#Dutch lessons

[halvedmimi]

I know someone who just had a baby. She is a Dutch woman living in an English speaking country. All of her family are back in The Netherlands. She wants to speak Dutch to her son so he will grow up bilingual and be able to speak with her family but she feels rude speaking another language when English speakers are around. Even if it's just her partner (he's kind of a narcissist). My mum and I want to learn some Dutch so we can help teach the little one, and so she can be more comfortable. But Duolingo isn't exactly helping. The learning format is a bit too obscure.

If anyone has suggestions for text books or online resources, please send me your suggestions. Thank you.

Ok I have decided to start a saga of the fun things that happen in my Dutch lessons because I am non-binary and not ashamed to ask things and correct things, and my teacher is an old dutch woman.  I am in my second lesson and there are already so many things that have happened and it is hilarious

Theres this travel company (?) I often get ads for called "klook" and every single time I see it I immediately go "Oh! I need to go do my Dutch lessons!"

The company has literally nothing to do with The Netherlands lol

I think a lot of people forget why a character like Micah exists - aside from aiding the plot.

Micah is a guide (of sorts) for you to see what a "bad man" really is, to help you understand why Arthur does what he does and to show you that there's actual thought and morals behind his actions.

Micah, on the other hand, kills because he wants to and for stupid reasons. He is a malicious, mocking, hurtful, and sadistic man who cares very little for anybody but himself. He's a misogynist, racist, and frankly irredeemably evil.

As much as Micah was able to manipulate Dutch, Arthur could see right through him. Ultimately causing a rift between Dutch and Arthur, which is exactly what Micah wanted.

Micah was made for you to see the differences between "good" and "bad" people.

Characters like Sean, Lenny, Charles, all "good" people who have done "bad" just like the rest of the gang, including Arthur. I think the reason that people are quick to say that Arthur was "a bad person until he got tb" is because we see his experiences first hand (plus player choices) and not much of the other "good" gang members' "bad" actions. That and his motives and his background is sometimes misunderstood by players.

Arthur is a "good man", "a saint", "an angel", "a blessing" to some and a "bad", "evil", "cruel" man to others.

Playing as Arthur means getting to understand his internal conflicts and his desire to be a better person, something Micah had no intentions of being.

dutch really was so completely and utterly blinded by his own ego. anybody with the decades of experience he has as a conman - and an intellectual and pseudo philosopher no less - should know that the first thing to look out for in any situation is something or someone agreeing with you so wholly that it erodes all sense or wariness.

A bonus Molly sketch from my gilded cage things! Given the circumstances for Molly in particular during chapter 4 and the fact that Dutch being the way he is would likely just use her as an accessory for the evening I can’t imagine her having a good time, but at least the dress is pretty

One thing I find particularly funny in the dutch version of the Lego Dreamzzz book, was the translator's absolute refusal to translate Bunchu's name. So instead of Bunchu being called Bunchu, he consistently gets called ''Plushie-Rabbit'' (now that I think about it, I don't think Bunchu has a name in the dutch dub either)

And Nightmare King's translation doesn't make much sense either. He gets called "The lord of nightmares'' probably to make it roll of the tongue better. But I feel like a 1:1 translation would still be fitting and be much easier to say then his extended name version.

My physics teacher's point of view-

Children learning physics in their native language:

Girl who has been learning said language for less than 2 years: forgets the Dutch word for squared:

Teacher: it's kwadraat (squared in Dutch)
