Any Dutch people around?

Re: Any Dutch people around?

I would've gone with German - but I hated that teacher sooo much. She was one of them women that won't accept that they are of the plumpier kind and insists on wearing smaller sized clothing - I swear, the button on her jeans looked so stressed that if it shot away it would kill someone.

Add to that she was of that characteristic "mean old bag lady"-sort of teacher stereotype.

:lol::lol: Aw, poor Tsuyu.:ninja: It's rather funny how sometimes you get teachers like that...who teach a foreign language.

Ah! Russian! Along with German, that is another "cool" language I wish I could speak. I mean, if you think German/Russian you imagine a big bearded beef-cake of a many speaking with a rumbling thundering voice!

Indeed, woe is me! The problem was, that besides teaching German she was my Swedish teacher too! Oh, did I mention she smelled reaaaaally bad? I don't know if it was a hippie streak in her or something, but she obivously never heard of deoderant - those summer classes when you could see the wet spots under her arm...
*shivers*

And her classroom faced the sun during lunch hours and it didn't have proper air ventilation..

Ahha! No, don't come over! I didn't raise my hand, I don't need help! No.. g-go away! N-nooo! Mommy!

*faints*

Or in my dad's case, slim, ginger and blind...:lol:

I can't get the hang of it...too hard for me. I know some very basic phrases that got me through Russian customs a few years back but seeing as they don't care how much vodka you have on you, it was pretty pointless...

I study alot of languages, but I always slacked off in classes in highschool last year, hopefully i'll wake up this year...but I know a bit of french and Gaelic.

I do know weather in Gaelic:'aimsir', and Magic is 'draoidh'...my memory is vague at the moment

That's a classic. I mean; who didn't have an experience like that in school?
I'm glad I've left that behind (although I actually did learn a few things )

Ooooh! That's really awesome. I barely know Gaelic, although being Irish I know very few words, which were discovered by book or internet looking for something, and I can't remember. Just learning that language would be an incredible experience for me. I'd learn more of my Irish background, etc.

I think Anam Cara means soul friend or something like that.

'deimhin gaisge' means 'true valor'....I just remember my mother telling me that when I was a little kid....I hardly remember though

How cool. Sorry I'm just excited because of love traveling, history, foreign languages and I like discussing this.:ninja:

I know a little German I think. One thing I know is this, someone in my family taught me:

'ich liebe du'
Which means I love you.:lol:

Re: Any Dutch people around?

Yea, me too...it's just ever since I got into highschool I never really excelled in classes. I mean, I liked some of them...but I was always late because I talked to my friends around the halls. I never really remembered Gaelic until it just appeared in my mind.

I remember my grandfather going,"gaisge, dannarra, a creide!" Which means:Brave, loyal, and stubborn! then he would whack me with a rolled up newspaper.

I don't blame you, history and travel and heritage is always interesting...more interesting than present for me :]

....this is probably off topic, but I really don't mind. Honestly, I don't know that much Dutch, I have no heritage for it either

Well, this thread developed into a much more interesting 'discussion' then the topic's name suggests

Maybe I should rename it?

Re: Any Dutch people around?

A bit random, but Arnold "Terminator" truly says the coolest things in German;

"Das macht mich stocksauer. Jetzt bin ich sauer."

Haha.... Anybody who knows what it means, or should I tell ya'll?

Re: Any Dutch people around?

Shoot.

"This makes me stinking mad. Now I'm mad."

Arnold's da man!
