Jockie -“Spelen in de speeltuin”  

Posted on September 8, 2022September 25, 2022 by Self Study Dutch

Kids songs? Really?
Well yes. The key to starting understanding dutch by listening for me was to find a thing I understand instantly. Then my confidence grew and I started hearing more and more. This happened thanks to my little 3-year-old at home. She was playing some dutch songs on her tablet and the one I am sharing today caught my attention. A fair warning though, it is catchy. You might sing it in your head all day long. That is it, you have been warned.

Jockie -“Spelen in de speeltuin” lyrics

Jockie and Jet vliegen boven een plein
daar is een speeltuin {please help with transciption here}
Jet, zegt Jockie, ik heb een idee
Zullen we gaan spelen
Ga je met me mee?

Draaien, draaien, draaien in de draaimolen.
Zitten op de schommel,
op en neer op de wip wap
Glijen van de glijbaan en klimmen in het touw
Maar pas op dat je niet valt, want dan is je knietje blauw.

Spelen in de speltuin {help with transcription here}
Jet and Jockie spelen echt met iedereen
spelen in de speeltuin
[…]
Iedereen is vriendjes met Jockie and met Jet

Draaien, draaien, draaien in de draaimolen.
Zitten op de schommel,
op en neer op de wip wap
Glijen van de glijbaan en klimmen in het touw
Maar pas op dat je niet valt, want dan is je knietje blauw.



 

The goal here is to get out of the panic that you cannot understand anything you hear in Dutch. As long as you think like that you are in trouble. Start simple, keep it simple, and do not panic. When you are over 30 not understanding what you hear is frustrating. I felt hopeless for a couple of months. Then I joined my little one as she was learning the language herself in the peuteropvang (preschool) through songs and simple stories.
