Learning English

The boys speak English quite well. Pete is already using sarcasm.

Of course, there are a few things that aren't quite right. I often hear, "That is me pen" (or me shirt or me toy or me whatever). They usually say of instead of or (of is Dutch for or as in "melk of sap?"). The one I never correct is land, which is Dutch for country -- "Your land won the game!" "How long are you staying in this land?" It's just too cute.

However, my favorite one of all is Pete's neverbody. You know. The opposite of everybody: neverbody.

It does sound cute! But it makes me wonder... would neverland confuse them much?

Try it, let me know!
