Learning Nederlands (Dutch) is happening all around us, everyday. On the trams, in the shops, with new friends, on the phone, on egroups, everywhere! We have also been going through the Rosetta Stone program (CD) to help us along this path into a new language. Marcel has been in the thick of it at work and reaping the benefits of learning from native speakers. I have finally ventured onto some dutch egroups but figure I need to start somewhere and that this is a great place to start learning from native writers too. Knowing a few words is good and I look forward to the time where I can understand the sentence structures and some of the rest. Marcel is right when he says we just need to stop thinking in english and think the Dutch way. What's that old saying "Patience is a virtue"
