Title: So I can pretty much understand spoken Dutch
Post by: Loki Clock on May 29, 2011, 08:43:00 AM
I took a German course this Spring. At 0:51 of this randomly selected video I had, for the first time, the feeling of total comprehension of whole foreign clause - not just getting every word and being able to assemble the meaning immediately after, but actually processing it in the moment and capturing the exact emotion of everything. I have not had that with any other language. Obviously not Old Norse, but nor Icelandic or German. To me this sounds like an Icelandic person (compare pronunciations for "líkami, leyfa") with German and English words thrown in. "Zoveel [potenzionelle]" cued me to start processing in-the-moment. More than knowing the words, it was clearly seeing the emotion of "so much potential." Then the next part sounded like muttered English, and the end like funny German. After that moment I tried to stay in the act and ended up being able to understand almost the whole video.

I wonder if I could. Japanese was too abstract for me, and Chinese I expect would be even more so.

Chinese just sucks since it's super tonal and shit.

Truly, they have evolved to imitate our way of life now.... we must put an end to this madness before they mate with our women.

A week ago, I finally bothered to try and learn Dutch using this book I got from the library. I found out that Dutch apparently has two vowels that aren't found in the English language. I have a very hard time wrapping my head around the concept of stuff that isn't already in the English language, so then I was like "Dutch is hard, let's go shopping."
