Hey Martin! Thanks for dropping me a line. Love traveling and am blessed with a great job that lets me do that. Travel mostly for work, but know how to tack a little fun onto the beginning or end of each trip.
How long have you been learning Dutch? How is it going? I started intensively the day I arrived (8 years ago) and made sure to get it done and dusted quickly.
Spanish because it was either Spanish or French in Jr. High and felt like Spanish was more practical (and I knew the French teacher personally - my godmother's sister) and didn't want her either playing favorites or dogging me extra hard because of it). Japanese because it was exotic and different and I was bored with Spanish after five years. German to learn about case structures to prepare to learn Basque, which is grammatically the most fascinating language on the planet (wanted to study someplace that was bilingual Spanish/???, and San Sebastian seemed a great place to do it). Dutch because I moved here on a consulting job, French because it was close to Spanish and not too hard, Persian because of a relationship, Chinese because of frequent travel to Beijing, etc. etc. etc. I just don't like to shy away from a linguistic challenge.
Greetings and thanks for dropping by. En nog veel succes toegewenst met je Nederlands!
Christo
