Well, I actually had only one month of Dutch classes, and I can already find my
way, follow conversations and even participate when I'm asked to :)) . But
there are still things that are beyond me (like litterature). I just still lack
vocabulary. After all, it's not after 9 months that you become a native
speaker ;))) . But I've already had discussions about the political situation
in Holland without much problems :))) .

Give me some time and I'll show that I'm worthy of this I-can-go-anywhere-do-
anything fame ;))) (I didn't know I gave that impression. I wonder where it
comes from).

 But I know only one of those, and

I like when people refer to me using capitals ;))))) (note the emoticon, it was
a JOKE! Although if people want to begin a cult and pray to me like a god, I
won't prevent them :)) . Just don't expect too many miracles at the same
time :))) ).

Too bad, it was perfect French :)) .
