Fail Fast and Fail Often
I failed to learn Dutch (Nederlands) before my trip to the Netherlands in the Spring of 2016. How so? The Dutch wanted to speak English with me! I'm learning it gradually, as it shares some similarities with German. In Belgium, I didn't use it as much, either. Then, I completed an introductory course on FutureLearn and did better, but it's still Dutch, you know? I'm still going at it. Tot ziens!
