Posts and pictures with country names or simple things translated word-for-word from other languages
Maybe when you read the title of this post you thought I was going to go on about how silly it is to learn a language that so few people speak and that is not so useful outside of the Low Countries.
This is not a serious translation by any means - I've translated the names in a pedantic, literal way, character-by-character, which wouldn't make sense to most Chinese people. I don't want to make fun of Chinese people or the Chinese language, it's just a funny way for me to remember the names of countries as I learn the language.
