (Het is Zweden, trouwens!)
@dutchforn00bs Bieb = bibliotheek? Zweeds? Waarom Zweeds? Wil je naar… Umm… Zweedeland(? XD) gaan?
@TheRedOneDMC ja, ik heb de Zweedse een keer uit de bieb gehaald, maar weet niet meer wat ik ervan vond.
@dutchforn00bs Dan voor een andere taal?
@TheRedOneDMC Ik ken het niet voor Nederlands, sorry!
@dutchforn00bs Oh, okay. Ik was niet zeker, mijn Nederlands is niet so goed nog. Ik heb een andere vraag; ken je Assimil? Als ja, wat denk je over het? Het is de methode ik gebruik.
@TheRedOneDMC yeah, Pieten is the plural of Piet
@MyVelvetDarkness In what way exactly?
Great vid! you should take about the arrival of a new born cause i read about that and in netherlands is a bit different
lol Chimney sweeper (broom) .. My girlfriend was telling me about Sinterklaas and the tradition.. I watched it on the Live news thingy on the web .. was pretty awesome
haha this was awesome! my grandparents always bought us chocolate letters too and they could never find the proper letter at the store either (in Canada)! can’t wait to have some pepernoten this Christmas
Wait, so Zwarte Pieten is translated roughly as Black Petes–Petes as in more than one Pete?
Thanks for the vids. Next time I visit your country, I’ll be more prepared!
