Right, here's my attempt at translating your reply:

>Ja, jeg kunne l�se dit hollanske. 

Yes, i can read this Dutch.

>De to sprog minder om hinanden. 

But to speak it is more difficult.

>Der er er flere ligheder .. ogs� med tysk.

Because .. .. ...... ........ .. also with ....

That's part of my fascination with language, you can often (not always) deduct
the meaning ar at least get the outline of what someone tries to say from a bit
of basic knowledge of other languages.

I wonder if there are Frysian people here that can give a demonstration of
Frysian (or Frysk as Frysians say), i wonder if that would be easier for you.

Ever heard of all those cows we have here in Holland? :-)

Dutch laws concerning drinking water are very strict, you can safely drink the
water from the tap here.
The water is even so good that the only things i regularly drink is coffee and
water.

Now you see me, now you don't.
