The Dutch ( /Europeans) and English
The Dutch are just too good at English in my opinion! Its Crazy! I honestly believe if there was an equal opposite in terms of conquering the English Language to Japan, it would be The Netherlands. Its quite the change of scene! If people speak dutch to me (because they think im dutch) i simply tell them
“Eh i cant speak dutch”. They`re response is 98% of the time, a perfect fluent english complex conversation . This is just weird for me. In Japan, English is far from the dutch fluency.
However the Japanese and the Dutch are – understandably – very different.
Thats not to say speaking English here is perfect, its not. Its just different. In Japan – i had the Japan Book of Anonymous Quotes. A collection of quotes from people i have meet when i was in the land of the rising sun.
I have started the Dutch Book of Anonymous Quotes. Every line has a story behind it. The only problem i seem to be having, is that i have no easy way of memo-ing myself like in Japan.
