I now work for IBuildings who are really a Dutch company, and as a result I'm starting to realise it would be useful if I could manage a handful of Dutch phrases. My colleagues and other IRC friends from The Netherlands have all been very helpful and have promised to teach me new phrases one at a time. So far the list goes like this:

(Dutch -> English)

• hallo -> hello

• hoi -> hi

• dank je -> thankyou

• hoe is het? (apparently pronounced as "who is hat") -> how are you?

• thee tijd -> tea time

• ik heb zin in taart -> I feel like having cake

I'm sure there are more phrases to come, I'll be keeping them here to help me keep track of what I have learned :)
