Blue Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Hello - English...........Goodbye - English.......Thank you - English.....Love - EnglishBonjour - French.......Au Revoir - French.......Merci - French...........Amour - French Hola - Spanish...........Adios - Spanish..........Gracias - Spanish........Amor - Spanish In Dutch: Hallo - Tot ziens - Bedankt - Liefde I'm fluent in Dutch - I need to, I earn my money with the Dutch language, it's my job. And I do my best to be as fluent as possible in English, but it's not my first language. In school I learned German and French. I'm not very fluent in it though. Reading and understanding is no problem for me (especially German) but I have the nasty habit to switch over to English while speaking. It happens automatically, English words keep coming up to my head, very annoying sometimes. Oh and I learned Latin (for 4 years). So I can recognize words in other languages that are derived from Latin words, but don't ask me to translate entire sentences in Latin - it's too long ago. Thanks for the Maori lesson Rosina! I recognize a few words, like aroha, kia ora and some numbers and days of the week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romis Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Mmmmmmmmm....argentinian spanish eh?? What about this.....

I can learn some romanian for those who want to know a little Romanian - I would like to learn that. I already know French, Spanish and Portuguese and of course Romanian is a little related to these so perhaps I could pick it up?? Could you conjugate a Romanian verb for me? For example, the verb 'to love'? I love , you love, he loves, she loves etc. Just for me to see what it looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 About the Dutch language: especially the rude and naughty expressions are often picked up very easily by foreigners. I won't write them down here, this forum is too nice for that. A nice exercise, say it loud say it clear: We gaan met de vrachtwagen van Groningen naar Scheveningen. Most Scottish and Israelian people I met in my life had no trouble pronouncing this typical Dutch sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
