I'm speaking foreign (revisited)*

In the cd shop today, upon purchasing (among other things) the cd Canto Ostinato – over an hour of very repetitive contemporary classical music, which is very entrancing – I had the following conversation with the person behind the sales counter:

Him: Ja, die is net onlangs opnieuw uitgebracht.
Me: O, is-tie?
Another one for the collection of English things I say in Dutch.

* The original (draft) title for this post was tag questions, but I'm not sure this qualifies as one.
