Dutch listening speed
120-160 words a minute
Medium speed Dutch
Real Dutch at normal speed. Words run together like in real talk. Good practice to get better at the middle level.
Dutch speech at 120 to 160 words a minute is how real people talk every day. At this speed, you hear the real Dutch g sound and short forms of words. This can be hard to follow at first. Don't use subtitles at first. Just listen and see what you catch. Then watch again to fill in the rest. Videos about daily life help, like a walk in Amsterdam or a simple recipe. You already know these words, just at real speed. Pick videos a little harder than what feels easy. Watch once, then watch the hard parts again. This speed is close to the NT2 listening test, so this practice also gets you ready for that test.
