At first glance, your site looks great, but I will have to spend more time on it. I love Dutch, but will admit that my skills have atrophied a little bit since my last trip. I'd love to talk about a guest post--you can drop me a line at newelty [at] gmail dot com if you like. Thanks for visiting! How cool, Joy!

It reminds me of the beauties of Dutch. How is your Dutch right now? I love languages as well (and I'm currently learning Spanish) and I also have a blog about learning Dutch, so if you're interested, have a look! Maybe it will help you with learning Dutch (although the blog is really for beginners now) or maybe you're even interested in writing a guest post on my blog? Looking forward to you reply, Joy ter Welle This is a great post! It reminds me of the beauties of Dutch. How is your Dutch right now?

There's definitely some overlap between those three languages, but I'd probably go crazy (gek) trying to do them all at once. Fingers crossed for you, though! Best to you, too, Gledwood.

It's 6am and I haven't slept... yeah I got the predictable response, but anyway I've found a uni course where I could do German, French and Dutch all together. People think I'm crazy for wanting to speak fluent Dutch as "they all speak English" ~ they're forgetting that newspapers, tv and radio won't translate themselves and that the Dutch only speak this amazing English when talking to YOU. So most of the time you're going to get left out... Well, whatever, I've given up explaining. Anyway all the best with it ;->... sorry that was half a comment there. It’s 6am and I haven’t slept…

I've got a thing about the Netherlands too and I want to go live there one day. I did German A level so Dutch comes pretty easy. Foolishly I went and posted on my blog my feelings about the Dutch language and got the predictable response.... All the best... tot later ;->... Wow, a kindred soul at last!
