Hi, I'm Gil-Galad from Germany, but actually I'm a girl... Sometimes my English sucks, because it's not my native language, but I hope it's understandable. I'm into LOTR for at least 3 years by now and I also enjoy HP, Buffy and so on. Ok, I guess that was all...

Hey! Welcome to Arwen-Undómiel, Gil-galad! I hope you will enjoy your stay here .
Someone near me! I'm not German, I'm Dutch. I know some German, though.

Where do you live in the Netherlands? Because I have to walk 700m and I am in the Netherlands... (I live in Aachen, or I think in Dutch it's Aaken...)

In Dutch "Aachen" is "Aken"
I live in Rotterdam, so that's not very close to where you live. But still, it's closer to France or America or something

My best friend is doing an Au Pair Year in Noordwijk at the moment... We will move together when she comes back and then she is gonna teach me Dutch! I personally think that Dutch sounds really weird... But it is easy to read for Germans.

Dutch sounding weird? I think the same of German . Well, you can talk German to me, I know some German. Most people say Dutch is a very hard language, it has more exceptions then rules.

Perhaps it is difficult to be really good in Dutch, but the understanding is not really difficult. But I can speak old German (Plattdeutsch) and thats really similar to Dutch concerning the pronounciation and the words.
I can imagine, that you think that Germans sounds weird. Dutch just sounds like a funny mixture of German and English.

I watched a German movie lately.. Periode 1 was the name, if I got it right. Or at least something containing that. Well, it was a weird Star Wars Parody. Do you know that movie?

Yeah, and I HATE it. It is all because of "Der Schuh des Manitu", that was a parody of Winnetou. Everyone was absolutely thrilled by this movie - I found it awful. And the some producers made "Periode 1" which shall be a parody of Star Trek and Star Wars. But I don't like these parodies. But perhaps I just like the originals too much...

I did not like "Periode 1" either. It is such a stupid movie. And, yes, I also watched "Der Schuh des Manitu", which was also awful. Well, it's nice to see someone from Germany agreeing with me

I had a hard time back then... When Schuh des Manitu was released. Thank God, Periode 1 wasn't that popular. But we had a real hype in Germany around these movies. Are there any Dutch movies? I think, I have never watched one...

Yes, there are also Dutch movies, but they are not well known, not even in the Netherlands themselves. I have never watched a Dutch movie either, as far as I can remember.

But that's kind of weird, isn't it? I mean, the Netherlands are small, but not that small. I have watched English, French, Spanish and German movies - I even have seen a Belgian one. But never a Dutch one. You have to do something about that!
