| We hope that this lesson will introduce you to some phrases that you won't have to use. In addition, this phrase is not limited to threatening situations, but you can also use it in the unfortunate event that you or someone around you is in the need of immediate assistance. In this lesson, we will learn how to call for help. |
| Even if everyone wishes nothing bad or dangerous to happen while on holiday in the Netherlands, it's better if you know some important useful phrases to use in case of emergency. |
| In Dutch, "Help!" is Help! Let's break it down by syllable: Help. |
| Now let's see it again. Help! ("Help!") |
| There is another way to call for help, and it's Hulp! |
| Let's break down these words and hear them once again: Hulp! |
| Hulp! |
| This phrase also means, "Help!" |
| If you need to call the police, shout Politie! Let's break it down by syllable and say it once again: |
| Po-li-tie. |
| Politie! ("Police!") |
| The phone number for the police in the Netherlands is 112. You can easily call it from a public phone or a cell phone. Make sure that in an emergency you know how to ask for a public phone. |
Outro |
| Okay, to close out this lesson, we'd like you to practice what you've just learned. I'll provide you with the English equivalent of the phrase and you're responsible for saying it aloud. You have a few seconds before I give you the answer, so good luck, that also means “good luck” in Dutch. |
| "Help!" - Help! |
| Help! |
| Help! |
| "Help!" - Hulp! |
| Hulp! |
| Hulp! |
| "Police!" - Politie! |
| Politie! |
| Politie! |
| All right, that's going to do it for today. Remember to stop by DutchPod101.com and pick up the accompanying PDF and additional info in the post. If you stop by, be sure to leave us a comment. Tot ziens! |
