How to pronounce high school in Dutch?

Full Transcript

Hey guys! As you can see I'm in the car right now and that is because I am on my way to school.
That's right...School.
Summer is almost over for me because I start school the day after tomorrow.
I will then go to high school and that is why todays video is a High School Tour.
I did the same thing last year but that was the middle school.
If you haven't seen that video yet, I will link it in the description box below so you can watch that as well.
But today, a High School tour. And I am new in the high school too, so I don't really know where anything is.
I am gonna be a freshmen, so ninth grade which is the third year of high school in the Netherlands.
I get asked if the first year of high school is the same as in the Netherlands a lot and the answer is no.
Like I said, the first year of high school here is the third year of high school in the Netherlands.
Today I'm gonna be showing you the entire high school.
I have to figure out where everything is myself too but I think that won't be very hard.
I'm really excited to show you guys everything so let's go to the New Albany High School.
I just arrived at school, and I am at the sports field right now.
I'm already familiar with this because I play field hockey for the school.
It's preseason right now and this is where we have practice.
I'll show you the field, this is what it looks like.
At the moment they are redoing the track so I can't walk on it because it is very hot.
But this is where I have practice.
Now I am heading over to the actual school.
Before we go inside I want to show you the school parking lot.
This one is for the students, because here in America you can drive when your 16
And everyone still goes to school when they're 16 because everyone has 4 years of high school.
So there are a lot of parking spots for students but you have to pay for them or something.
I actually don't know, I am not 16 yet so I don't have to worry about that.
But if you're a student and want to park your car by the school, this is where you would do that.
For the people that are unfamiliar with the high school, here is a map of the school.
So that you can see where everything is
All the school doors are locked so every student gets their own ID to be able to unlock the doors.
I didn't get one last year, I don't know why but I do now and hopefully it works.
Let's try.
When you walk into the school, to your left is all the administration stuff which isn't very interesting.
Here I have my schedule with all my classes and here I have a map showing all the classrooms.
On my schedule it says all the room numbers and so does it on the map so that is really helpful.
Especially if you're new or if you come from the middle school.
So this is what I am gonna use too. I'm just going to look for all my classes and I'm going to show you around.
In American movies you always see long hallways with lockers and you have that here too.
There are a lot of people staring at me by the way but that's okay!
And to the right here are the bathrooms.
Here you have the Forest Hill logo, which is what my shirt says too.
At school we have houses just like in Harry Potter, I'm in house Forest Hill and so is my brother.
So this is Forest Hill's logo.
This is a logo from different house, Pleasant Hill.
Right now I am trying to find my math classroom, which is located in G.
The school is divided into letters. In the other building it is J,K and L.
Last year I had French in L so I know where that is.
And in this building it is G,F and E.
I am by F right now which is where I have art.
I'm not sure so let me just go look.
And again there are a lot of lockers.
I found it, this is where I have art. You can't look in the room but this is it.
For art I have Montague, just like in Romeo and Juliet
Because school hasn't started yet most of the classrooms are locked which sucks.
Now we are heading over to my Math classroom which is in G and that is right next to F.
To the left of this hallway you can look outside and there is a courtyard.
We are by G right now and this is where I have Math.
A lot of lockers, again.
G103, and its open!
This is where I am going to have Math.
Every single classroom here has an American flag.
Because when they play the National Anthem during the announcements that is what you have to look at.
This has happened before but because I only had one class in the high school, it didn't happen very often.
I'm gonna go to L now, which is where I have French.
We have to leave this building and go to another one for that though.
So hopefully the doors aren't locked.
It's open!
Because I have the same schedule all year round, I am going to have to walk through here a lot.
And again, lots and lots of lockers.
You can also go upstairs by the way but I don't have to because I don't have any classes there.
My French classroom is right there.
You can kind of look inside this classroom.
This is where I had French last year too, with Emily. I would be here every single morning.
First period, everyday. It wasn't that fun.
Now we're heading over to J, which is where I have Humanities.
I have Humanities 2 hours everyday and its English and Social Studies combined.
You can go upstairs here, and back there I have my locker.
I had a locker last year two but never used it and I will just show you guys my locker real quick.
One of the lockers to the right is mine, I don't know which one.
Up here it says the locker numbers and one of these is mine.
And I'm really glad because we get the full locker this year. Last year we only got half, which is pretty small.
I have no idea which one is mine and it's really confusing to open because of the locks.
I have no clue what my locker combination is because I left it at home, just like my locker number.
This is the hall I walked everyday last year to go from my French class back to the middle school.
You can go outside through here.
But we have to go to J which is over there.
There it is, classroom J101 and that is where I will be having Humanities 2 hours a day.
It's open! Let's go inside.
Okay good, there is no one here.
It's a very big classroom and I will have to be here everyday.
That's gonna be so much fun!
Overhere are even more lockers and these are really popular.
I don't know why, they look really nice though.
All these locker were already taken so that is why I have one over there by K. And this is by J.
Now we're gonna go to the Cafe.
So if you want coffee in the morning or you forgot to have breakfast, that is where you go.
I will show you guys that too if it is unlocked.
Unfortunately, it isn't open but this is where the Cafe is.
Those we're all the classrooms where I have classes. Now we're gonna go over to the gym and pool.
So yes, there is a swimming pool at this school. I'm pretty sure I showed you it in my other school tour.
I'm not 100% sure though, so I'll just show you it again, if it is open.
I have already went swimming in that pool when it was really cold, but that was a while ago.
Let's just head over there.
We're outside again and if you go to the right here, you end up at the middle school and the cafeteria.
I will show you the cafeteria too but... first the pool.
I have to use my ID again and hopefully it works.
And it doesn't so we are gonna look for another entrance.
The doors to the pool are locked so I'm just gonna see if the doors to the gym aren't.
I didn't get this on video but this door did open with my ID, and the gym is right here.
This is where I had gym class.
Over there is the pool, and you can look through the windows. So let's go take a look.
There is no water in the pool!
Here we have a pool with no water.
Over there is the middle school and the high school is right there.
The cafeteria is inside here and so is the middle school gym.
That is also why it says Middle School Gymnasium.
And the gym is surrounded by the cafeteria, it may not make any sense now so I'll just show you.
It's really hot by the way, I'm sweating so much.
There you have a bike by the way, because here at school there aren't a lot of bicycle racks.
This is because not a lot of people ride there bike to school. That either get dropped off by there parents or...
they ride the schoolbus. My mom takes me to school so thanks mom!
That's so loud!
You can probably hear the balls bouncing in the background but here you have the middle school gym.
After this, there is a volleyball game so we have to hurry.
The cafeteria is over there.
Usually there are a lot of tables setup in groups but because school hasn't started yet there are not.
During lunch people sit in groups just like in movies.
To the right here you have the tennis courts.
Here at school, sports and music is super important. That is also why there are school sports teams.
You don't have those in the Netherlands but you do here.
If you look over there you can see the football field and the stadium. Its a pretty nice view from here.
That was the entire high school! I had so much fun making this video for you guys.
And now I also know where all my classes are which is good!
I hope you enjoyed this video.if you did, give it a big thumbs up!
