Please?
Can anyone properly translate "That's what she said" into Dutch? I don't fully trust the translation software. We haven't got time before the wedding to buy and learn Rosetta Stone and I'm very rusty to say the least in Dutch.
Also, is 'Spa" pronounced 'spa' or 'shpa', as it is in German?
Many thanks!

"That's what she said" literally > "Dat is wat zij zei". But is there any subtext?
Spa is pronounced in Dutch about the same as in English. Just be aware that it refers to a place in the Belgian province of Liège (with springs and "kuuroord", hence the English word "Spa") and a brand of springwater and sodas. In fact in Belgium Spa will never be used to refer to a Spa as it's meant in English (and I think the same goes for the Netherlands).

Why not use English with a Dutch accent?
