Dutch

Micamaca: nice to read you're interested. If you want to I can learn you some words etc. but I guess there are better ways to do it than by this forum. If you want to, you can sens me I private message.

pickarooney: nou ik heb ze zelf ook door iemand anders in laten vullen en moest ongeveer 360 euro terugbetalen dus misschien kun je het toch beter zelf doen ik zie trouwens dat je een goeie 12 kilometer van me af woont.

Sangre: the correct name of the country I live in is the Netherlands, not Holland like a lot of people use .

Maybe it's true that Dutch people sounds American when they speak English, I guess that's because a lot of tv programs are in American English and so the people hear American English all the time when they watch television. They copy it from tv. Some people told me that I sound a bit like an American the last time I was in England (4 days ago).

SeaSide:

that's because there are also a lot of people who don't know the difference or don't have problems with it. And "Holland" is easier to sing than "the Netherlands". But it's not a big issue or something.

Late reactie van me... al een tijdje niet op dit forum geweest.

12 km richting Tilburg zeg maar. Ik woon in Oirschot.

KlodaX:

What sort of things do you want to learn?

One advice if you really want to learn Dutch in the Netherlands: most people in the Netherlands (most young people) do speak some English and most people try to speak it. If they hear that your language is English the first thing that most people do is speaking English to you and conversate in English. Try to avoid it if possible because I think that I would be very hard to learn the language if everybody talks in English to you. I know some English guys over here and they don't speak Dutch because the don't really need it. Just an advice. I will give you some more information if you want to. You also can send my a private message.
