[captainCorr]

:shocked: Again?! Wouldn't it be easier if you just found the old threads and learned again when you have forgotten?:huh::p

Oops! Didn't know that.... Although.... I can vaguely remember something.... Oh well, that one is long gone.... that means Marika didn't do her (home)work....;) :p

So let's start again... fresh from the beginning! :D And this time.... she just has to get a diploma! :funny: :D

It's good! :D You certainly got 'hello' correct! ;)
(Het is goed! 'Hello' heb je zeker goed!)

The 2nd sentence however needs some more fixing....
(De 2e zijn daarentegen moet nog wat aangepast worden....)

"daar is een website dit hulp ons naar leer hoe naar spreek nederlands." =>

"Hier is een website die ons helpt om Nederlands te spreken." or
"Hier is een website die ons hulp biedt Nederlands te spreken."

(here=hier)
(there=daar)

[ka-ching]

[shania-little]

hahaa :p dutch is hard
(nederlands is moeilijk :p)

[Just-a-Fan]

I wish I had more time, I think it would be fun to learn some dutch! :up:

My mom is Dutch, and my dad is German and lived somewhere close to the Dutch border. Unfortunately neither taught any of us kids how to speak Dutch or German! :( They have said themselves that they regret not teaching us.

[shania-little]

belgen zijn trouwens grappig, geweldig dat accent :D
(i live pretty close to belgium, i can be in antwerp in an hour,
belgians are funny by the way, great accents)

I live also very close to the German border, and I do also have German at school.. I live near by Oberhausen...you know that?:cool: I once visited Holland and Germany with my parents, but I was very young and don't remember anything about the trip. Unfortunately that means that my knowledge of either Holland or Germany is slim to none. :uhh: But is is especially too bad that I hadn't been taught the languages. :)

ik ben ooit naar holland en duitsland geweest met mijn ouders, maar ik was nog heel jong en kan me niks van de reis herinneren
helaas heb ik daardoor weinig tot geen kennis van holland of duitsland
maar het is helemaal jammer dat ik de talen niet heb geleerd

ik gedachte wij waren "sharing" (whats the dutch word for this please?) een auto? :rolleyes:

[NJS117]

ik gedachte wij waren "sharing" (whats the dutch word for this please?) een auto? :rolleyes:
sharing ---> to share = "delen" :)
instead of "gedachte" you better say "dacht" (thought). ;)
-------> a thought = een gedachte
-------> I thought = ik dacht
Not bad!!! You're improving! :)

[AIRAM]

ik dacht wij waren delen een auto? :p

dank u NJS117 :D

[captainCorr]

ik wil niet iemand op de achterbank horen schreeuwen: neeeeeeeee mandy, niet te hard rijden!! :p

I live also very close to the German border, and I do also have German at school.. I live near by Oberhausen...you know that?

Maar... Oberhausen is niet echt dicht bij de grens, ongeveer 100 km weg...
(But... Oberhausen in not really close to the border, about 100 km away...)

Waar in Nederland woon je dan? Misschien in de buurt van Nijmegen? Daar heb ik gestudeerd.
(Where in the NL do you live? Maybe near Nijmegen? I studied there.)

[cheryl15nl]

Ik woon ook vlak bij Duitsland, vlak bij Gangelt en Aken.

I live near Germany too, near Gangelt and Aachen (Aken).

[Shaniaolivia]

Funny thread this is! :)

[SevenUp!]

So..uhh, Marika wants to learn to be Dutch??:p

[aFinn]

Funny thread this is! :)Oh my goodness what did you find, lol! :funny:

[Paul]

Now I dont buy this...here are the Dutch fans making it sound easy, nice short words which all sound almost the same as English....

Then when you see the language in action the words are impossible to say and each word on average 20 letters long. :funny:

I think our longest word is antidissestablishmentarianism. Thats a short word for the Dutch. :p

[Shaniaolivia]

LOL! :)
Wonder what that means?:)

[SevenUp!]

antidissestablishmentarianism

I think that's the reasoning behind being against the rules and regulations of dis establishment. :p

[Paul]

What is the definition of 'antidisestablishmentarianism'?

It's not only the longest word in the dictionary, but it means "opposition to the withdrawal of state support or recognition from an established church" (especially in reference to the Anglican Church in 19th-century England).

Apparantly. :p

[UllaCountryGal]

how did you find out it was the longest word in the dictionary?

[Paul]

I just knew, and it said it a few other places on the net. Don't worry I didn't read the whole dictionary. :p

[UllaCountryGal]

Talking about long words, here are two long worda from my language:
