thanx ronald, that’s nice! the +- nauseating gig/beers/pub-smell has net yet left my room, so i guess the good memories will still stay here for some time! me and my friends had a great night/morning/afternoon too. don’t know if i’m still welcome in the pubs we went to next time i go there, but to hell with that - i can always get me taxi and go somewhere else :) (by the way, haven’t you had a phonecall yet from the taxi-company, asking when we’ll finally come out of the barracuda? :D)

my girlfriend started fixing your jeans already, but so far she hasn’t found your right leg yet.. is it possible that one is still somewhere out in the antwerp-streets? anyway, fixing your pants, i guess it can take some more time… :rolleyes:

anyway, we’re surely willing to come over to rotterdam some time later, we’ll see then, okido? hey, and sure you’re always welcome here too (if you would ever consider to come over again of course!)

cheerio + rock on!

Jaaa, without taking the wrong turn! I hope you will follow my advice and speak german more often with your girlfriend. It’s gonna make it so much easier for your future kids. Und vielleicht versuche ich es auch einmal..;)

The Belgian Sinterklaas always legt wat en the Dutch gooit de rotzooi er gewoon in.

@roxy: the ‘sch’ words aren’t spoken properly by most Dutch and the Belgians. If you want decent pronunciation of the ‘sch’ words, ask Ronald or myself. First try to learn the ‘g’ as in godverdomme. Good luck!

godverdomme was one of the first words i learned! so i don’t have any problems with the “g” :D…and it’s really the “sch” which i don’t like, as it’s not so nice and easy like our german “Sch”

@gf: i will have a thinking about your tasks…but i doubt it will work.

but i know also a funny little song: kleene washes, grote washes…stop ma in de washmachine…let ma lekker drije…well, no idea if you write it like this, but it’s a nice little song :)

Then the ‘sch’ must be not that difficult for you: it’s just a ‘g’ with an ‘s’ in front of it. Try to say ‘sgodverdomme’… See, it works!!

Lesson 2

a) To understand the difference in pronunciation between certain combinations of Dutch vowels, you will have to find yourself a cool mnemonic. Try to find an English or German word that has the Dutch pronunciation for each pair of vowels:

Blauw (blue/blau) = How
Deur (door/tur) = ……
Huis (house/haus) = ……
Friet (french fries/fritten) = ……
Koud (cold/kalt) = ……
Goed (good/gut) = ……

b) Find the right translation of the following expressions

Zoals de waard is vertrouwt hij zijn gasten

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush

Alten Kohl aufwarmen

Viel Erfolg!
