I don't know, seems like a very weird application. I certainly don't know ANY dutch, which doesn't help. Is it just a "rhythm" mapping exercise based on the syllables? I probably read the first post a little bit to literally.

Yeah that 'asking' sounded wrong. Sorry. Read it as 'dont quote me on this, long time ago, memory untrustworthy'.

As an adult, I can say today: It is indeed a rhythm exercise, with some syllables being longer than others. I just wish someone had told me this at the time.
