Hihihi, my Utrecht friends tell me the same thing! They also giggle incessantly when I say "druilerig" in my heavy American accent.
Ik hoop dat je een fijne dag hebt in West-Friesland.

I am American. I've lived here for 25 years, though. I've been told everything from 'you never lost your accent' to 'you have a weird combination accent'. One thing for sure, no one ever forgets me on the phone.
I have a work colleague who is originally from Congo and therefore grew up speaking French. She speaks Dutch with a strong accent, which she will never lose, but there are also traces of a West-Frisian accent.
I have an idea how that will sound. I often watch a game show on the BBC, called Pointless, in which a question was asked once about foreign movie titles that the contestants had to translate back to English. The game show host always reads out the entire question and was therefore forced to say 'negenendertig', when he reached the movie title 'Het complot van 39 stappen'. Hilarious!
Dank je wel! Insgelijks en groetjes terug. Voor iemand die geen Nederlands spreekt schrijf je het erg goed
It's ok, n_n. Not all in the world are limited to speaking only English.So very confused.

Did I mention you rock today DJ? No? Well you do. Thank you ma'am.fixed.

We have the midwest accent, which I guess means none.
My husband's best friend is from North Dakota, and when they first started hanging out, I would laugh when Scott came home, because he would pick up the ND accent. I have noticed myself doing it too, though, after we are all together.
Always makes me think I know what morgan sounds like!
Ah, yes. The universal language. My dad, who only speaks english, shared a nice afternoon and a few beers with a nun, who didn't speak english, while he and my mom were on a trip to Italy. Mom was shopping so dad hung out at at cafe and the nun joined him.I lived for awhile in the same place as two dutch girls when i was in germany. We could not understand eachother but had a good time anyway. Turned out we all liked beer. After that it was no problem. Talking is overrated.
haha, I just tried to say aloud "negenendertig" and made myself laugh. I have such a difficult time to make my mouth and tongue do what they have to do to speak Dutch.
language is interesting!
jep, and I have trouble with stressing the correct syllable while I'm trying to remember how to make Dutch vowel sounds.Especially the 'g', presumably? And from your example 'druilerig' also the 'ui'-sound?
It is! Sadly I'm not very good at it
