[QUOTE="Fladian, post: 127607, member: 5833"] Dutch (my native language) is supposed to have more in common with German than English (which is true, as I am currently fluent in both English and Dutch but ironically enough not in my favorite 'language') does, but that doesn't mean it automatically becomes easy to understand or not hard to learn. Actually, quite bluntly put: I suck in German and am a bit ashamed because of it, because a lot of my (old) friends are partly German and my father is completely fluent in it and constantly tries to encourage me in learning German (when he noticed that encouraging me to learn French was in vain). But in general, not that much English has something in common with German. "Gazunteiht." I'm not sure how you spell it, but the Dutch version is pronounced almost similar. 'Gezondheid.' And to be honest, I'm kinda tired to say that lately. A friend of mine has something special while sneezing. I've known her for about one and a half (or perhaps two) years now, and I've yet to hear her sneeze once. When she sneezes, she sneezes at (the very) least three times in a row. In the good hope that she'll sneeze only one time for once, I'll always reply to it... *sigh* Good habits turning bad. =P Still, German is a beautiful language, but I don't speak it. The only two languages I am able to speak fluently are English and Dutch. French, Italian, Spanish, German and a few other languages I know a bit of, but barely enough to create a sentence of, let alone hold a conversation with it. A friend of mine speaks twelve different languages, which was directed as a blow against me. It's been a little while since I've talked with her, but the proof she gave me was strong enough. She is quite good in all of them as well, which is perhaps the most scariest of them all. To make the blow against me even worse... she is three (or was it four?) years younger than I am and is so darn good in those languages... (She was the one who convinced me to take Spanish classes; I could choose between German, Spanish and Frenc... uh... Spanish classes) *shivers* Come to think of it... she still owes me a meal.
