What’s been happening while I was at work?

I ask because Google.co.uk is showing,

‘Google offered in: Nederlands’

So I can have Google.co.uk IN DUTCH???

So is this a thing that because almost 99% of Dutch speak English, Google wants us to learn Dutch?

Yours is google.com.au. What do you get when you go to google.co.uk?

Hmmm. Strange.

I don’t mind learning more Dutch.

Nobody I work with (or otherwise) knows Dutch so I can swear and chunter to myself about them without knowing I’m calling them lazy, an imbecile or an arsehole.

Been learning some Zulu from a South African colleague (apparently black South Africans don’t like being talked to in South Afrikaans and prefer English or Zulu).  So me and Faith (her English name) have a banter that nobody can understand.

Can you do the Zulu clicks?

There’s the click and another sound. I can do if I concentrate (I mean really concentrate) , but if I try and use it in a conversation, it comes out a mess and makes her laugh.

It’s all a mess really. I can do Dutch ‘G’s, Welsh ‘LL’s and many Welsh words but give me an Irish persons names, and I have no idea. I know how to pron ounce Siobhan, Niamh, Aoife, Cian, Ciara, etc... but there are others I couldn’t even thing to pron ounce.
