Today we went to Bar Passion to play games together. We started off just talking to each other. After that we played the game called ‘labyrinth’. It is a bord game. On the game there were a lot of drawings on there (because in the game you have to find a way through the labyrinth by moving the pieces to come to the drawing you have to go to). So we had fun translating some drawings in German and Dutch. Here you will see an overview of the words we taught each other:
English German Dutch
Beetle Käfer Kever
Skull Totenkopf/Schädel Schedel
Ghost Geist Geest
Mouse Maus Muis
Spider Spinne Spin
Dragon Drache Draak
We did not know so many words were so similar in our languages, it was fun to see and to learn that!
After this game we talked about other words that were kind of similar and compered them to each other. It was very interesting. We also taught each other that there are different accents in a country. For example: in the south of The Netherlands, they have a different accent than in the middle of The Netherlands. It is the same in Germany. Apparently, Emma has a different accent than Anna, so they explained the difference a bit.
We also played the cardgame UNO. We discussed the rules in the beginning, because it’s a little bit different how we play it in The Netherlands and how they play it in Germany. In the end we figured it out and have a lot of fun.
The last difference I am going to mention is that the Germans said ‘’UNO UNO’’ if they were done and had no cards left. Us Dutch people never heard about this before. So that could be a cultural difference as well 🙂
