A few months ago DutchClass.co.uk mentioned the availability of Dutch news as NOS Journaal Podcasts. Since then I’ve been watching Dutch news podcasts now and then- not every day, but enough to help me learn a bit more useful and up-to-date Dutch.
Imagine my surprise to receive from a Dutch friend a link to the YouTube clip below:
This is a fun and fascinating (!) insight into preparations for Dutch news broadcasts. Enjoy !
There’s good news for students of Dutch language who do not have access to Dutch television. The Dutch evening new programme NOS Journaal is now available as a podcast.
Obviously it’s a great advantage to be able to watch and listen to “real life” (as opposed to purely “teaching materials”) Dutch media. The facility to download and view NOS Journaal as a video podcast makes this Dutch news programme available to all users of iTunes (though a PC or MAC computer). If you are lucky enough to have a video iPod or an iPhone it may be even more convenient to watch NOS Journaal while out and about, travelling, in cafes, or wherever you go.
To subscribe to the NOS Journaal video podcast open iTunes and goto the iTunes store to browse podcasts. NOS Journaal is free to subscribe to and very easy to find. I used the search term “NOS Journaal”. You might also want to browse other Dutch language podcasts (by specifying the language as “Dutch”).
