Umm... this is probably completely wrong, but just wondering, if it were a female french person, wouldn't it be 'la' as opposed to 'le'?

~Wobby~

I think masculine is 'la' and feminine is 'le'.

Nope, feminine is 'la', masculaine is 'le'

Oh, of course! What was I thinking of before?! :lol:

Goede Morgen

Ik spreek een beetje Nederlandse ook Franse en Duitse, maar het is niet gemakkelijk te schrijven.

Would love to speak it better.

Linguistic lot, aren't we.

"Nederlands, Frans, Duits", without "e" at the end. The rest is fine !
You must have a special reason to learn Dutch... ?
Whenever you have a question about it, I'm ready to help !
:)

P.S. I would appreciate if someone corrected my bad English too... :rolleyes: :P

:lol: :lol:
Indeed, I only speak a few European languages, but I won't mention them again, because I have already been showing off about that enough. Soon I'll be banned from the forums because of my arrogance... :P
Hey I don't mind you being a bit cheeky, chocolatedog ! I'm really not that quick to take offence, on the contrary : I'm amused ! :D

ooooops - my first venture written dutch for ages and I boobed!

Thanks for the correction ;) acp

I have spent quite a lot of time in the Netherlands, played a few (organ) concerts over the years, so thought it polite to address the audience in their own language. They complimented me on my accent, but its very deflating when they go on in PERFECT English.
Trouble is if you don't use it, you lose it. Fortunately I have two wonderful friends from Krimpen aan de Ijssel who will not talk to me in anything but Dutch when we meet.

Need more practise, need more time!
