Can’t believe someone got upset that Caitlin and Katie were mentioned in a conversation about ACCENTS and how their potential future kid would have a wild one.
The thread started as an Ellie/Daan topic yes, but then morphed when someone commented about each Aussie player and their international wag in the context of accents and how they all pick up slight twangs based on their partner. Then it further morphed by someone saying it will be interesting when the “above couples” have kids and what their accents will be. The “above couples” mentioned were Kirsty/Macca, Kristie/Sam, Kat/EVE, Daan/Ellie, Katie/Caitlin.
So literally no issues in the flow of the convo.
I don’t have an issue with the convo flow and no one else should either. I do have an issue with the one comment trying to act like Ellie and Daan were “inserted into” into a conversation about Mini/Clara. That’s so laughably incorrect. The whole convo started because of Daan/Ellie.
On the topic of Ellie/Daan specifically in relation to language it’s wildly impressive how hard Ellie has worked to learn Dutch. In Danielle’s documentary from 2022 Ellie was learning and speaking Dutch even then. I’d imagine she has improved significantly since. She moved to France and became fluent in French really fast. It wouldn’t surprise me if she can hold her own through a conversation in Dutch by now too
Is it wildy impressive tho? Her (now) fiancé is Dutch. Pretty normal to learn the language your partner speaks. My girlfriend is German and I learnt German to be able to convanerse with her family when I visited. And tbh most Europeans speak more than 2 languages. I agree it’s impressive Ellie has learnt both French and Dutch simultaneously tho! Just think it’s more normal than we, as Australians, think.
Yes it is wildly impressive. She’s living in France. Therefore she’s immersed in that language and it’s easier to learn. She’s learning Dutch essentially from one person. I assume she probably takes online lessons now too but she lives with one person who probably speaks Dutch regularly at home. She is not immersed in the Dutch language the same way she is just existing anywhere in France
However, she seems to be immersed with someone that has great meaning to her and since meaningful, comprehensible input is a criterion for language learning, she would pick it up super fast. Especially with Denialle's 1:1 tutoring...in all kinds of areas of life...
But apart from that. How long would all this be lasting. There are so many relationships in the female soccer world that didn't last for various reasons. Distancewise this would only work as long as they are both either at the same club or playing at a European club.
