Hallo all' Lowlanners,<br>
<br>
ick heff mi ok 'n Kopp makt oewer all' de Gedanken von uns'
Mitmakers.<br>
<br>
Mike Wintzer schreew/wrote:<br>
Risking the wrath of many of you, I would advocate ONE
language as the lingua <br>
franca for the EU, for expediency I would choose Basic
English.<br>
<br>
Tauierst dacht' ick an "Romanische Weltspraken", hm, wüßt' ok nich
so recht.<br>
Ick kundschafte mi ut, woväl Wüür <b>Basic English </b>hett. So
künn ick läsen: [auf 850 Wörter begrenzter englischer Wortschatz
für die internationale Kommunikation].<br>
Ick wullt nich glöwen. Ick telefonierte (hüt) an bi Expertin
(Freundin) Liselotte J., Bispingen. Sei hett ehr Bäuker ok in de
Ingelsch Spraak oewerdragen.<br>
Up mien Fraag, ob Basic English för ein Verstahn langt, lachte sei
un säd, " ... Konrad Adenauer is mit Basic English bestens
utkamen, dat langt all för ein gaud Verstahn.<br>
K. Adenauer künn sick ümmer klor utdrücken un ok so schriewen. Fru
L.J. künn sick noch gaud up dat Ingelsch von Bundeskanzler Konrad
Adenauer besinn'n.<br>
Ick kann woll nich oewer de noedig Spraak befinn'n, oewer wenn dat
so is, bün ick ok för Basic English. Ein anner Spraak müßt'
womoeglich ierst lihrt warden, man, dat kost wedder 'n Hümpel Geld
(€) un Tied ok noch.<br>
<br>
Dit wier nu mien Bidrag ... <br>
<br>
