That is great! Now for another language. My parents are from Holland. "van" is like "vahn" and "Gogh" is an awful lot like clearing your throat. Tough sound to make if it's not your native tongue. Dh calls Dutch a "hairball" language........  with that hard gutteral "g" sound. You made me laugh. Lennie |

I imagine yours is the most correct, Lennie. And I speak English wonderfully well, thank you Dorothy - I just don't speak American. I have to admit Winnie Bay Gogh is the one I like the most. love and kisses, Jan

Depends on in which part of the country you live. For such a tiny country they have so many dialects and can't understand each other from one end to the other!  My folks are from the The Hague (Den Haag) area. Lennie |
