[angelwings13]

Thank you, Kimky and Peety for the new words.
Howdy Peety had a good laugh with some of yours. Where do you find so many words?
Maybe now we can start use some when we are posting, especially if they are from some of these places. It would be fun.
Peety and Kimky karma to both. Angel

Here is mine: My sister-in-law came here from Scotland. She lived with us. She asked my mother where she could hang her clothes. Oh course said in the closet, well the next thing we find all her clothes in the bathroom hanging of the shower rod. A closet in Scotland is the bathroom. We all had a great laugh.

Everyone enjoy your weekend, Angel

At this site you can learn how to say several words and phrases in hundreds of different languages.
My goal (Jennifer) is to include every language, so that people will be able to say at least a few words to anyone they meet, anywhere in the world.

This is the link to Jennifer's site:

I'm looking forward to read more Dutch around here. Have fun exploring this site.
