Dutch World Domination!?

Nederlandse Mafia? Interessant idee, ik weet niet of mijn nederlands daar tegenaan kan. Na 15 jaar weinig nederlands the schrijven hoop ik dat er niet te veel fouten in zitten.

En VVV laat me steeds an het VVV denken in plaats van FOS Ik denk toch niet dat het VVV informatie aan ons heeft voor toeristen

Mijn volgende vakantie terug naar Nederland is in 2006 (Wereld CUp voetbal in Duitsland en dan 3 weken in Europa uithangen)... Duurt dus nog een poosje

LOL. I always call it Dutchlish.

I have a nasty habit of speaking Dutchlish to my folks, because my Dutch is steadily getting worse, although the recent Dutch mafia and my 8 days in Holland speaking only Dutch have certainly made things a bit better. I also picked up a couple of novels in Holland. But now that I'm done reading them I have to find a place here that sells Dutch books.... Perhaps the Dutch Cash and Carry.

I learned English while watching Family Ties and the Cosby Show...

Pronunciation is easy Just pronounce each letter... Well, ok, maybe not, because the diphthongs are enough to put anyone's tongue in knots.

Try "Scheveningen" (Ok, that's just being mean).

Or go to this site to get some initial exposure to the Dutch Alphabet: http://www.smartphrase.com/Dutch/du_pronunciation.shtml

This site isn't bad either: http://www.stanford.edu/~sipma/dupron.html

It's a town in South Holland and we test to see if people are truly Dutch or not because it's so hard to pronounce properly.

FD -- haven't we been through Dutch World Domination before?

Vraak, someone revived the old thread. Yes, we've already had the Dutch mafia game
