My main interest is angling,
I have a good friend in Holland (in Waalwijk) who I visit occasionally for fishing
trips, I also want to be able to read Dutch angling magazines and books. I've been
studying intermittently for a while, I've a reasonable grasp of grammar and manage
to read most stuff (with a dictionary close by), more complex things do lose me,
but I'n getting better at sorting it all out. I did try speaking a little Dutch on
my last trip (Feb '04) and found that they could usually understand me but I struggled
to hear clearly what was being said and realised that my vocabulary needed some work.
So I'm trying to listen to as much Dutch as I can to improve my skills. |
