Apart from 'full' itself, I don't think there are words that end with it that have double L.quote:

Wasn't sure about there, thought is it sounded wrong and it did.
Always thought that useful was with double l instead of one. Thx for pointing it out.
(And if there are, I'm sure someone will correct me within the next ten minutes or so.

I don't see the point in this sub thread, however everyone is welcome to enjoy this forum in the way they like to do.

Danny, you need to make this sticky i think.
Ik ben een man met een onverklaarbare fascinatie voor capuchons. Ze zijn mijn tweede huid—altijd om me heen, altijd vertrouwd. Ik draag ze niet alleen, ik lééf erin. Het voelt magisch als iemand er zachtjes aan trekt, een speels moment vol onverwachte connectie. En als mijn capuchon ergens blijft haken? Pure vreugde! Een klein avontuur in het alledaagse, alsof de wereld me even vasthoudt. Capuchons en ik? Een onafscheidelijk duo

I'd say they'll just pull people from top of their karma-list, ask them if they wanna volunteer for the job(s) and keep working their way down till they got enough volunteersquote:
Most Dutch speakers of English think their English vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation are the bee's knees.quote:
Ik kan maar niet behelpen dat ik alles lees met een kolenengels accent zoals jullie schrijven.
All they hear from Brits/Yanks is admiration, that 'it's so remarkable how good your English is'... Well, that 'compliment' isn't worth that much for two reasons.. 1. Politeness, especially from the Brits. Just politeness. 2. The average Brit, let alone American, doesn't speak anything other than English and finds someone able to make themselves understood in another language 'remarkable'
Ja doei.
True that. Those Yankees and British are right. However, to my own experience, the Dutch often brag to themselves that they can speak english fluently; but I do not often hear this in practice.quote:Op zondag 3 januari 2016 00:13 schreef motorbloempje het volgende:

When I attended international exchange courses, I was amazed how bad everyone was at speaking the english language to the foreign students. I did not expect this to happen at hbo level (no, not the channel).
I'm actually more amazed at German people speaking Dutch and they typically do a better job at that. But lets be honest, usually the people who's mother tongue is a bigger language and who learned one of the smaller ones, often are more motivated to do so (they chose to learn it) while the other way around you kinda have to.quote:

I have to post in this topic before it's closing.
Vertel het me en ik zal het vergeten. Laat het me zien en ik zal het onthouden. Laat het me ervaren en ik zal het me eigen maken.
De toekomst hangt af van wat je nu aan het doen bent.

In fact this was a kind of back find post.

I seriously doubt there's a single native speaker using this forum. So I suppose this is just a subforum where we're all gonna circle jerk and show off our English. 
Can we have another one for Chinese?

Baat 't niet, schaadt 't niet. Dus slikken, kreng.
Chinese is not my cup of tea.quote:Op zondag 3 januari 2016 09:21 schreef SuperHarregarre het volgende:
