I see you are making serious progress...

You are truly a master in making compromises.

That's a lot of info in one sentence. Well, I don't know Icelandic, and I have
never heard of Icelanders on the list (although there are some people who can
speak it).
Where do I start? Depends on the kind of course you want to follow. My
favourite traject is a Teach Yourself book or something similar. Perhaps a
course?
Anyway, if you have any questions about Dutch, you know where to find me...

Hey, as a two-quarters Dutch person, you are always welcome to join us!
And don't forget Irina, Rob, Vaksje, Maarten...
