Day 8 of 364 - Thur 8/11: Google Translate is my Friend


Phrase of the day:     Hoe heet je? (hoo HAYT yuh?)  (What is your name?)
Mijn naam is _ . (meyn NAHM is _.)   (

My name is _.)


Just like in Jr High/ HS Spanish... everyone knows how to ask the other persons name and respond back with theirs, so why not know the same in Dutch?!?
I am getting a little better with the Dutch language. Actually, better with word recognition... not so much in tongue. Some words make total sense while others not so much.   I guess I do have a year to get this down!!
 
2 Quick lessons...

Fri = Vrijdag  (VRAY-dahg)
