  I stumbled across your site when try to get a translation on a plate my 
mother brought back from Friesland many years ago.
       It reads, “Maorns let, dehiele dei let”, roughly translates to “late 
in the morning, late for the rest of the day” I think. Please correct me if 
I am wrong.
        I was born in Friesland but we migrated to Australia in 1952, my 
parents wanted to learn to speak English as quickly as possible so it was 
decided that we had to speak only English at home and so we lost our Frisian 
language.
       Your site, especially the narrated “It Winterkeninkje”, has sparked 
an interest in relearning it.
       It will be interesting to see if I can at this late stage.
       Anyway, keep up the good work,
