@ scamp I do not like to be read in a yorkie accent. Could you change mine to Welsh :p ?
And yeah he learn so quickly he already tells me bye mummy I love you and all when I go off to work.
Well I wish you all a very nice evening but I'm off to bed.
I won't tell Scampman about the Welsh, he dislikes it very much, so to speak
Every time I read your name now I will hear: Postcode lotterrrryyyyyyy in a Welsh accent. That was an advert on tv here haha
It's so cute when little ones start to speak English
Goodnight love! (love is a word everyone here uses for girls/women )

I remember being in Yorkshire and thinking everyone was flirting with me because they all called me love. Little did I know
I still feel really important when someone calls me love
That means: I make it into something important to feel better.
Oh, by the way, when are you coming over for that cup of tea?

I watched a youtube clip to hear a yorkshire accent. I'm quite able to understand it. I think it sounds funny! The Belfast accent is horrible!!! Once i was talking to a guy in a pub and i thought i forgot how to understand the English language. The combination with the loud music and the accent made it quite impossible to understand.

Don't let the bed bugs bite, Tv
Sorchaaaa
How is your cat doing?
Elfje, I found out after I moved to the UK that a lot of people on Viva live outside of NL.
I never knew.
The cat is improving every day! He actually tries to fight us when it's time to give him his medicine, but I see this as a good thing. The last week he has been so meek, just letting everything happen to him. He also flexed his toes today and he has been using his back legs to get himself into his basket.
There are quite a lot of Viva ladies living outside of the Netherlands. I think I like hanging around here so much because I can keep in touch with popular stuff in the Netherlands this way.

Makes sense though don't you think? For me it's also a way to keep up with my Dutch. God knows my Dutch sucks by now, and my familie and Dutch friends always make fun of my foreign expressions that I translate into Dutch. I don't even know that I say something wrong halve of the time.
I'm a bit scared of what kind of Dutch I will teach my little one.
Maybe I should open another topic and invite Dutch teachers to it, as I hardly remember any of the grammar. I try to do the d,t thing correctly by using smurf

Oooooh this is so much fun! I'm currently still living in the Netherlands (hate it when people say Holland), but hopefully I will be moving to the lovely county of Bedfordshire somewhere after summer. My boyfriend is English, so that's why! According to all of his friends my English sounds very posh and at work I do get asked quite often if I'm English (I must say I'm quite proud of that, because my family has the worst Dutch accents ever).
I would love to have some Cadbury chocolate right now! Best chocolate ever!

Hahaha upwiththebirds I had the same opinion about holland/the Netherlands. Until I found out that the people here don't even know their equivelant to the Netherlands and ask me if it's in Europe
For the picture, I live in an European country. Not that far away. But now I say holland, or amsterdam. After all amsterdam is a country for some people (especially Americans)

But can you imagine that I once went out to buy stamps and the envelop said the equivelant of 'the Netherlands' and the girl asked me, is that in Europe!?!?!??
Okay at that point I thought, this girl works in a tobacco shop, maybe she isn't that bright.
Until I got the same question by someone working at the city hall another time. Someone that just deals with foreign affairs?! Talking about embarrassing.

Yeah this whole Dutch / deutsch thing. Is it really that hard to understand?
I mean either we speak English and we are talking about Dutch, or we speak in German. But they randomly mix it, and don't get what's wrong with the picture.
There is an excellent YouTube movie about it though. Do you know it? Wait I'll look it up.........
