So, this is how the game goes. People copy a short piece of text in their own language (in latin alphabet) and others record themselves trying to read it. Extremely funny.

Here's how rick tries reading : "In de gotische kathedralen wordt gebruik gemaakt van kruisribgewelven om het dak te steunen. Ze leiden het gewicht af naar de steunberen en de pilaren aan de zijkanten van de middenbeuk." (some yada-yada about gothic cathedrals :D )

I'm not going to upload myself saying it yet, i want you guys to try first :D
oh yeah and Wiebren, you're out :D

Gib es mir irgendwann zurück!

A translation of the poem !!

Do you feel the pressure of trouble and worry.
Then I will lend you a smile and a laugh.
It will bring you happiness and luck.
Then someday it will return back to me !

Nice I like it reminds me of Rick and Kaz !!

I'll be the judge on the two trials I've heard:
1. Tom B: Your pronounciation of the words are much better dutch, but as a "Belg" you may have sneaked someway.... LOL
2. Flyingzombo: Your pronounciation is much more german, but it was a lot more fluently....

Flyingzombo, I've heard your german poem.

Do you follow german lessons or are you a native german? Your pronounciation is very good!
