I want to learn some Dutch. Since this forum's a Netherlands forum, I figured that to post this here, as most people in here speak Dutch and English (maybe minimally, but, they speak it!). I'm planning on going to The Netherlands sometime within the next 3 - 5 years and even though a lot of Dutch people speak English as well as their local language, a lot also don't. Also, advertisements, news, traffic signs, and other VERY local things are almost never in English (Or at least I heard).

Can someone put English pronunciations of Dutch words and phrases, as well as the original spellings of these words and phrases in a reply to this? I greatly thank you, whoever replies and helps me out!

Hello, can you help me?
Hallo, kunt u me helpen?

Sorry, my dutch isnt that good.

OKee, well we can learn you stuff but this way isn't correct.
I'm an intern at a school where we have people from other countries (a changing program). the best way to learn dutch is to 'hear' it cause the a, e, u, i and combination of both are spoken differ in englisch.
But okee here are some other thinks.

En daar komt de nederlande 'flame the buitenlanders'-mentaliteit weer naar boven.
Dit doe je bij touristen, niet bij iemand die hier lang blijft
