The Art of Learning Dutch

Dutch dirty language

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~

Red head festival

Every year in this unknown, but cosy student city Almere, there is a huge redhead-festival :D Clueless? As the name explains, it's a weekend which is filled with a program and discounts only for red-heads. Where ever you look, you'll see people with -natural- red hair, an experience which I think, you don't want to miss.



Red head is not in my genes, and not in my people's genes either. So, tadah~
