European Day of Languages

26 September is proclaimed European Day of Languages. Europe will always be multilingual, although some languages are "stronger" and some in "minority" and Esperanto is still alive and kicking. With regards to this I would like to launch two initiatives.

Firstly I would like to invite you to let us know what are the specific characteristics for your language. For example Slovenian language has dual, 6 conjugations and no swear words, although some will object my last statement.
Esperanto is the easiest language to learn. It has 16 rules, no exceptions and one can learn it in 3 weeks, then one just needs to work on vocabulary.
What about your language(s)?

Secondly I would like to invite all Dutch speaking people to try and find a true Dutch word with two equal consonants. My Dutch teacher says it does not exist, but I am sure it does. As example I give the word "grammatica", but this one is not completely Dutch, so it is not accepted. It has to be a true and only Dutch word. Help me, I cannot sleep due to this problem.

Cheaper telephone calls

Don`t worry, I am not talking about the "famous" European Union regulation on roaming prices, but about JustVoip.com that I found a couple of days ago.

It is a sister programme of VoipStunt.com and offers you even more cheap telephone calls. Finally I can call home (to Slovenia) free of charge and to Croatia for 0,01 Euro per minute. Marvelous, I love this:)
