Very interesting. :) I did not know, now I do (another piece of the puzzle).
Really a great job. It’s in articles like this you see how globalisation works :)
hi lucy. dir auch alles gute :) well, german and dutch are really quite close. and if the dutch speak very slowly you are able to understand most of the meaning. I think it works the other way round, too. today I received a christmas package full of dutch goods (cookies, coffee, tea, jam etc) and I thought “really quite close to german”. so yes, basically we can understand the meaning of a sentence, maybe not the whole sense, but the direction of the idea, I would say.
but a dutch student of mine told me that dutch is a mixture of 30% french, 30% english, 30% german and 10% unknown (maybe languages from their former colonies). so you can’t automatically say, that a german person who only speaks german might understand the dutch. maybe I can understand them because I speak french and english, too?! so you see, really a good question ;)
Danke schön :) There will be a new one for the new year’s eve.
thank you :) always great to get feedback, especially when it’s so nice ;) there are more to come, so stay tuned.
thank you for this post. great information!
I agree, superb german lessons!
Hi you all, well, there are many ways to learn german as a true beginner. One of the methods that work to learn it quite fast is to study the grammar part on your own, to get behind the theory and then start as soon as possible to talk to a native speaker. With the internet, no problem today. There are free language exchange communities to start with or, if you want a more professional approach, you can take private or group lessons online.
Here in europe people come back to the handicrafts, too. But now there are more a luxury good than a normal piece of work. The advantage is of course, that the manufacturers that survived the “plastic” era are now getting a decent price for their great work.
well, I would sell my site for already 1.5 billion, a bargain :D
i am afraid to ask what is in the recipe :)
but what about a stair to the cellar?
although I knew the answer (saw it in a documentary) I would not like to try it :-|
