Learning Dutch
Since I got the news that I was accepted to be part of this project here in the Netherlands, one of the first things that came into my mind was "I’d love to learn dutch”. I knew it wouldn’t be easy, but I thought it would be an amazing experience learning a new langague, specially when you’re sorrounded by hundreds of people speaking that language you’ve started to learn. Therefore, now I am part of this Dutch class for beginners and it’s been a month and a half since I started. YES, DUTCH IS HARD TO LEARN. However, there’s a lot of words which are similar to English, specially the pronounciation. I’ve already learned a couple of things, but I know that I still need to practice A LOT. What I suggest to anyone who wants to start learning a new language is looking for song and movies in that language you want to learn. That’s what I did, and especially the songs, they help a lot. I still have to watch the Dutch movies that a Dutch friend recommend me, but I am pretty sure they will also help me to get used to some words in dutch. I can’t wait to be able to speak at least the necessary to have a simple conversation with someone at a store, market or even the waitress at a bar. Until there I am just keep studying and trying to know more about the Dutch life
