<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Hi Almal,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"><span style=""> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Regarding
acceptance when speaking to people in their own language, I haven't had that
problem in Germany or Austria - but
that's because, apparently I have a "strange" accent.<span style=""> </span>I first learned German at school, but left it
behind, learning Afrikaans in South
Africa and dabbling with Scandinavian
languages.<span style=""> </span>I returned to serious German
study relatively recently. As a result, they know I'm a foreigner, but they can't
work out what kind, so everybody keeps on with German even when I struggle, as
they can't decide what to switch to!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"><span style=""> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">So my
advice is, if you can't speak like a native, talk funny!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"><span style=""> </span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="NL">Maar voeg er onderhand eens aan toe dat dit allemaal wel
geldt voor een bepaald soort cafe's en derg.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="NL">Vaste bezoekers van cafe's in de Amsterdamse binnenstad
hebben een grote ervaring met buitenlanders die zo trots zijn op hun nederlands
en die dat zo graag willen uitproberen, dat je constant geen cafebezoeker kunt
zijn, maar de rol van docent nederlands opgedrongen krijgt.</span></p>

overkomen.]</span></p>

in Amerika nederlands heeft geleerd graag over geldzaken praat en uitkraait: Ja,
zo gewonnen zo geronnen. [zondigen tegen register-gebruik.]</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="NL">En als de nederlandse intonatie wat anders klinkt, weet
de cafebezoeker al gauw dat het weer om een buitenlander gaat, voor men goed
heeft laten doordringen wat er aan de hand is.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="NL">Tja, een heropvoedingscursus zal wel niet helpen.</span></p>
