Dear Dutch community,
In honour of the European Day of Languages, falling on September 26, why not share our language-learning experiences and stories?
Indeed, language learning can be full of surprises and quirky moments! From funny false friends to hilarious translation mistakes, every single one of us has found an unusual word or an idiom that has amazed us. Language learning gives us a lot of exciting stories to share with other learners. It could be about the language, a funny encounter, or something unexpected during your learning process.
Have you ever made a translation error that turned into a funny story? What’s the strangest or funniest word you’ve encountered in the language you are learning? Feel free to share your experience, and let’s discuss the unexpected joys and challenges of language learning!
In the following two blogs on you will read about some of tricky Dutch words could easily be mistakenly interchanged:

Looking forward to reading your stories!
Warmly,
Marieke, OLS Community manager - Dutch
