Hallo!
I was in Germany in 1979 as a student wishing to learn more about Germany and enjoying the extremely kind company of the people I met and stayed with.
I was outside with the father of the family I was staying with. They were both going on and on in Platt and while I spoke a good bit of Hoch Deutsch and some Dutch (Nederlands), I could only understand about 20% of what they were saying. I was kind and nodded and smiled alot. They probably thought I was an idiot. : )
When we came inside, I asked the father about their conversation and he laughed a lot! After that, he taught me this:
"Ik kann kaynn Platt" (" I can't speak PlattDeutsch")
THAT, is the complete extent of my Platt. : )
