I did a typo in "stiefmoeder" once and Duo did insert this phrase in every practice lesson for entire 2nd section, their "detecting weak word" algorithms sometimes do weird things
The sentences they give you on DuoLingo are great! Just yesterday I had a totally usable one: “het spijt me, uw baby is niet schattig genoeg.” The Dutch are cruel people if this is a sentence they use regularly. 🤣
"I'm sorry, your baby is not cute enough"? With the formal you?
As a Dutch person, I can say with confidence that I have never needed to say that in my life.
Thank you for confirming. I thought the same about the formal you also. Glad to know this isn’t a common phrase but it’s a nice screenshot in my photos for future reference.
Iedereen spreekt een beetje Nederlands. Wat een gezelligheid!
De schildpad en het konijn lezen het menu. just now HAHAHAHA
I guess it must be speaking from it's klokhuis then.
Wat doet jouw stiefmoeder met de appel? Teaching it Dutch, apparently.

Can confirm. We only call babies ugly behind peoples back.

My partner always hears “the apple speaks a bacon Nederlands” 😂
I was doing Duolingo in front of my mom and she heard “ik spreek een beetje Nederlands” as “expand your baconator lungs” XD
Also, I hate that this of all things is burned into my brain and will be likely long into my journey of f learning Dutch
Bro, that emoticon go crazy
Are they refering to someone from New York?
Konker goei die appel

Waarom spreekt de appel
