Kway ray. Fo lok mi in nof ol fi gwon, oba mi fayn olda nes de mi in yong no longga.
Quite trye. Luckily I'm not old enough to be limited, but I notice every day I'm no longer young.

My old flatmate wants to be old.

That might be true.

He told me that, when he was a little kid, he didn't speak for a long time.

Do, wi zi gya do, dei zi lu hyubwe lubwe mi dyazo u huzye zyii zyezo, gwei nge zyi nginge zyi u nunwa.
One day, he was in the back seat of the car with his dad driving in front and he said his first sentence.

"Papa, wir habеn vergеssen, einе Kistе Cola zu kaufеn."

"Hwehu, wanai nggwelo dyongge nggwindyo zwa kola."
"Dad, wе forgot to buy a carton/box/crate of cola."

His father nearly crashed the car.

Ndyogo zyii nye mbo nge u byoi dyina.
His family still talks about this.

That's a funny story.
I see that I don't have developed any lexicon in that area (fun, laughing, jokes...) yet... time to get working on that!

Mark Twain said life is too short to learn German.

You already speak Dutch, though, so learning it should be easier for you than it is for other people.

I didn't find it that difficult, but I was young back then.

Adjectives are much more difficult than they need to be.

EDIT: Fixed typo.

Dutch has emphatic and unstressed pronouns.

And German orthography is simpler than that of Dutch.

I can't deny this, but they are of little importance, especially compared to German adjectives or noun cases.

And German orthography is simpler than that of Dutch.

Fo sahtm no! Holandes raying mana u isi pas Jahman, sef dem batm twin-"n".
Definitely not! Dutch ortography is easier than German's, except for the dreaded between-"n".

Although it looks nice, to use "3" as a character, let alone whatever "°" is supposed to mean, is quite ugly.
