Ik speel best regelmatig met mensen uit andere landen, Duisters, Denen, van alles eigenlijk.
Door WoW ben ik wel beter geworden in het Engels. Haal betere cijfers in het vak Engels dan eerst. Ik speel nu op een Engelse Realm, waarin ik in een Nederlandse guild zit met meer dan 500 members. Spelen met andere spelers vind ik wel leuk, maar het maakt het wel anders. Je kan bijvoorbeeld geen dingen zeggen die je tegen iemand anders uit hetzelfde land kan zeggen.
Ben nu Duits, Frans en Engels aan het leren, en het gaat me best goed af.

Now Lesley, Guess what I just typed here and look if you understand it. It is actually Dutch, if you want to translate it.

Through WoW, I do better at English. Get better rates in the English first. I play now a British Realm, where I is a Dutch guild with more than 500 members. Playing with other players, I find it fun, but it does make it different. You might not say things you against someone else from the same country can say.
'm German, French and English learning, and it is pretty good to me."

Translation, complete :)

Not too suprisingly, most of those words are pretty easy to translate without any help, just by guessing. Of course, I'm a natural linguist, so I'm aware of the history of different languages and the similar roots they come from.

Then again, I'm an American, so we just steal the best words and features from other languages anyway.
