Dutch | English | Problem |
---|---|---|
ik zou graag | I would like | Got ik zou but forgot graag. |
iemand afsnauwen | to bite someone's head off | I was ok on 'iemand afs.auwen' but I forgot it was an n there and not sch |
voelen | to think | I can't remember what this means, nor the word itself at all. |
wetenswaardig | interesting | I know this is knowledge-worthy but I keep messing up the waardig part and missing the s in the middle. |
de ingewikkeldheid | the difficulty, complexity, task | I have 'ingewikk...' but not getting the rest. I'm also muddling it up with de moeilijkheid, which also means difficulty. |
aanvangen | to begin | I get the 'aan' but no further. |
gemakkelijk | easy, effortless | No idea what the word was at all. |
regelen | to finish (really means take control) | I don't remember this word at all. |
tof | great | Completely forgot the word. Could only think of groot = big. Tof means great in the sense of 'wow, that's great'. |
verkeerd | wrong | Again, no connection to this word at all. |
herhaal dat nog eens | repeat that again | I forgot herhaal. |
gewelddadig | violent | I remembered the 'weldd' but not the rest |
My attempts to learn Dutch and the bits and pieces about words and grammar I discover on the way.

19th October 2011 Forgetting Words
I'm up to just over 850 words now but it's gone a bit wrong recently. I've hit a group of words that I'm having a lot of trouble remembering. I'm not going to continue until I've got these sorted somewhat better.
