Seulement le prix c'est different

If you've ever considered learning Dutch, then now is good time to start. You'll be able to understand this parody of Jacques Chirac.

Thanks for the link. This Brit already speaks Dutch and thus is able to understand it. I would also urge more people to learn Dutch, especially English-speaking people. I found it most illuminating to discover the opinions and customs of a people first hand. As an intellectual exercise it is useful, and it served as a useful shortcut to other Germanic languages. I can even converse with my wife's relatives on the Flemish side - just!

Having said all that, I think textbooks should come with a health warning: Dutch can change without warning at regular intervals. By the time I found that out, it was too late to go back. I'm off then to eat my Saturday _pannenkoek_ )with bacon of course).
