Language Learning: Dutch

[somebodywhowantedtoleaveandnotcomeback]

For the comrades who wish to learn Dutch, here is a list of (commonly used) words, expressions, sentences in Dutch. It is my intention that the list will keep growing, so anyone can, in time, learn some basic Dutch. It seemed like fun, and it might be useful as well ;) . I will update this post as often as possible, and if anyone has any requests, questions, remarks, whatever, you can send me a PM, or post a reply here. If any of my Dutch-speaking comrades wish to help, they are of course more than welcome. So here goes:
