Yeah, me too. Except I normally can't understand Dutch anyway
But seriously, Dutch is somewhat similar to German, so I can kind of understand it sometimes. But then other times I can't puzzle it out even with the rest of the commercial to help me. I would wonder if Dutch speakers can mostly understand German, but I hear most of them know four languages anyway :/
Inorite? :disgust: Can Spain fans just congratulate the country and not be assholes?
Nope. Sorry.
I don't have ties to either country, but I just like Holland better. (Don't take that the wrong way, I just like Holland better as a country because it's more politically left. Which in the end doesn't have anything to do with the World Cup, but what the hell, I feel too obliged to root for someone.)
Well I'm Dutch and suck at German, but it's still very alike. English Dutch and German are all three pretty alike.
I'm half mexican and I barely got a "C" in Spanish 1.I only speak English fluently.
. . .
But I know more Japanese than Spanish, and I'm half-Puerto Rican.
I didn't even take Spanish classes.I'm half mexican and I barely got a "C" in Spanish 1.

Really? I've tried to read some things from my German friend but I've never seen any connection. French is very close to English too though, I can see that a whole lot better.
I thought it was because France took over England. ._.English German and Dutch are all German languages. Italian French and Spanish are all Roman languages. French and English only share some words because of the war they had for quite a time, but the grammar is pretty different.
Just look:
I have
Ich habe
Ik heb
J'ai
I thought it was because France took over England. ._.
Ah I see.
I do wish I took french back as a sophomore in High school because then I would've gotten three years instead of two and I would probably be able to understand people speaking it better. Reading a language is easy, hearing it is hard.![]()
Would I get banned for telling Kasumi, an administrator, that one of her posts in the World Cup thread is close to flaming?
Nope. You can report it and the moderators will look into it. Of course there is small chance that anything will happen, as the only one with a higher rank than her is her husband, but you can never get infracted for a report (unless the report is unserious).
