I wanted to learn because my husband is Dutch. Now we are getting divorced, so the motivation is dwindling.

How to learn Dutch
It made me
Satisfied
 "Hard work requiring loads of cutzpah and a real desire."
How I did it: Now I have to admit that I have a headstart. I speak German and Afrikaans close cousins of Dutch.
Lessons & tips: Practice, practice, practice. Read, watch Dutch TV, films, speak, listen really hard and keep trying. Sign up for a course- however long you can afford, And do your very best. Resources: Books, tv, a short course I followed with the ROC and really just listening hard and speaking, |

I’ve got some books and have been going to lessons… I’m surprised at how much I know already! I know some people who can speak Africaans, but I don’t know it. Well, wish me luck!

i taught myself for a year and enrolled in VSL. it’s fun but i’m not fluent. i need to be better at listening comprehension. i dont think i’ll ever call myself fluent. but right now i’m still in the “need help” phase. lol.

I’m living in the netherlands now which is a good reason to learn the language. I started a dutch course 2 days ago. It’s awesome, I dig the people.
