Ich kann also ein bisschen Deutch sprechen. (I'm not sure if that was a correct sentence or not...)

Sorry if that made no sense. I completely made that up, using my great Deutsch skills. By the way, I would understand if you couldn't get what I said, given that it was part in norsk.
That sentence was just perfect. Grand. Grand.

Almie, ich konnte deinen Satz verstehen. Es heißt aber im Deutschen nicht also in so einem Satz, sondern auch.

Ohoo! I'll have to start watching what I post in Dutch then because there is a little eavesdropper around.

I know, I have always been looking for an online Norwegian dictionary. The best one I have found is located here: http://www.tritrans.net/
It's an Anglo-Spanish-Norwegian dictionary, so you'll learn some Spanish too

Russian is a beutiful language! Actually, I've been to Russia once. I was singing with my choir in different orphanages, but I also saw the beautiful parts of Russia.

Jonathan, ska du börja dansa tryckare på Internet nu också? Vad kommer härnäst?
