LOLOLOL I think that's the only phrase I speak fluently. :)
BUT LOOK AT THIS! I just looked it up and this is what I found...
Many of us are descended from these Germanic peoples, who settled here (Pennsylvania) in the late 1600s. "Dutch" is a misnomer, as the Anabaptist sects came primarily from Germany and the German-speaking areas of Switzerland. (The word may come form the word Deutsch, which is German for German!) The dialect spoken is a German dialect; many of the words and phrases would be recognizable to tourists from Germany.
So see? We practically speak the same language! :D
