Well I could help you, but I think there are some nice German people on the board who could help you even more.. images/smilies/smile.gif

swek · January 16th, 2005, 6:27 PM

Who ?

Jostyrostelli · January 16th, 2005, 6:36 PM

OT: Hey Swek, do you get Dutch class in Germany btw? Never hear of ANY country that gets Dutch class, besides Belgium .

swek · January 16th, 2005, 6:45 PM

No, there are no Dutch classes as far as i know, you could take Chineese at my school though images/smilies/smile.gif

I think dutch has been considered unimportant for a long time. Recently there has been a change of attitude to teach dutch in the regions near the borders due to the europeon integration but still nothing concrete.

Guten Tag! Ich heiße Pia DeVries. Ich komme aus Finnland, aber ich wohne hier in Amerika seit 1984. Meine Familie ist groß. Ich habe vier Schwestern und vier Brüder. Alle meine vier Schwestern und ein Bruder wohnen auch hier in Amerika. Meine Mutter und drei Brüder wohnen in Finnland. Mein Vater ist tot. Ich bin fünfunddreißig Jahre alt und ich bin verheiratet seit acht Jahren. Das bedeutet, daß ich einen Mann habe. Er heißt Matt und er ist aus Kalifornien. Seine Familie ist auch sehr groß. Wir haben zwei Kinder. Ich habe langes, blondes Haar und braune Augen. Meine Hobbies sind Lesen, Kochen, Spinnen, und Sport. Mein Lieblingssport ist Eishockey, aber ich spiele Eishockey nicht, weil ich ein Mädchen bin. Ich tanze auch sehr gern, und manchmal spiele ich auch entweder Fußball oder Tennis.

You can say Tag! but that's not formal German. The introduction (Mayer, Rudolf Mayer) contrary is very formal. That doesn't makes sense, no German would say that.
