After zero attempt of learning Dutch, my conclusion is that one can speak decent Dutch if good effort is made to pronounce the "r" "g" "sch" like a native speaker. Other than learning the vocabulary of course, I think that is the key to achieve breakthrough. Grammar wise - we all forgive and forget mistakes so that the learners will get there. Come on, be forgiving to non-natives! =)
Anyway, another key to master the language is also to be adventurous to explore new ways of expressing my thoughts in Dutch. I sound like a pro, huh? Not really, I'm the one that thought "floobedekking" is a curse word, while it actually means "floor cover" or "carpet". Martijn, I'll remember this word forever, thanks to you!
So, long way to go for me, once I ever register myself for Dutch language course. This is because learning Dutch is more of a winter activity for me when there is nothing more fun to do =) Until Winter, ciao~
