In every lesson we start of with the alfabet (which you can find in lesson 1). My student has been practising this a lot, so it goes quite well. After the alfabet, we do the long vowels. Some of them are quite easy, but some of them are very difficult.
Especially the sounds of ui and eu are very difficult to distinguish. I had already noticed that with students from other countries.
These two sounds are apparently quite unique. So again, I created a small video to show a lot of Dutch words, each time opposing a word containing ui to one containing eu.
I have included a list of pictures/translations of the words being used after the video.
