9 Cool Dutch Words With No English Translation

Posted June 23rd, 2017 by myngle
Categories: Language Facts

Living in the Netherlands can be easy for English speakers as everyone speaks decent English. However, some Dutch words have no English equivalent, so even if the local try to translate them to you, the sense and feeling of the expressions could go missing. It’s fine if you just want to get by, but the reward is high once you learn what they mean.

Why You Want To Know About Untranslatable Words

When a word is not translatable, it’s often the case that it conveys a concept, an attitude, or a cultural aspect that exists in the Netherlands but perhaps nowhere else. It means that once you use those words, you can express yourself quicker with all the nuances.

These nine words won’t do the magic straight away, but once you read through them, you will start to see what I mean. If you can use them, you would feel more like an insider. The Dutch is famous for being tolerant and friendly with foreigners, but once you speak the language, you will feel those qualities in a much deeper sense.

If you are new to the Netherlands, the Dutch sounds and its extremely long words might be intimidating. You think the language would be too hard to learn. Most people speak perfect English anyway, you tell yourself. Eventually, you would want to learn Dutch, though, because knowing the language makes your life here easier, more enjoyable and perhaps more “gezelig”. Learning the language gives you that knowledge, confidence and opportunity.

9 Awesomely Untranslatable Dutch Words

  1. Gezellig

Gezellig is most likely the first untranslatable word you would encounter as Dutch people use it all the time.  They could say “Een gezellig cafe” (a cosy cafe), “het gezellig bezoek” (the friendly visit), or “een gezellige vrouw” (a convivial woman). You can see that the word “gezellig” could be used to describe a place, a social gathering or a person, meaning “good” or “nice” and a bit more. It’s about being social and being cosy.

 

  1. Uitwaaien

In the word “uitwaaien,” “uit” means “out” and “waaien” means “to blow”. You go out for the wind to blow away worrying thoughts. It is a way to remember the meaning of “uitwaaien” — going for a walk to clear your head.

 

  1. Lekker

Lekker is another word that you hear a lot when the Dutch talk to each other. It’s often used to describe the food as being tasty, but there are ways more usage of this word. “Ga lekker zitten” means “to make yourself comfortable, make yourself at home”. “Lekker lang uitslapen” means that you sleep in long and nicely. You can also use “lekker” for a person that you enjoy hanging out with like “een lekker meid” (a nice girl). Kids sometimes say to each other “lekker puh!” meaning “serves you right!”

 

  1. Uitzieken

This word is another expression that illustrates the common attitude found among the people in the Netherlands. The doctors often advocate “uitzieken” or to wait, take it easy and let the body heal itself. You “sick it out” until you recover instead of hastily taking medication.

 

  1. Afbellen

The Dutch is very social and often make a plan, to have dinner or a beer with friends, way in advance. It doesn’t mean, though, that an appointment can’t be cancelled. When someone, especially a date, does it over the phone, “afbellen” is the word for it. It has the subtle difference to “afzeggen” which is to cancel in general.

 

  1. IJsberen

As a noun, “ijsberen” means “polar bears”, rooting from the singular noun “ijsbeer” (polar bear). As a verb, “ijsberen” can’t be entirely translated into one word in English. It refers to the act of pacing up and down because you are either nervous or bored. The expression derived from the behaviour of polar bears in captivity when they walk around in the same circle or movement again and again.

 

  1. Gedogen

This word means to turn a blind eye to something. It reflects the tolerant attitude of the country when it comes to things like drug or prostitution laws.

 

  1. Uitbuiken

“Uit” again means “out” while “buiken” means bellies. Together, they make a word meaning “to have bellies out, often after a lot of eating and / or drinking”.

 

  1. Beleg

If you are working in a Dutch company, you must have noticed that sandwiches (i.e. “boterhammen”) are the very typical food for lunch. When the Dutch eat one piece of bread (een boterham), they put “beleg” on the bread, which could be anything from standard ham and cheese to sweet chocolate sprinkles (de hagelslag).

 

This list of nine words is just the start. I hope you enjoy reading it and it will encourage you to learn more Dutch. If you know other words that you have struggled to translate into English, share with us below!

mYngle CEO Marina Tognetti is presenting now at the Women Economic Forum (WEF) in New Delhi, a global conference to empower conversations and connections among women committed to foster constructive change in ALL walks of life.
The main theme for WEF 17 is “Creating, Innovating, Understanding and Driving the Future”.

They will talk about different verticals, as Entrepreneurship, Thought Leadership, Sustainability, Innovation, Industry or Country specific topics etc.
Marina will contribute with two different stories – you can watch online her contribution here: http://weftv.org/:

  • LEADERSHIP

Plenary session on the main stage about Creating a New Thought Leadership, where Marina will talk about Tech entrepreneurship: the ultimate challenge.

The issue about female leadership is amplified in tech start-ups: Women are as innovative as men and companies run by women are as successful. So why are there so few women tech entrepreneurs?

Here, Marina will talk about her own experience as female tech entrepreneur of a venture capital backed start-up. She will talk of leadership and the ultimate challenge, because “If we can make it there, we can make it anywhere.”

Date/time: Monday 8th May at 11:00am (local time)

  • ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Parallel session about Entrepreneurship, and in particular: Change is an essential part of being entrepreneur.
The entrepreneurship theory talks a lot about how to start a company: start with the customer in mind, start with experiments, start with a Minimum Viable Product etc. But what happens after you have launched? What if it is not really going as expected? Can you save a troubled start-up, identify the reasons for failing in the market, and rectify then? Marina will share the true story of mYngle, and give tips on how to turnaround a start-up.

mYngle CEO: one of the 50 most inspiring women in tech

Posted April 11th, 2017 by myngle
Categories: Uncategorized

It is a great day to start off the week today, announcing that our CEO, Marina Tognetti,  has been nominated by the INSPIRING FIFTY foundation one of the 50 most inspiring women in tech in the Netherlands for this year.
INSPIRING FIFTY is a great foundation that encourages all those women who want to work in the technology field to get inspired, with a “yes, you can do it” approach.

Technology is in fact a field where female leadership is still very much under-represented. As we all know, a low percentage of women are in the board or leading Fortune 500 companies; but even a lower percentage is owner of a tech company. Only 5% of tech start-ups are owned by women. And those start-ups owned by women only 4% receive venture capital funding.

Technology is revolutionizing every part of our life and our society. Yet women are still not participating in this revolution in sufficient numbers. The tech world needs to be shaken and women need to gain awareness of their potential and capabilities and push themselves behind their limits.

INSPIRING 50 wants to give examples of role models that can inspire more women to start in the technology sector. This is one of the reasons that is making us proud of having as lead of mYngle a role model and reference point for all the aspirant successful women in tech.

Marina is among those fifty who are challenging the status quo in 2017, demonstrating that technology is a field women can access and excel in.

This prize will be added to the belt of the Awards and recognition she has been winning during her journey as a CEO and Founder of mYngle, bringing language learning for professionals to the next level.

We, as mYnglers, are honored to take part of mYngle’s success, hoping to broaden our worldwide reach to those professionals who are still looking for an effective and tailored made language learning program.

Team building activity at De Ceuvel

Posted April 6th, 2017 by myngle
Categories: Uncategorized

On Friday, 10th of March the mYngle team was blessed by a pre-spring sunny day in Amsterdam at De Ceuvel to get the hands dirty while contributing to an inspiring and environmental sustainable project!

 

Group

All the participants at the volunteering day @De Ceuvel

 

It was an intense and rewarding day, collaborating to the concept started by De Ceuvel in 2014.

Located in Amsterdam North, De Ceuvel has an intriguing story that dates back to 1919, when the construction of the Shipyard Volharding started and with it a long chapter of shipbuilding activity that lasted for 80 years.

In 2000, the shipyard closed its doors to become a sustainable office park “De Ceuvel” in 2014, the year of its official opening.

Since then, the contaminated site has been transformed into an inspiring, sustainable place – the most unique urban experiment in Europe, with its projects and concepts based on the sustainability of living and working.

A broad spectrum of projects is carried out daily @De Ceuvel. Here you can find the Biogasboat project (learn more here: http://www.biogasboot.nl), the Circular Buiksloterham, Compost Toilet, Heat Exchanger, Helophyte filters, and many more.

Our team had the chance to work on two main projects. We split in different groups, together with other brave employees and volunteers, and we got involved in:

  • Upcycling project

Main objective of the day was to set up the recycling house, where waste would be separated according to its material. We built its roof and use our creativity to recycle the litter collected in the neighborhood to define the different material sections – glass, paper, plastic, metal and organic. We definitely felt we fully applied one of their core concepts: turn what many people view as waste into something of value.

 

Upcycling

  • Gardening project

Most of the plants @De Ceuvel are destined to absorb the pollution and metals coming from the past time this ground was devoted as a shipyard. Keeping this in mind, we were involved in uprooting those plants carrying the metals inside their veins.

After that, we got the ground ready to plant other plants that would also contribute to slowly purify the ground. We had real fun while digging, clipping, raking and trimming – under the sun and a magnificent blue sky!

Satisfied and proud of our productive day, we ended the day enjoying a great beer at the Café De Ceuvel!

 

 

Looking forward to the next team building activity!

 

4 Online Hacks for Language Immersion Regardless of Your Location

Posted March 20th, 2017 by myngle
Categories: Uncategorized


language-immersion-online-myngle-blog

“I learned that word, but I can’t remember what it means.”

How often does your memory fail you? Often enough?

That can be discouraging but remember: practice makes perfect. What you may need is language immersion. That is immersing yourself in a language regularly until using it becomes reflexive, almost second nature.

A busy work and social life could make regular language training challenging. Luckily, there are some smart, and even unexpected, online language immersion tools with which you can practice a foreign language on a daily basis, either at home or on the go!

 

Benefits of language immersion

Practicing language immersion by using web-based software and apps is a smart way to improve your language skills because it is convenient, relevant, and cost-effective.

Being online means being anywhere in the world without leaving your front door. You don’t have to take a two-hour flight from Germany to Spain in order to practice Spanish with a native speaker. Skype or Hangout can connect you to someone in Spain in a matter of seconds.

On the internet there are almost no borders that limit what you can do. If you have a hobby, you can find people with the same interests as you with a quick Google search.

Online language training is often more convenient than classroom lessons, as there is no bricks-and-mortar cost involved. Platforms like Coursera or EdX  even offer some courses for free, as their mission is to make education more accessible for the mass.

4 Tips for Online Language Immersion

1. Curate playlists in on Spotify

Language learners can use Spotify as an immersion tool because you can use the app to create playlists with songs in the language that you are learning.

Whether you listen to music all day or just when you relax, Spotify has something for you. Spotify also curates and updates playlists with music in different languages that match your activities, for when you work out, have dinner or just chill.

Can you estimate how many new words and phrases you would pick up daily?

2. Cook your favourite meals using online recipes

Eating the food of a country might not help you much, or at all, to learn the language of that country. However, cooking one of its famous dishes will bring you closer to their culture and you can practice the language by following the recipe.

If you are learning Spanish, for example, search online for “receta española tortilla de patatas” and you will find more recipes than you can probably cook.

There are options for written instructions as well as how-to videos. Cookpad is a good site for the former and YouTube is an excellent alternative for the latter.

Meal planner companies like HelloFresh or KnifeOverFork also develop apps, which are available in different languages. Using a like-wise app to plan weekly meals and cooks them entirely in the language you are learning.

3. Work out with a virtual instructor

If you work out regularly, instruction videos and apps will make a great language immersion tool. In the morning, you can use a 7-Minute Workout app to kickstart your energy and language level at the same time. The app is available in many languages, including English, Dutch, German, Japanese, Chinese and Vietnamese.

If you don’t understand all the instructions, the movements on the screen would be your cues. Guessing the meaning of words in physical context is the way native speakers learn their language growing up.

If you can find a suitable workout app in what you want to learn, try YouTube. A few quick search would reveal, for instance, many instructed work-out videos in French or Yoga sessions in Spanish.

4. Use a mYngle tutor

You can always improve your language through listening and speaking to your mYngle tutor. The platform enables users to choose a teacher, book a lesson and start learning entirely online, right from your home-office.

How to Improve Your English While Commuting to Work

Posted March 1st, 2017 by myngle
Categories: Uncategorized

how-to-improve-your-english-while-commuting-to-work

It’s a busy carriage with no empty chair for you to sit back, look through the window and ponder about the coming weekend… Commuting to work (and back) could be mundane, but it does not have to be!

You can always take your headphones out and start practicing your English skills. If you have the luxury of a free seat on the bus or, better still, your car, you can do even more to improve your English on a long commute.

Below you will find five ways to boost your English skills on the road.

Listen to Language Learning Podcasts

Many educators dedicate their time to teach you English via free podcasts. With a device like a smartphone or an iPod, you can sync lessons, which are everything from English Pronunciation with an American accent to British phrases and slangs in BBC’s The English We Speak. Both are perfect for a daily 30-minute train journey.

An extra exercise: Read lesson notes, often available on the website of a podcast, to consolidate what you learn or to clarify what you might have missed.

Here are some more language learning podcasts for you:

Tune into News Stations

Breaking news is a good way to learn English as it is often succinct and engaging. News presenters speak fast, which challenges and enhances your listening and comprehension skills. If you are not quite there yet, some websites offer news in slow and plain English for learners of all levels. Check here (for listening and reading) and here (for reading).

An extra exercise: Pick a piece of news you’ve heard and found interesting, then search for an article that writes about the topic more extensively for a reading practice. Pairing listening and reading is a good way to remember words longer and to recognize the difference between spoken and written language.

News channels you can subscribe to:

Read an English Book or Listen to an Audible One

Reading is probably the most common way to pass the time on the train. Like a well-written book: it is not only engaging but also educational. Take a step further and choose an English book for your next travel!

Pro-tip: Use online reviews, like those on Goodreads, to find suitable materials. There might be some spoilers here and there, but you want to make sure that you would like the book and that it is at your language level before embarking upon the challenging journey of reading in a second language.

Amazon now offers audible books to pair with the Kindle versions they sell, which means you have more options for practicing. I always find it easier to read (than to listen) when I am tired after a long day at work, but others might consider the opposite is true.

Speaking Practice or Lessons While Driving a Car or Riding a Bike

Recording yourself is a great way to practice speaking, either for getting your thoughts out in English quickly or for perfecting your pronunciation. Speakers of all languages have blind spots that are impossible for them to recognize while they speak, but those mistakes become more apparent when they listen to their voice on the recordings.

Just try it out, and you will probably hear some mispronunciations. You can also share the recordings with your mYngle private tutor for feedback!

Carry a Notebook and a Pen

Jot down your thoughts anywhere you go. It could be about anything from a to-do list to grocery items. Write about whichever comes up in your mind or just describe the weather. You can use a sticky note app on your phone too, of course.

Practice makes perfect so use these tips and the commuting time wisely to improve your English!

5 Ways to Improve Your English Skills Using YouTube

Posted February 15th, 2017 by myngle
Categories: Uncategorized

5-ways-to-improve-your-language-skills-using-youtube

If you are learning English as a foreign language, YouTube can be a great and totally free resource to complement your language lessons. Are you struggling with something like idioms, pronunciation, test prep, grammar, or listening skills, you can find a number of videos to help you. Just make sure to include “ESL” or “English for beginners/intermediate/advanced” in the search so that you can find a video that is focused towards non-native speakers.

After some searching, find a channel that you like. At first it may be a little overwhelming as there are hundreds of channels choose from, but if you like the sound of a certain speaker’s voice, or like something particular about the style of the videos, it’s more likely that you’ll remember the information.

There are some suggested video channels in this article broken down by goal, but feel free to explore ad nauseum in search of something that matches your needs. Keep in mind that there are thousands of different videos, and each teacher will have something a little different to say.

That’s OK! There is no harm in using multiple channels or teachers and you might even retain more information that way.

Idioms

Conversational English is riddled with idioms. However, it’s hard and sometimes downright impossible to derive meaning from context upon hearing one. Maybe you can go home and type the phrase into Google to get a written translation, but you still may not fully understand the context. Luckily, you can turn to YouTube for clarification.

There are some great YouTube videos that explain what the idiom is actually trying to say, how to use the idiom in conversation, and clarify when you might use it. It may help to start by watching videos that are focused more toward children as they have wonderfully animated visuals that may help you remember when, where, and how to use an idiom.

Listed below are a couple of channels you may want to look at – both have pictures to accompany the idiomatic expression:

  • Espresso English – This channel has a lot of videos with a variety of different topics but also has a good collection of videos explaining idioms and common American phrases.
  • Britlish- Free English Lessons – This channel is specifically for British English, but has a great hour and a half long video discussion about common idioms

Pronunciation

You may have noticed having to repeat yourself when using a certain word or are having trouble telling a waiter your food order. Pronunciation is a difficult yet important aspect of English.

There are ESL video lessons taught in every English accent imaginable. For example, if you find yourself working in America, but learned English from an Australian teacher, there will be words that don’t sound very much alike.

When looking for help on YouTube, make sure to pay special attention to the videos that are spoken in the English accent you’re trying to achieve. If you can’t discern the different accents yet, include the region in your search. For example, instead of typing “how to pronounce vowels” try “how to pronounce British English vowels”.

Test Preparation

YouTube is full of videos that will help with test taking strategies no matter if you’re planning on taking IELTS, TOEL, TEAs, or any other test. It’s best to be specific in your search, i.e. “Reading comprehension IELTS tips American English”.

A good test prep video will have a quiz at the end and the quiz should be written in a similar format to questions you may come across on the actual test. The quiz will also test your listening abilities, and ultimately strengthen them.

Here is an example of a good test prep video as it gives you bullet point tips and comes complete with a quiz at the end:

Grammar

Grammar rules are best remembered with repetition. It’s often hard to know if you use a wrong tense or make some other small grammar error as not everyone will feel comfortable correcting your mistake. The only way to get better is to practice—have your friends and colleges correct your errors and never feel bad about making them—they help you to better learn the language.

When looking for a specific grammar question, begin your search with “English grammar…” and fill the blank in with whatever topic may be troublesome such as “English grammar tenses for beginners” or “ESL English grammar subject verb agreement”. Make sure to include “ESL”, “beginner” or “basic English” in your search to make sure you will find videos designed for English as a second language rather than native speakers.

  • JamesESL English Lessons – A 48 video playlist with all videos discussing a different grammar topic, specifically created for ESL learners

Listening

You don’t have to stick with only educational videos to improve your listening skills. Watch any video that interests you: a music video, a documentary on a subject that interests you, or an interview with someone you admire.

As you’re watching the video, pause when there’s a word or a phrase which you don’t understand. Write it down. At the end of the video, look up the words and phrases that you wrote down. Not only will this improve your vocabulary, but you’ll be more focused on what the person in the video is saying as you try and derive meaning for the unknown word or phrase.

There are listening techniques that you can try as well. Here is a playlist to get you started:

  • Clubenglish – ESL listening comprehension videos with questions to help you focus

Speak Up!

Using the language is the only way to learn. Speak often, have your peers correct little mistakes, and ask questions whenever you’re confused! Speak along with videos to practice saying words, especially the pronunciation videos. You may feel silly talking to yourself, but it will pay off.

5 Benefits of Hiring Bilingual Employees

Posted January 27th, 2017 by myngle
Categories: HR topics and support

 

5-benefits-of-hiring-bilingual-employees

Bilinguals are smarter people. According to a New York Times’ article, people who speak two languages seem to be adept at solving certain kinds of mental challenges, maintaining focus and planning.

Do smarter people make better employees?

You are likely to get different answers to that question. However, a company would definitely benefit in many ways when it has bilingual employees on board. Let’s see why.

Tap into new markets

If you want to break into potential markets like China, Brazil or Russia, it would be helpful to have people who speak Chinese, Portuguese, or Russian. They can assist in reading materials, negotiating with potential local partners and advising on cultural preferences, as those who know a language well often understands its culture.

You can hire a translator or a consultancy firm but the fee could be high and the possibility of  getting “lost in translation” is always higher as, unlike your staff, the third party might lack a thorough understanding of your company’s values and principles.

Maintain better team communication

People who speak two languages tend to know how to communicate clearly as they learn to express themselves in a foreign language.

Besides, they are trained to understand a concept as its true self rather than depending on one language. As a simplified example, a tree for them would be the plant with a big trunk, many branches and a lot more leaves, rather than “tree” (English), “boom” (Dutch), “arbre” (French) or “cây” (Vietnamese). It results in the ability to go to the core of a complex concept and explain it well.

Provide better services

For most people, it takes less of an effort to speak in their mother tongue. If customers can inquiry in their native language, they will find it easier to express their problem, which is likely to result in more satisfactory experience.

You can see why many hotels and shops now have a plaque at the reception “We speak your language”. It’s because customers like it.

Hiring vs. Training

You can build a multilingual workplace by hiring more bilingual people or by providing the existing staff with language training. It’s certainly possible to do both, but let’s look at the pros and cons of each option before you decide on the best employment strategy.

Hiring

When you choose to hire, you could add new skills to the team quickly. Thanks to open labor markets like the EU, no border would hinder your search for, for example, Italian native speakers to work in an Amsterdam-based company.

With remote working on the rise, you can even find somebody from the other side of the globe to join your team within a couple of weeks. Of course, there is always that one particular position that takes months to fill, but in general, hiring bilingual staff is a lot easier thanks to globalization.

Besides, hiring someone who already speaks two languages fluently is much less risky than trying to train an employee to speak another language. As much as we don’t want to admit it, not all training comes to a satisfactory result.

However, workers who speak the languages you desire might not possess the rest of the skill set needed for the position you are hiring. When you do find people who have it all, their expectation for remuneration might be sky high.

Training

Training the current employees has its flexibility. You can train an employee many times in different languages (e.g. Chinese, Japanese or Korean), in different types of skills (such as reading, speaking, or writing), and up to the appropriate level needed for the position. mYngle provides one-on-one tutors with customized lessons for the specific needs of both your employees and the company.

Language training can be used as an incentive to reward highly-performing and over-achieving employees. It’s good for retention, so “to kill two birds with one stone”.

However, learning a language takes time. Most people needs years of studying a language to master it. Having the right type of training as well as concrete and relevant targets do help in shortening the time, though.

Do your staff need only conversational Spanish to assist customers with their questions or do they need to be able to write a love poem in Spanish?

In a nutshell, hiring could be a quick fix but training is a more flexible and rounded solution. The language training you offer to your employees could increase not only the business’ bottom line but the team morale. Consider mYngle as a strategic partner when it comes to language training.
