| M: Dag mevrouw. |
| Judith: Goodbye madam! |
| Serveerster: Dank u wel. Tot ziens. |
| Judith: Thank you very much. See you later. |
| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Judith: I think we have all heard about the term “Going Dutch”,to mean that everyone in the group pays for themselves rather than one person treating everyone. Is this actually a Dutch thing? |
| Peter: That is pretty much a Dutch thing. |
| Judith: How about splitting the bill evenly like we saw in the dialogue? |
| Peter: Well, we all split the bill evenly but there is a tradition in the Netherlands that it’s okay to buy drinks for everyone in one round. The next round will be for someone else. |
| Judith: And how about tipping? How much i am suppose to tip? |
| Peter: Well tipping is not compulsory. Sometimes you tip in a restaurant and of course the waiter appreciates but it’s not necessary although it’s always nice to leave 5 or 10% of the bill extra as a tip. |
| Judith: I imagine you wouldn’t do that at a fastfood restaurant or a snack bar though.. |
| Peter: No, the Dutch tip at a restaurant. But if you are just going to get some fries at the snack bar, you don’t tip |
| Judith: How about credit cards, can I use my credit cards in the Netherlands? |
| Peter: You can use your credit card in the Netherlands. Most stores have options for credits cards. But the Dutch themselves like to pay with their bankcard, “pinnen” it’s called in Dutch. Coming from ‘pincode’. |

| KEY VOCABULARY AND PHRASES |
| Judith: Let's have a closer look at the usage for some of the words and phrases from this lesson. |
| Peter: The first phrase we’ll look at is.."Kan ik u helpen?" |
| Judith: This is a phrase you'll hear a lot in the Netherlands. |
| Peter: "Kan ik u helpen?" means "Can I help you?". The "kan" is "can". Unfortunately, the other forms of this verb are a bit irregular. |
| Peter: “Dag mevrouw” (literally: Goodbye madam) for women and “dag meneer” (Goodbye sir) for men. “Tot ziens” is another way to say Goodbye. Similar to the English “see you later”, literally it means “until I see you”. A more informal way is “doei” (bye). “Wel” can mean “very” in sentences like “dank u wel” (thank you very much). “Wel” can also be used in an exclamation when you want to insist on or emphasize something , for example “Ik ga wel!” ( I do go! I will go!) |
Lesson focus |
| Judith: The focus of this lesson is larger numbers. Let's take a look at larger numbers today. We had the numbers up to ten before and now we are continuing from there; |

| 14 veertien |
| 15 vijftien |
| 16 zestien |
| 17 zeventien |
| 18 achtien |
| 19 negentien |
| 20 twintig |
| Judith: Could you repeat those? |
| Peter: elf, twaalf, dertien, veertien, vijftien, zestien, zeventien, achtien, negentien, twintig. |
| Judith: Now to continue you will always say the normal number and then “en” and then the tens. So twenty-one is.. |
| Peter: een-en-twintig |
| Judith: That’s “een” for “one”, “en” for “and” and “twintig” for “twenty. Twenty-two? |
| Peter: twee-en-twintig. |
| Judith: Okay, let’s mix it up. How about twenty-six? |
| Peter: Zes-en-twintig |
| Judith: And what is thirty? |
