Top Comments of this video!! :3
Je praat enorm goed Nederlands Lindie! Onderschat jezelf niet want we verstaan je perfect.
I think all Dutch speakers are very proud of you for learning our language. Although the Netherlands and Flanders are different in some ways, both will gladly teach you their culture and language.
Veel success en leerplezier uit Antwerpen ! 🙂

Was busy applying for a job but I saw this was uploaded a minute ago and just had to pause and watch. Your Dutch is so good! I know it's closely related to Afrikaans but you still sound like you've lived here for at least a few months. Some of the grammar and the pronunciations were a bit off but overall it's very clear and understandable. You could probably move here right now and, at the very least, survive.

I love this! I recently recorded myself trying to get back into a language (& struggling majorly!) and kept thinking how the social media polyglots only show this super polished version of themselves that might deter language learners or make them believe they aren't good at languages if they struggle. Ik spreek trouwens iets Nederlands, heb in Nederland gestudeerd maar het is al 10 jaar geleden 😅 Good luck on the journey. You're inspiring me to upload these kinds of videos as well!

You did a great job! It reminds me of how I learned German (as a Dutch person). I'd be happy to practise with you. Keep up the good work!
Some feedback points:
Ik ben Lindie uit Zuid-Afrika ('van' also means 'from', but in this construction you need to use 'uit')
Ik denk dat het Nederlands een heel mooie taal is (you can use both 'heel' and 'hele', need to put 'is' at the end here)
maar het probleem is, dat... (niet 'zijn') ik nooit Nederlands geleerd of gestudeerd heb
en zodoende (this is fine, but it sounds a bit official, like in written speech or in a debate. Here you could use "daarom" or "daardoor")
Ik probeer de woorden Nederlands uit te spreken (not sure what the rule is, but this is the correct sentence)
Dat is heel moeilijk voor mij. (conjugation)
Maar ik heb geen vrienden of kennissen die Nederlands spreken ("die" refers back to "vrienden" and "kennissen", a "kennis" is an acquaintance")
Deze video is ongescript en ongepland (you could also say improvised, which is "geïmproviseerd")
... waarin ik Nederlands praat zonder enige voorkennis (literally, voorkennis means pre-knowledge, or prior knowledge)
dus (so = dus. "Zo" can also mean so, but not in this context)
mijn volgers op YouTube (followers = volgers)
help me (mij is only used when you want to stress/clarify it is you and nobody else, otherwise you can just use 'me. This is both in spoken in written Dutch. For the possesive (my), you can use the contraction "m'n" when you are speaking and "mijn" when you are writing )
Dankjewel allemaal, dat jullie naar mijn video hebben gekeken. (Kijken = to watch, baby chicken = "kuiken". "gekeken" is the past participle of kijken)
Doei (bye)/ tot de volgende keer (see you next time) / bedankt voor het kijken (thank you for watching) / leuk dat jullie gekeken hebben (it's nice that you watched this) ("Tot ziens" is a formal goodbye when you are not sure when or whether you will see somebody again)

Your Dutch is really well for someone who has never studied it. I could understand all of it. You make some common mistakes like the wrong order of the pronoun and verb in more complicated sentences (they swap in some sentence constructions but it's hard to think of which right now) and sometimes you use the infinitive instead of the first person of a verb, but most of your vocabulary and grammar was correct. I think if you just look into the grammar for a bit to familiarise yourself, you'll make progress really quickly

when you said you felt like speaking afrikaans with a dutch pronunciation, i felt that. as a spanish speaker, when i started learning portuguese i felt like i was just speaking spanish with a portuguese accent lmao
