You know, this is fun, learning others Dutch...

Dutch is a hard language to learn, cause the grammar is very strange, and the pronouncing is even harder!!!


The Butcher.

Yeah, I'd love to hear Bren pronounce some Dutch words. Like e.g. Scheveningen :lol:

:lol: Dank je wel Guppie,

i'm sure it would be very entertaining :lol: ....me pronouncing Dutch would be very very funny methinks :lol:


Bren

The dutch has lots of hard words, so to call.... We have hard tones in our language.... like scheveningen, or school.

The word school is in English pronounced like "skool"
In Dutch it will be "sssggggool", it is a bit hard to explain it in this way, but maybe you will have an idea right now, about what i mean.

The Butcher.

Thanks for the explanation Tim :D

much appreciated

Bren

Mijn dochter heeft pas haar rijbewijs en pikt mijn auto in als ze de kans krijgt.
