I've found that if I read Dutch aloud and use my imagination it's similar enough to English to understand a lot. It's the spellings that look strange, but sounded out many of the words are understandable. un abrazo, juan "Leslie O." wrote on 08/25/2004, 07:10:24 PM: > > Gee, just when things were getting quiet around > here... ;-) > > ...we get another foreign language interview! > > http://tinyurl.com/create.php > > Anyone know Dutch out there? :-D > > --Leslie > Tired of spam?

However, whilst *cruising* through ebay noticed that the Ordinary day promo single has 2 different covers. One in Holland and a different one in Spain. Now when is the USA version coming out? Answer. About the same time as the next Basia solo album :) bfn Bob R ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 25 Aug 2004 20:22:01 -0500 From: "Amy T.

Soon I'll be like the rest of the grownups. I appreciate everyone's input, so of course, when I get it I'll know it's worth the time and expense ($25!) Should have it late this week or early next.
