Andre from South Africa presents: "The Afrikaner Language Thread"

I'd like to be able to write some basic sentences in Dutch.

that's the thing greg even though I understand Dutch I don't speak it so I can't teach you anything Sander will be able to help :)

Sorry : I thought you were an Afrikaaner.

I am (Afrikaner) but we speak Afrikaans not Dutch :)

I see.

They really are two different languages so I can't teach you Dutch as little as Sander would be able to teach you Afrikaans

on a completely unrelated note, I had a delicious coffee with amarula (south african liqueur) this week. it was wondrous.

OH amarula!! ever had it on ice tyrone?

Sometimes use it when I make ice cream. Heavenly!!

Basic dutch?!

My name is ..... - Mijn naam is .../Ik heet ...

I am ...years old - Ik ben ... jaar oud

I live in ... - Ik woon in

I don't speak dutch. - Ik spreek geen Nederlands/Ik praat geen Nederlands


Wan't to know more sentences?

I told greg you would be able to help him Sander

Well Andre...I am a genius!

heh heh I know!!
