No, it’s not the easiest language.
And perhaps not the prettiest either (taste is subjective)
But let’s be honest… Let me dive straight in with some good old Dutch directness… 😉
Here are the excuses I often hear:
- Why bother? Let me stay in my English-speaking bubble
- I’m too busy, with work, family, Netflix… to improve my speaking skills
- I sound awful. Those sounds—g, r, eu—make me sound like a growling dog
- I’m so embarrassed! My word order is a mess, and I forget half my vocabulary
In the back of your mind, though, that little voice keeps speaking:
I should….
- Finally have a chance at that dream job that requires me to speak Dutch
- Improve my Dutch so I can truly connect with my colleagues and neighbors
- Be able to hold a simple conversation in Dutch. I’ve been here 5 years, after all. Shame on me
- Build and expand my social and professional network in the Netherlands, and being able to speak Dutch will make that so much easier
