Polyphonic Twilight ~[girlygirl]~ Polyphonic Twilight Brookie and Dookie aren't words xp "Broek" and "doek" are, pronounced almost like "brook" and "dook", but with more of an "oo" sound than "brook". Like a combination between the "oo" from "brook" and the "oo" from "boo!"
And "broek" means "pants" and "doek" means "towel"
I hate German! It's one of my least favorite subjects in school... Can't you take a different language? D: German is required. So are English, French and Dutch. Spanish is optional, and limited to certain students. Yesterday I found out that I was accepted! Yay! heart That's good!
In my school, you can take French, Spanish, or German. You need at least two years to get to college. >.>

Polyphonic Twilight Yeah I live in Belgium 3nodding "ich" is pronounced more like "ikh" than like "ish" but it's not just a "k" it's a "ch". Like the way Hanukkah is supposed to be pronounced. You have to use your throat xp It's hard to explain. And the "i" is almost pronounced like "ee" but a little shorter.
"Underwear" is "ondergoed", "underpants" is "onderbroek". And "handkerchief" is "zakdoek". (It literally means "pocket towel" xp )
German is a lot like Dutch. The hardest thing about German though is that you have to conjugate words in cases... but I'm in 5th year of Latin so that's pretty normal to me.
If I had to pick between French, Spanish and German I'd pick Spanish. It's sexy surprised wink heart Which is why I'm so happy I can take it 3nodding
It's weird that a school would make you wait with taking a language. Because the younger you are, the easier it is to learn new languages.. Ouhh, hehe, thanks! Poly, you're smart. gonk And do you mean that in German you conjugate verbs by changing the ending of the word? >.< like... in French, conjugating the verb "Faire" would be: Je fais Tu fais, Il fait Nous faisons Vous faites, etc. and in english it would be: I am doing You are doing He is doing, etc. ?

No, you conjugate verbs like that in pretty much every language. Even in English, you say "I am", "you are" and "he is". But "to be" is an irregular verb. A regular verb is "to play", but you still have to conjugate it "I play", "he plays"
In German you have to change nouns also, depending on their function in the sentence (i.e. subject, direct object, indirect object...)
For example: I have a dog. "I" is the subject of the sentence and "dog" is the direct object. In German it would be "Ich habe einen Hund."
But if you were to say "A dog bites a man." then "dog" would become subject. And you'd have to say "Ein Hund beiĀ§t einen Mann."
So the word is also conjugated. Well actually, the word's article is conjugated. (An article is what comes before a noun, in English it's always "the", in French it's "le" or "la")
...get what I mean? It's probably complicated and I don't really know how to explain it xp I'm no teacher domokun

Polyphonic Twilight Bilvy Okay, yeah, well I understood the first two lines really well, but everything after that just drifted off of my galaxy of comprehension. xp But what I can say is that... you sound freakin' smart, dude. I suck at foreign languages, which shows a lot from me thinking that 'to be' wasn't an irregular verb. Argh, I should know better... And German sounds really complicated... Hm, anway, today my art teacher said that underwear or something was 'broekje'? confused xd Languages are just my thing, I guess. I'm good at them xp
I guess some people might say "broekje" for underwear... But everyone I know would say it for short-shorts or like sport shorts.. Ohh I see, and yeah, I can definitely tell that you are good at languages. pirate
