oh no, german is hard? i've already signed up for german courses next year! damn! :wallbang:
Oh poor you - I've been studying it for 6 years now and I still make a lot of mistakes :wallbang: English, French and Italian I never had any trouble with but German is just too unlogical..!

Fabi - that would be cool! :cool:

Alright, here we go in Dutch (not that anybody expected anything else from me but hey, just being a perfectionist here :D). Also, you might notice how Dutch is quite similar to English on some fronts:

Poland Polen
Hello Hallo
Bye Dag
I've got to go Ik moet gaan
See you later Zie je later
I love you Ik hou van jou
I hate you Ik haat jou
This is my house Dit is myn huis
I'm sorry Sorry
Thank you Dank je
Please Alstublieft
Get lost Donder op!
I like you Ik vind je aardig
I dont like you Ik vind je niet aardig
Merry Christmas! Vrolyk Kerstfeest!
Happy New Year Vrolyk nieuwjaar
Happy Birthday Vrolyke verjaardag
In Belgium it's a bit different ;)

Poland= Polen
Hello= Hallo
Bye= Daag
I've got to go= Ik moet gaan
See you later= Tot ziens
I love you= Ik hou van jou/ Ik zie je graag
I hate you= Ik haat je
This is my house= Dit is mijn huis
I'm sorry= Het spijt me
Thank you= Dank je
Please= Alstublieft/ Alsjeblief
Get lost= Ik ben verloren gelopen
I like you= Ik mag je wel
I dont like you= Ik mag je niet
Merry Christmas!= Vrolijk kerstfeest!
Happy New Year= Gelukkig nieuwjaar
Happy Birthday= Gelukkige verjaardag

Ok that was it ;)

You still say "Gelukkig nieuwjaar"? That's cool! It got outdated here a couple of years ago, nobody uses it anymore.

"Ik zie je graag" is one of my favourites. It sounds so much better than "Ik hou van jou"

Of course we say Gelukkig Nieuwjaar ;) We've never said Vrolijk Nieuwjaar....it sounds a bit strange imo, and indeed ik zie je graag sounds veeeeeeeeeery good :D
