Why are we speaking German?

P.S. Is that the side of a box of matches?

No it simply means match box, you could also call it a "Streichholzschachtel". Equally difficult to pronounce for a native English speaker. Although the Irish shouldn't have much of a problem as the Gaelic language contains guttural speech sound.

I'm not Dutch but have studied the language a bit. However, tongue-twisters duch as "de postkoetsier poetst de postkoets met postkoetspoets op een postkoetspoetsdoek" are a bit beyond me at this stage ... :eek:

I know a Belgian which is technically Dutch, isn't it? He speaks Dutch. Very, very tall man. That's about it.

He'd want to hope that the dyke doesn't press charges.

It's kind of funny because they're so short of physical space in their houses, from what I was told.

Am sure the Dutch can't manage that either.

My favourite German tongue twister is:

Fischers Fritz fischt frische Fische, frische Fische fischt Fischers Fritz

Lots of spitting involved trying that one

The people in the Dinaric Alps (Croatia/Serbia/Montenegro) are supposed to be taller, but maybe the average in those countries is a bit lower.

They speak Vlaams or Flemish. Which is kind of Dutch in a way. The Walloons speak French. Can't stand each other I believe.

I'm a big fan of Steve McClaren affecting a dutch accent for only
the reason that he is speaking to a Dutch reporter. Also the little gestures and body language.

They love saying "if it ain't Dutch, it ain't much".

If you say "Space Ghetto" in an American accent, it sounds exactly like a Scottish person saying "Spice Girl"

But we do give them a few schillings every year in U2 taxes to keep them going.

Lanky Dutch person slick back blonde hair, with a taste for weed while also being fairly conservative, seeks good Gouda in Gouda all washed down with Jenever.

P.s. Don't forget the webbed feet

I wish I knew a dutch person, I could then ask them if all their ovens smell like that.

Yes. Dutch is basically German-while-high, and it is pretty funny.

I never said they were a bit cocky.
I said the ones I met were obnoxious.

Their views on race, nationalities, poor people etc.

Keep in mind this was different people over a long period.

Hopefully an unfortunate coincidence.

Not really a tongue twister, just a theoretical word to illustrate consonant repetition.
