So yesterday while perusing Borders with Mr. Bourett for a Danish Language phrase book I decided on my New Years Resolution:
I'm going to fully commit myself to learning Danish...
For anyone who's ever heard my sing song lyrics, try to learn polish, try to repeat phrases or mock accents knows very well this is going to be a challenge.
I Dani Hill am inept. I struggle to learn new languages and or speak them.
As a sign (though small I realize) of my dedication to learning the language my blogspot page is now in Danish. Wish me luck...
This very well could be my last coherent post. After all I know NO Danish.
Here are a few key phrases Alex & I stumbled upon:
wat? ik begrijp het niet, spreekt tu Engles?
(I know what your thinking, Which way to the bar?) But No, this actually means What, I don't understand; do you speak English?
This phrase will become very useful.
ik spreek slecht Netherlands
I speak Dutch very badly.
nee, sorry
No, sorry
wat is dit?
what is this?
I very much like the pronunciation of W's as V's...as in Vat is dit? I might get used to this...hopefully overnight. T-2 DAYS!! :] Uitsketend! Heerlijk! [Excellent! Very Nice!]
