I speak German and it helped immensely when learned Afrikaans, which is very similar to Dutch. So I'd say it will indeed be useful.

Merci beaucoup pour les explications!

"To make Kevin ill, after "if", use "would" and "will" 😀".

And were someone to give that answer, I would agree ;-). Correct, Maria!

I thought I might try and get a group of interested people together on here, so send me a message if you'd like to have a go. More power to your elbow with the languages you are learning.

Would you be interested in learning some dead languages? I've had a crack at Old English and Old Norse. If you speak Dutch and German, you'll be in pole position to learn those.

I do love Frankfurt!

"Enjoyed" is the wrong word to use of this novel as it's deeply disturbing and not for the faint-hearted. It is thought-provoking though. I was fascinated by the description of Earthseed spirituality, in which god is change and can be shaped. Merry was too 😊. #booksky #catsofbluesky #readersky 🪐📚💙

Exactly, Gala! "After if will and would are not good" 😊. So if it RAINS next weekend, what WILL you do?

When you book a tutor on italki, look at the "students to lessons taught" ratio rather than the comments or star ratings. I booked a tutor who had brilliant ratings and reviews but was a complete duffer. If students come back, that's an indicator that it's a good tutor.
