You need to be very careful about doing Dutch as one of your four AS Levels or one of your three A2s. Since you're a native speaker, some universities will not accept it, which will leave you with less than the normal amount of qualifications.

Edit: Though Anthropology sounds fascinating. :biggrin:


:wink: For all intents and purposes, I shall consider myself a non-native Dutch speaker. :wink:
Tbh, I'm probably going to apply to universities who lean more towards the UCAS point system...as I'm not going to get AAABB :L

The course seems pretty cool as well, though I'll probably drop it after AS:tongue:

Ce n'est pas vrai.

Je n'ai pas essayé de apprendre1 le français à lui. Ich habe auch ihm wenig2 Deutsch gelehrt. I just sat next to him and made him do German exercises on Kerboodle.

1Should this be enseigner?

2This feels wrong.

Now this is the confusing thing.

Do you see why I put apprendre? Can I use enseigner, given I'm not talking about the qualified teacher kind of teaching?

Touché, I would agree with you. :tongue:

I don't feel confident about either of them!

Even if the dictionary says apprendre, the idea of a word meaning both to teach to someone and to learn hurts my poor English mind!

And to think I was pointing out to poor Thatitootoo earlier this afternoon, that he couldn't use lernen to mean teach, for that very reason. I was really patronising about it, as well.

Loooolololol I was surprised you can't say "... zu lernen"
To teach / to learn is the same "leren" verb in Dutch! :O


What about this oui being pronounced as "way" instead of "wee" business, Lady? :wink:

Ich kann mich nicht mehr sehr gut erinnern, wie du das Wort gestern ausgesprochen hast! Aber es hörte mir nur anders an, dann das "wee" woran ich gewöhnt bin :tongue:

You hit me too much...wollen Sie das ich ein Konkussion bekommen soll? :redface:

Damn I knew that :facepalm:
Eigentlich wollte ich dich fragen...
Ob du gewollen hast würden (if you would have wanted?), dass ich an eine sehr schwere Kopfschmerzen leiden sollte? ^^

google translate says "gewollt hätte" :tongue:
