The languages or the people?

I can see a few small "particle" kind of words that seem similar, is the structure the same as well?

I'm going to learn German some time this year, my dad is German but I never bothered learning it.. he mostly speaks Platt Deutsch anyway.

I plan on doing a bit of working around the world in the next 2 years, probably starting with Germany or the German part of Switzerland (seeing as I can get a Euro passport because my dad is German).

The world becomes such an interesting place when you do a bit of travelling

Heh, I'd consider learning french too.. i think Paris is quite a cool (but expensive) city.

The Dutch and German languages look alike, the people hate each other (WW II !!!)

And Paris is a beatifull city with lots of museums, you must be very rich if you can travel to Europe !

It's not as expensive as the US.

I know that a trip from Brussels to down under is just about the most expensive journey
But i would really like to visit it some day

Learning many languages can be good for you later, the more you speak, the more chances you get on the job market !
