It has some similarities to your language, when looking at the symbols there's some vague familiarity, you could even break your tongue as well as endeavour to pronounce a word… but on behalf of some reason the human brain just can’t grasp the nature of where its coming from. the “G” is pronounce like this: chhhh, not like grrr,, but more liken when you have a peace of popcorn stuck to the back of your neck as well as you endeavour to disloge it by rubing the back of your tounge against the back of your neck as well as blowing! ::CChhhhhh!:: Now endeavour to pronounce: Grag gedan! (which means You’re welcome!) But i’m having a good time during my dutch classes (which are Monday as well as Tuesday from 18:30-21:30) as well as i do feel like i’m improving. And once you get used to pronouncing all of the g’s as well as r’s as well as aa’s as well as oo’s, it kind of grows on you Here is more on dutch: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_language At work, preparing on behalf of the weekend (yes, I know its just Tuesday!) wonderbreadw Mon, 25 Aug 2008 23:12:21 -0400 wonderbreadw
