► Hi my name is Roger and live in The Netherlands. I love to learn about other cultures and languages and like to explore foreign countries. One of my bucket list items is to learn Spanish and to travel through several countries in South America once. So that's also the reason why I recently started to learn the beautiful Spanish language. Hallo mijn naam is Roger en ik woon in Nederland.

Eén van de dingen op mijn wensenlijstje is om Spaans te leren en om ooit te reizen door diverse Zuid-Amerikaanse landen.

    Both are correct. 'Portefeuille' is the French word but is also commonly used in The Netherlands. "Portemonnee" is sometimes also used as 'portemonnaie' or even as the Dutch word 'BEURS". 'Beurs' is more used in the southern part of The Netherlands. Please mind that 'beurs' is not that common and 'beurs' can also be used as 'scholarschip'. So I suggest using 'portemonnee'

    Hi! Gesprekken (with double k in the middle) means 'talks' or 'conversations'. Although both sentences are correct it is more common to use the second one. For example if you're a contractor and work though boss Mr. x you could say: "In gesprekken geef ik aan dat ik via Mr. X werk"... where 'via' here means 'for' instead of 'through''.

    You can use those two because the meaning is similar. Feel free to choose :-)

    Definitely Dutch. Dutch is the language spoken in The Netherlands, Belgium (besides French and Flemish), Suriname, Dutch West Indies, some parts of Africa and Indonesia.

    UITDRAAIEN can be used for a turning/revolving movement, so yes, turning off the gas is like 'het gas uitdraaien'. Correct. But 'UITDRAAIEN' can also be used as 'printing'... so : printing a page = een pagina uitdraaien. AFZETTEN can be used to explain TURNING OFF something. But can also be used as dropping a person somewhere... so: IK ZET EEN PERSOON AF BIJ HET STATION = I drop a person at the station... quite confusing but true. If you mean 'turning off the light and television' you cannot use 'AFSLUITEN', but : Turning off the television = de televisie UITZETTEN Turning out the light = het licht UIT DOEN

    Hi, gelesen = geleZen Een hond WERD slachtoffer --> a dog BECAME a victim ---> 'verleden tijd' so this happened in the PAST.. 'werd' in this context here means 'became' Eén persoon IS met de ambulance naar het ziekenhuis gebracht --> One person was brought to the hospital by ambulance. ====> This is what we Dutch call 'voltooid verleden tijd' You're partly correct that 'is' and another verb combined is often used, it is called "voltooid tegenwoordige/verleden tijd'

    "De pot staat op tafel" means that the jar is placed on the table, so a idle position. 'zit' means TO SIT, like in "de man zit op een stoel" means 'the man sits on a chair". 'is' is a verb used like in English 'is'. For example, "hij is hier" means "he is here"..... You could also say "de pot is op de tafel" ---> "the jar is on the table'

    American English ====

    Josh is afraid for all spiders.

    Josh: There's a spider in my bedroom, Shawn. Kill her!   Kill it is translated as "dood het" but in common Dutch it is translated as "Dood 'm" ... 'm is the same as him as spider is a male/'de' -word

    Shawn: Is the spider big, Josh?

    Josh: No, this spider isn't big. he is small, but I'm afraid of all spiders!
