Lesson focus

In this lesson, we'll introduce farewells.
As we learned in the previous lesson, Hallo means, "Hello." However, we can use this expression in informal situations only.
Now let's learn how to say farewell in Dutch.
A parting expression that we can use for all occasions is Tot ziens, which means, "Goodbye."
Tot ziens.
Tot ziens.
Let's break it down by syllable: Tot ziens.
Now let's hear it again: Tot ziens.
When saying, "Good night,"
The word Goedenacht is the appropriate choice.
Let's break it down by syllable: Goe-de-nacht.
Now let's hear it one more time: Goedenacht.
There are several informal phrases for saying "Bye" or "Until later."
The most popular one is Doei, which means, "Bye."
Doei.
Now, let's hear it again. Doei.
Another commonly used phrase is Tot later, meaning, "Until later." Here's the break down.
Tot La-ter.
Now let's hear it once again: Tot later.

Outro

Okay, to close out this lesson, we'd like you to practice what you've just learned. I'll provide you with the English equivalent of the phrase and you're responsible for saying it aloud. You have a few seconds before I give you the answer, so good luck, that also means “good luck” in Dutch.

"Good night." - Goedenacht.
