- Lucas: Hallo en welkom terug bij Learn Dutch with Fexingo! Luna: Yes! We're back. Episode 17. I can't believe we're already here. Lucas: I know. And today we're learning something I think you'll enjoy. Luna: Ohh. What is it? Lucas: Food. Dutch food vocabulary. Luna: Yes. That's my kind of episode. What do we have? Lucas: Three very common items. First: brood. That's bread. Luna: Brood. Like 'brood' sounds a bit like 'bread' actually. Lucas: Right. Listen again: brood. Luna: Brood. Lucas: Perfect. Second: kaas. Cheese. Luna: Kaas. Oh, that's like 'kaas' — I've heard of Goudse kaas. Lucas: Exactly. Gouda cheese. So kaas. Luna: Kaas. Lucas: Good. Third: melk. Milk. Luna: Melk. That's almost like 'milk' but with an 'e'. Lucas: Yes. Melk. Luna: Melk. Lucas: Now, let's put them in a useful phrase. Imagine you're at a bakery or a café. You can say: Ik wil graag brood. That means 'I would like bread.' Luna: Ik wil graag brood. Lucas: Nice. Let's break it. Ik means I. Wil means want. Graag means gladly or like 'please' in context. So Ik wil graag brood. Luna: Ik wil graag brood. Lucas: Now you try saying it as if you're ordering. Luna: Ik wil graag brood. Lucas: Exactly. Now for cheese: Ik wil graag kaas. Luna: Ik wil graag kaas. Lucas: And for milk: Ik wil graag melk. Luna: Ik wil graag melk. Lucas: Great. Let's do a little scene. Imagine I'm a baker. You come in and say hello. Luna: Goedemorgen! Ik wil graag brood. Lucas: Alsjeblieft. Here you go. Luna: Dank je wel! Lucas: Perfect. Now you can also combine them. Like: Ik wil graag brood en kaas. Luna: Ik wil graag brood en kaas. En means and, right? Lucas: Right. And milk? Ik wil graag melk. Luna: Ik wil graag melk. Lucas: Let's practice all three. Repeat after me: Ik wil graag brood. Luna: Ik wil graag brood. Lucas: Ik wil graag kaas. Luna: Ik wil graag kaas. Lucas: Ik wil graag melk. Luna: Ik wil graag melk. Lucas: Now a bit faster: Ik wil graag brood. Luna: Ik wil graag brood. Lucas: Ik wil graag kaas. Luna: Ik wil graag kaas. Lucas: Ik wil graag melk. Luna: Ik wil graag melk. Lucas: Good. Now one more thing. You can also use 'en' to ask for two things. Like: Ik wil graag brood en kaas. Luna: Ik wil graag brood en kaas. Lucas: Or: Ik wil graag kaas en melk. Luna: Ik wil graag kaas en melk. Lucas: Love it. Let's do a quick roleplay. You're at the store. You want bread and cheese. Luna: Goedemiddag! Ik wil graag brood en kaas. Lucas: Ja, alsjeblieft. Anything else? Luna: Nee, dank je wel. Lucas: Tot ziens! Luna: Tot ziens! Lucas: See how natural that felt? Luna: Yeah. I felt like I was actually buying something. Lucas: That's the goal. Now let's review today's phrases one more time. First: brood. Luna: Brood. Lucas: Kaas. Luna: Kaas. Lucas: Melk. Luna: Melk. Lucas: And the full phrase: Ik wil graag brood. Luna: Ik wil graag brood. Lucas: Ik wil graag kaas. Luna: Ik wil graag kaas. Lucas: Ik wil graag melk. Luna: Ik wil graag melk. Lucas: Wonderful.
