English My Way

Wanneer de wind begint te waaien

Wanneer de wind begint te waaien,
Let goed op dan zul je weten waarnaartoe het zal draaien.

Wanneer de wind begint te waaien,
Spreid je vleugels en laat je meevoeren 

Wanneer de wind begint te waaien,
Vertrouw erop dat het je zal dragen en het je zal brengen waar je moet zijn,
Daar waar je thuishoort.

When the wind starts to blow

When the wind starts to blow,
Pay attention and you’ll know
Where it wants to go.

When the wind starts to blow,
Spread your wings and follow its flow.

When the wind starts to blow,
Trust that it’ll take you there,
There where you belong,
There where you’re supposed to be.

Wanneer de wind begint te waaien

LUKE: Hello? Hi, Stephanie, how are things at the office?
STEPHANIE: Hi, Luke! How are you? Can you please stop and pick up 
extra paper for the computer printer?
LUKE: What did you say? Can you repeat that, please? Did you 
say to pick up ink for the printer? Sorry, the phone is 
cutting out.
STEPHANIE: Can you hear me now? No, I need more computer paper. 
Listen, I’ll text you exactly what I need. Thanks, Luke. 
Talk to you later.
LUKE: Thanks, Stephanie. Sorry, my phone has really bad
reception here.



LANGUAGE NOTES
• There are a few ways to express a lack of understanding and to request additional 
information. The most common ones are stated, but you can also say “Excuse me” or 
simply “I can’t hear you.” In a more formal situation, try saying “I’m sorry?” or “I beg 
your pardon?” (with a rising intonation).
• When asking someone to clarify information try saying Can you please repeat that? / 
Can you spell that for me? / Can you please write down the address for me?
• Cutting out describes a difficulty in understanding a caller due to poor cellphone 
reception. If you are having trouble understanding the caller, you can also say The 
line is breaking up / I am losing you. If the phone call is disconnected because of poor 
reception, you can say The call dropped.
• Talk to you later is the equivalent in a phone conversation of “See you later” in a 
regular, face-to-face conversation.
• Reception here means the availability of cellular service, the possibility to receive and 
give calls on a cellphone. Cellphone reception can be limited in remote areas, inside 
large buildings or underground (in the subway, for instance).
