Learning Dutch - Lesson 1 - Common Phrases
So you want to learn Dutch? Cool!
I'm an American who has been living in Holland, and I've learned first-hand some of the most important phrases that all tourists should know when they visit this wonderful country.
| ENGLISH PHRASE | DUTCH TRANSLATION |
| Excuse me? | "Excuse me?" |
| Where is the train station? | "Where is the train station?" |
| These women are tested weekly, right? | "These women are tested weekly, right?" |
| When was this one's last test? | "When was this one's last test?" |
| Am I allowed to kiss you? | "Am I allowed to kiss you?" |
| What do we do if the condom breaks? | "What do we do if the condom breaks?" |
| I love you. Will you marry me? | "I love you. Will you marry me?" |
First off - don't be afraid of Dutch hookers. It's not like in the US. Here they have their shit together usually.
Secondly - What the fuck are you doing learning an ugly, dying, useless language? Everybody in Holland speaks English. There's nothing you CAN'T do here by not knowing Dutch. And if you talk to anyone to show off what you learned, they'll just respond in English anyway.
Fuck Dutch. Their food sucks anyway. You should be learning common phrases in a language you'll actually use one day. Like Chinese
| ENGLISH PHRASE | CHINESE TRANSLATION |
| Put down your weapon, I am a civilian. | 下你的武器，我一个平民。 |
| Where are you taking us? | 你在哪里取呢？ |
