Why Dutch is English with a different pronunciation ;-)! (41:15)

Latest Episode

Always wanted to learn another language? Let's reveal a secret.... ;-) You already know ..Dutch!

Oktober 17, 12.30 PM Operator11-time (07:30:00 p.m. GMT), I'll show you why Dutch is just ..English with a different pronunciation!

You don't believe it? Watch this: hand=hand; arm=arm; hair=haar; rib=rib; knee=knie; is=is; was=was; etcetera... (=etcetera ;-))

With some pronunciation-tricks, the Dutch will be amazed next time you visit Amsterdam! And you'll understand *Why* the Dutch make these hilarious mistakes like "Make that the cat wise" and that most infamous (but fully decent in Dutch:) "I fok dogs." Yep, 'fok' means 'to breed' ;-)

So.. start practicing that awful GGGGG and see you on the show!

    Losing Petra (Part 3) (41:48)

    The sun is low, the air smells of oak-leaves, I used to love October. Untill that cruel season took my beautiful sister. My Parents are just shadows of the young Grandparents they used to be.

    What does our society do to prevent suicide? What can we do? Where can you find help when you are depressed? And finally, if awfull tragedy can't be avoided, how do you, me and all of us, in familiar situations, cope with a loss like that?

  • Announcing I.M. Petra, october 11

    Announcing I.M. Petra, october 11 (01:51)

    On october 11 it is 4 yrs since we lost Petra, my beautiful sister.

    She died in hospital, heavily injured by a serious suicide attempt 5 days earlier.

    She was a doctor, she was trained to save lives, and she could not save her own. She was a victim of child-abuse and panicked that day, going to court to sue the guy.

    Her life was not ment to end this way... And we were not born to live without her. But we have to.

    How do you, me and all of us, in familiar situations, cope with a loss like that? Feel free to send me suggestions for the show...

    Wooden Shoes? Do You People Really Wear Them? (00:30)

    What about the Wooden Shoes in The Netherlands? Do we really wear them? No. We do not. Well. SOME of us do. Old farmers. Gardeners. They are easy to step into. You can leave them in your yard :-)

    Translation of the Dutch words in the movie:
    (child 1:) Apple...
    (me:) Did you find an Apple? Show it to me..
    (child 1:) Here, Apple... (shows berry)
    (me:) Oh yeah, well, it has the shape of an apple, and the color...
    (child 1:) Other Apple...
    (me:) What are you doing?
    (child 2:) We are saving woodlice..
    (child 2:) We put them on the Fire Truck...
    :-)
