RE: Enter the Worldbuilder - an introduction
Too bad, I just read my very first Afrikaans short story and LOVED it!!! :-) Hop into the Nederlands workshop on the writers' block from time to time. ;-) I speak dutch myself but Anike and I understand each other quite well.
This is going to sound like one of @Sigrfolkr 's drunken Viking stories but I met some Dutch guys one night in a pub. They spoke Dutch and I spoke Afrikaans and we understood each other the more we drank!
Basically the less you worry about the differences and the more you just talk the more info passes across. :D
I actually have Dutch on my list as a language to learn on Memrise (A language learning app, its very good) and my family has Dutch and German bloodlines. We own a 200+ year old Bijbel. :)
Dat is geweldig cool. Ik heb zelf Belgische en Duitse roots. ;-)
