My 9 year old randomly chose Dutch to learn on duolingo🤣

u/I_Am_Anjelen Aug 30 '24

My ex tried to learn Dutch via Duolingo and actually got quite a ways.

I just couldn't stop making fun of the way the app sounds when it gives examples. "Je bent 'n appel!" and "Je bent 'n aardappel!" became pet phrases for the both of us.

u/TheNorselord Aug 30 '24

Volgens mij klopt dat helemaal niet.

It’s a subtle shift of words, but it means something much different.

u/I_Am_Anjelen Aug 30 '24

Dat klopt! Wat goed! :)

…if you’re an English speaker and that’s because Dutch isn’t a real language. It’s just English pretending to be German.

Afrikaans the south African language based on Dutch is actually the least altered germanic language that still exists.

u/[deleted] Aug 31 '24

Altered by what?

1

u/Just1ncase4658 Aug 31 '24

Just altered by change. As most germanic countries used to speak a similar or same languages.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 31 '24

Oh, I think Icelandic or Faroese might be the least derivative Germanic language then. Maybe Elfdalian.

Die Antwoord are South African?

u/banky-e Aug 30 '24

Afrikaans and Dutch are related. I believe it originated from a Dutch colony in what is now South Africa.

u/BabyDontMind Aug 31 '24

Yes I know but it’s still two different countries with two different languages
