Germania: een mythe, de waanzin voorbij

[de_pressie]

I wrote this review for university. Assignment: write a review about a book/movie/exhibition on your field of study for a mainstream magazine/paper. As I study in the Netherlands, it's, obviously, Dutch.

De Roomse Sint-Pietersbasiliek moet er in zijn geheel in ver-dwijnen kunnen. Als bouwsteen gebruiken we graniet en de Volkshal zal over

....it's excellent!

[de_pressie]

Wow, since when do you understand Dutch? ;-)

[i_do_nothing]

lol, i know how to introduce myself!

[de_pressie]

Please do so! (In Dutch, not German)

Halo, mijn naam ist Serena, aardig om u te ontmoeten.

although I am sure I spelt everything wrong. did i say it all right?

[de_pressie]

Nice try, really.

Hallo is with double l, and ist is German, whereas 'is' is the Dutch spelling. And, 'aardig' is used to describe 'nice' as a person's character. Nice, as in 'good', would be 'leuk'.

But then again, you're completely understandable.

So Serena, ook leuk jou te ontmoeten. ;-) Kom eens langs als je in de buurt bent.

[i_do_nothing]

and...i have no clue what you just said!

[de_pressie]

[de_pressie]

Nooo, put some effort into it. ;-)
