Some of my favorite people are from the Nederland. What is really interesting about Dutch is that it is much more like English than people realize. With German, it “looks” a little like English, but it is very much different. But Dutch does not look like English, but in fact if you try to sound it out, it is very close.

Actually German and Dutch sound very much alike. A german can pretty easily understand written dutch (with a little creativity) and vice versa... Had the pleasure of being in Australia/New Zealand for a few weeks earlier this year and met great people from all over the word. Quite multi-cultural, picked up a number of foreign language phrases...

Clear it a little "flatter" and you have the "Sk" in Skepplanda – Hm, Gepplanda

Lol, Being a town would make "Skepplanda" a sofa (they all are) but there's actually no such model (yet). Also IKEA is beginning to run short on Swedish words

I won't even go into my travels there. I was looking for a train headed to Göteburg, which to me looks like Goatburg, not Yettaborry which is the way it should be pronounced.

Hehe, Nice phonetics there, Michael. Göteborg is an IKEA sofa though
