Fijne Week van het Nederlands!

(scroll down for English)

Hiep hiep, het is de Week van het Nederlands!

Gisteren ging ik al meespelen met dicteespel De Schrijfwijzen en won ik met mijn derde plaats een mooie Poëtische Parkerpen, waar ik heel blij mee ben! Het was een gezellige avond.

Foto van de gewonnen pen

Aangezien de Nederlandstalige kant van mijn Paranatellonta-YouTubekanaal toch ook een beetje een terugkeer naar mijn moedertaal betekent, postte i

Quotes by Minerva Cerridwen (?)

“In the weeks that followed, the girl learned about the many forms love could take. The Match Sticks made it clear that true love would not be defined by traditions or rules. One time, a middle-aged woman’s match even split in two to lead her to both her loves. And only a few days later, a farmer was tricked into taking a Match Stick by his wife. When it pointed at his best friend, she exclaimed: "See? I told you so! Now go kiss him and bring him over for dinner!”
