Going Dutch.....

A few people know that I’m trying to learn some basic Dutch. Grins…..my pronunciation needs so much work !!

In our regular chat room the other day, a Dutch submissive came in, I managed to exchange a few lines of conversation…...only 4 or 5. I even managed to tell her that I’m sorry, I only speak a little Dutch ! *grins. It wasn’t much, but I felt so proud.

Not being linguistically gifted, I’ve worked hard to learn some basic phrases, and have picked up more just through IM conversation with lessa and Dragon M Sir….and phone conversations with them are helping my diabolical pronunciation.

I’m learning it (or trying to) for a few reasons. Partly because I see it as a courtesy to learn some basic words if I intend visiting another country (and I definitely intend visiting Holland again). Partly because I love to learn, even though languages aren’t my forte. And part of my reasoning is that it’s good to learn a few phrases of the language spoken by the man that’s going to have ‘no limits’ on you in a few months !!! If I really act up and annoy Him, I’m hoping that telling Him ‘het spijt me, Dragon M Sir’ (I’m sorry) will help to get me off the hook *grins. Although I must say that the temptation to tell Him ‘goed gedaan jochie’ (well done!) after a flogging will be soooooooo hard to resist !! *laughing.

(points at lessa..she taught me that !!!!)

I’m working my way through a list of phrases that lessa was kind enough to teach me – there are NO Dutch lessons in my city !! And a certain someone has added another phrase to my list…….one which would NEVER be in a standard phrase book !! *grins

So…for now….back to the studying…..tot morgen, en knufffffffels en kussssssss!!!
