Ask questions or just talk about different languages. Since BrainKing is an international game site supporting many languages, this board can be kind of useful.

Since we will be dealing with pronunciation of words rather than their spelling, I think it's useful to have a link to The sounds of English and the International Phonetic Alphabet.

Can anyone tell me how to write this in Dutch:

"I only speak English"

I've joined a place which is mainly dutch, and I don't want people to think I'm rude for not answering them when they talk to me.

NOTE: This is what an on-line translater gave me: "Ik spreek slechts het Engels"

Does that make sense... I know not to always trust the on-line translators, but I would not think they would mess something up so simple.

BIG BAD WOLF: I think that would be "Ik spreek alleen Engels".

Pedro Martínez: Thanks.

Putting both "Ik spreek alleen Engels" and "Ik spreek slechts het Engels" in the on-line translater brings up "I only speak English", but I'll go with yours since I trust a human more then the translater. :-)

BBW & Pedro: *nod* 'ik spreek alleen engels' is the correct translation

'ik spreek slechts het engels' would translate back into english as 'i only speak the dutch'
(you could say 'ik spreek alleen de engelse taal' which would translate to 'i only speak the dutch language' .. but thats worded too officially)
