Ehm sounds like a stupid question, but when do you use either, and when do you use neither? I keep mixing those two up, so I thought: why not ask all those friendly people of canadiancontent.net? :wink:
Well, I got French at school - every pupil gets French at school here - and it's relatively hard yes. As you point out with Italian - the fact that that language has masculine and female words -, the same accounts for Dutch - we don't have masculine and female words either, like the case is with English, so those languages are tricky for us too. I think that is also one of the reasons why I'm not really fond of Romance languages - not because they aren't beautiful languages, but it is relatively difficult to learn (not the vocabulary though).Omega said:Have you learned any of the Romance languages, Rick?
There are a lot of (descendants of) Ukranians in Canada right?
Rick van Opbergen said:Hey, you speak Dutch , somehow that makes me proud haha. Well, I guess the total number of Dutch people here is two, yeah, me, and JDream; she's from Nijmegen (near the border with Germany), I'm from Eindhoven (you might know it, not so near the border with Germany, but not as far from the border as Amsterdam 8) ).
