Nice to see you're still going strong with your Dutch, Vos! You're doing great.
If you don't mind, though, I do have some small remarks on your last writings. I rewrote your entry the way a native speaker would have (more or less) written it. I hope you find this useful. Ik ben de hele week ziek geweest, en had geen internet! Het was zwaar (/moeilijk). Gelukkig had ik veel boeken om te lezen. En mijn vriend had erg lekker eten gemaakt (erwtensoep!). Daarnaast heb ik ook (best) veel Nederlands gestudeerd. Morgen ga ik terug naar de universiteit maar het is (al) mijn laatste semester! Ik denk dat ik dus op het einde van juni afgestudeerd zal zijn (/zal afstuderen). Ik denk daar graag over na... Some explanations: - "Gelukkig had ik veel boeken te lezen" means you had the obligation to read many books, you had a stack of books and had to finish reading them all. By adding "om", you're saying you have a stack of books, all of which you could read but you don't have to if you don't feel like reading. - "(best) veel Nederlands": Nederlands is a noun you can't count. You can't say "twee Nederlandsen" so "een goede hoeveelheid Nederlands" of "een aantal Nederlands" is incorrect. Those words always demand a plural form of the noun. Best thing to do, is to say you studied "veel Nederlands" of "best veel Nederlands" (quite a lot of). I hope you're feeling well again! If not: veel beterschap! 3 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Mieke: bedankt voor uw verbetering van mijn fout. Ik had u een paar maanden geleden een berichtje gestuurd over een eventueel Skype uitwisseling, hebt ge het wel ontvangen?

Hee Mieke, leuk om je weer te zien! Hartelijk bedankt voor uw correcties en toelichtingen. Het is altijd erg behulpzaam. En bedankt ook voor de vriendelijke woorden. Hoe gaat alles met jouwe taal studeren?
Hahah the more variaties and variations of Dutch i'm exposed to the better, so go crazy. En als ik heb gezegd, jullie spreken het Nederlands zo mooi! Ik vind de zachte 'G' en de rollende 'R' prachtig. Vandaag was het mijn eerste dag terug naar universiteit. Ze hebben mij mijn unief (timetable?) gegeven, en dit semester krijg ik vier dag weekends! Het was een heel aangenaam verrassing. Na heb ik naar de bibliotheek gegaan als gewoon, om sommige boeken terug te brengen. Dan heb ik uiteindelijk naar thuis gerijdt. De zonsondergang van vandaag was bijzonder luisterrijk. Er waren oranje zonnestralen overal waar je kunt zien, en de wolken lijkt zo zacht, en echter vast zoals ijzer. Ze schenen zoals vuur... Ik probeer zelf een zet te geef, zo ik zal nieuwe woorden begin gebruiken. Maar voor vandaag, volgens mij heb ik genoeg geschrijft.

timetable = lessenrooster
gerijdt = (ben) gereden geschrijft = geschreven luisterrijk is very high in style, an alternative would be prachtig or ontzettend mooi. What do you mean by "Ik probeer zelf een zet te geven"? I'm still playing with Spanish and German, not really studying actively but trying to pick up things while enjoying the language. I realized I wanted to start a language from scratch again, so I began studying Hebrew 3 weeks ago. I like the feeling I get when a sentence I learned just randomly pops into my head during the day (Lod is a beautiful and modern airport :-). Groetjes en nog veel succes! 3 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Bedankt voor de woorden en correcties Mieke.
Lessonrooster! Ik had vandaag alweer die woord nodig hebben. Met "Ik probeer zelf een zet te geven" I was trying to say, 'I'm trying to give myself a push'. Seems it didn't turn out to well, haha.. Better to try and fail than never attempt something I guess. Yes it's quite a great feeling when you notice yourself becoming familiar with a new language.. familiar with that new perspective. I definitely am looking forward to when i'll be able to use and experience them without too much thought and effort though. But I've realised recently that I'm a 'journey' person so to speak. In it for the trials, travels and revelations rather than the final concluding moment. Luckily however there are too many languages and other things to attempt to master, or even just experience in this life time. So i'll have plenty of linguistic, creative, and enriching paths on which to walk and challenge myself on, for as far as my mind can see. Maar veel succes met jouw Hebreeuws studeren Mieke! As for the languages, things are going well. Spanish has been continuing on a regular basis, and i'm slowly establishing what feels to be a sturdy foundation, which is exciting to say the least. And for the however manieth time i've said this.. Such a beautiful invigorating language! I'm still taking things slow, as not to let my Dutch suffer. But as things go on i'm startng to manage my time better, and also retain and learn Dutch better. So i'm slowly coming towards that place of balance where I can study both without effecting either one. So things are looking alive and well for both Spanish and Dutch. So for Dutch today I started writing another letter to my Oma, and listened to some Louisa May Alcott. I always love going back to an audio book and picking up on new words and understanding sentence structures better.. today was a good day for my listening comprehension. Also yesterday I somehow got talking briefly to a Dutch fellow in a store who had no accent what so ever and has been living in Australia for 50 years. He was also a language lover and is currently studying Mandarin. When he asked me what languages I was learning, and I answered Dutch, his immediate response was of course "waarom Nederlands?". He didn't mean it in a why would you study Dutch kind of way, I think most Nederlanders, atleast all the ones i've encountered, are always surprised and interested in why you are studying their language. It's a very endearing reaction to behold. Wel nu, helaas, moet ik wat slaap krijgen. Gelukkig is het een beetje koud vanavond, dus misschien zal ik een goede slaap hebben. Welterusten iedereen, Vos 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

It's encouraging that you're finding a balance with your two languages because I'm also going very slowly with my L3 so as not to affect my Dutch. It's great that you can get something back from your Dutch studies by writing to your Oma :D Veel succes met jou studie verder! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Hallo mijn goede volken,
Vandaagochtend heb ik naar een markt in de Victoriaansebergen (als je zij kan die noemen) gegaan. Het was vandaag de markt z'n achtendertig verjaardag, en alle de mensen van die kleine stad en de omringende dorpen hebben daar komen bezochten, om alle de eten, kunst, en belangrijkste de sfeer te genieten. Het was een heel mooie dag. Ik heb een nieuwe buikriem gekocht die erg goedkoop was, echt leuk leer ook. Wat kruidplanten en een paar groenten gehaald, en dan heb ik een Poffertjes stalletje gezien. Dus natuurlijk moest ik wat kopen! Ik heb ze niet gehad sinds ik een klein kind was. Ze waren heerlijk! Met boter, suiker en een beetje linde sap. De laatste ding die ik had ooit verwacht om te vinden. Ik wilde de mensen vraagen of ze Nederlanders waren, maar ze waren erg druk. Nu gaat ik wat lekker avondeten maken, Aju allemaal! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Forgot to mention, did some Spanish yesterday, and plan on doing some more tonight after dinner. And thanks to
Quabazaa and this fantastic thread that he's created.. here I've discovered the sheer unrestrained beauty which is Mercedes Sosa. What a voice.. and more so the power and conviction which she manages to convey through it. Really moving stuff. Have a listen: Mercedes Sosa - Gracias a la vida 1 person has voted this message useful |
