Are you tired of being a loser.

Are you tired of not understanding you Mexican Cleaning Lady ?

Well, worry no more.
Instead of being a boring english loser who can't understand his or hers cleaning lady, you could be a boring DUTCHSPEAKING loser.
And you could fire you're Mexican Cleaning Lady and hire a Dutch one. They are way more effective anyway

This first post is too test how many people are interrested.
Probalby 5 or something

I guess I could give it a try
Never hurts to learn another language

Yay.

Well, im going to bed now.

Weltrusten.

(That's goodnight in Dutch. That is the first lesson, learn it. There will be a test)

how do you say you spelled "your" wrong in dutch?

I don't think it would hurt for me to learn a third language. I'll try this.

Well, my english is fine, my italian is okay. May as well put Dutch under my "I can say good night and I can also count to ten in it" right there with German

Ich spreche deutsch, aber sehr schlechte.

Yeah...i suck at German Spelling anymore

And I am put to shame o.o

Third language! <3

Das ist sicher schrecklich. Schade.

Alrgithy then. Let's start talking Dutch:

First the Vowels(?):

How does one pronounce them:

A as in Barack Obama.
E as in Let
O as in Border
I as in Big
Oe as in moo
Ou and Au as the in cow, so it could be like this: cauw or couw. It's pronounced the same way
Ie as in
U as in burden
Y is pronounced the same way

Now, let's start counting:

1 -> Een
2 -> Twee
3 -> Drie
4 -> Vier
5 -> Vijf
6 -> Zes
7 -> Zeven
8 -> Acht
9 -> Negen
10 -> Tien

Go learn it.

Think I have enough languages to learn the next years.

I speak Icelandic, English, Alot of Danish ( Havent mastered it yet) and then in college I'll learn german. So no room for dutch.

For now.

Learn German, Icelandish and Danish and your half-way there.
Then you have atleast the pronouncation right.

Know what you mean, I pronounce A, E, O, I the same way you do.

Nice job starting with the basics, I can tell this may require Several different "threads" (ex: H2SD part 2)
just cause the information may be so vast

you also need to know the word for Netherlander in dutch is 'Kaaskop'

I was gonna say "wow, that's a lot like german, just different spellings" hehee

Lol. I think Kaaskop is more or less an insult for dutch people. Belgiums and people from Suriname call us that, atleast i think they do
