My daughter thought my husband was saying a bad word, but it was actually just a normal Dutch word.

In this short video (in easy-to-follow Dutch (A2+) with subtitles), I share my funny story and explain why these mix-ups happen so often when learning a language.

What is your favorite Dutch word that throws you off every time?
