When I was shopping people kept saying things to me and I would just smile at them. It sounds like gobble-gook! Actually though, some words look very similar to ours but others are so foreign. I’ve only had two run-ins with people that don’t understand me.

The Dutch Language.
This language cracks me up. It sounds kind of like German and isn’t pretty at all! I just get such a kick out of it! From a young age everyone learns English in the Netherlands so there is hardly a language barrier which is handy. But whenever I interact with people, they first talk to me in this crazy tongue; I respond in English causing them to then answer back in English and more often than not they have absolutely no accent! So then I am left totally perplexed with the first outburst they presented you with.
