Oppenheimer is proving to be a smash, with searches for the film soaring by 1,176 per cent in the last month alone. That said, there's one scene in particular that has caught the attention of Dutch viewers for all of the wrong reasons. From TikTok to Reddit, a spike in Google searches and language learning experts at Preply calling it out, the 'Oppenheimer Dutch mistake' certainly hasn't gone unnoticed. The real-life J. Robert Oppenheimer was an American of German-Jewish descent. As a physicist, he lectured in Leiden for a bit in 1928, speaking in the Dutch language despite not being a native speaker. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Oppenheimer, the movie, touches on his lecturing days and features the scene of actor Cillian Murphy speaking the Dutch language. Murphy did not learn the Dutch language, but instead asked Hoyte van Hoytema, the director of photography, to speak the sentences so he could replay them and slow them down for clarity, learning the scene phonetically. This has come with a lot of praise, but for Dutch speakers, it seems that many don’t even recognise their own language, with many questioning whether some of the speech was even in German. One Reddit user responded to watching the film with: “I could swear he was speaking in German, not Dutch. It certainly didn't sound like Dutch and I am a native speaker of that language… anyway this caused a huge laugh here in the cinema in Amsterdam where I just watched it.” “In Oppenheimer, Oppenheimer is said to speak Dutch, as a Dutch person I can confirm this was a lie” said another Reddit user. A third Reddit user added: “Was a bold decision to not subtitle the Dutch part in Dutch. As a Dutch person who speaks Dutch, this wasn't the best Dutch that has been spoken.” Preply spoke to a few native Dutch speakers who had recently watched the film, with one saying he “thought it was a mixture between ‘Limburgs’ (a Dutch dialect) and German” and another saying “I thought they made a mistake in the film when they said Dutch, thinking they meant ‘Deutsch’ as the speech sounded German”. Sylvia Johnson, Head of Methodology at the learning language marketplace Preply, said: “Films can be an excellent resource for learning. You can use subtitles to expand your vocabulary and hear the correct pronunciation. Even when hearing language that is not grammatically correct, you can put your skills to the test by identifying mistakes and correcting them! “Working on your pronunciation allows for smoother communication. However, mispronunciation is not necessarily a blocker for understanding. In today's world communication often takes place between non-native speakers. She continued: "Even with mispronounced words, listeners can often rely on the context of the conversation to grasp the intended meaning. The surrounding words and the overall message can provide crucial hints to fill in the gaps caused by mispronunciation.” Have your say in our news democracy.

Former Sheffield Wednesday and Nottingham Forest midfielder Chris Bart-Williams has died at the age of 49, Sheffield Wednesday has announced. The club said he died in the US where he was a mentor and a coach. “Bart-Williams’ untimely passing mirrors that of his manager at Hillsborough Trevor Francis, who also died on this, one of the darkest days in our long history,” a statement from the club said. “Our thoughts are with Chris’ and Trevor’s families and friends at this devastating time.” The news came as the Owls and Forest were coming to terms with the death of former striker Trevor Francis, who was 69. Sierra Leone-born Bart-Williams, who began his career as a trainee at Leyton Orient, made more than 150 appearances for Wednesday, for whom he played in the Premier League as a teenager, before earning a £2.5million move to the City Ground in July 1995. He played 248 games for Forest and later had spells with Charlton and Ipswich before moving into coaching in the United States following his retirement as a player, initially working in women’s college football. Describing himself on his social media accounts as “coach, college recruiter, former footballer”, Bart-Williams was owner and chief executive officer of US College Soccer recruiting agency CBW Soccer Elite, working with college-bound players. His LinkedIn profile reads: “As a retired athlete with 35 years of international playing and coaching experience, I’m passionate about developing young adults into highly successful soccer players. “My goal is to empower kids to have the confidence and technical ability to excel in soccer while learning valuable lessons in responsibility and teamwork that will prepare them for a lifetime of success. Everything I do is designed to maximize athletes’ unique potential and propel them to their personal best in soccer and in life.” In February last year, Florida-based Dade County announced Bart-Williams had been appointed as its head coach to oversee all its football programmes. News of his death was greeted with shock by former team-mate Mark Crossley. The goalkeeper, who played with Bart-Williams at Forest, tweeted: “Devastating and I’m so upset to hear the news of Trevor Francis passing and my former team mate Chris Bart Williams, both so young, it is so sad , RIP Trevor and Chris.” Ipswich also offered their condolences, posting: “The club is saddened to learn of the passing of former player Chris Bart-Williams.
