How Did You Learn to Speak Dutch?
After 15 years of living in Brussels, I can manage my way with the words I have. But when I still go into a conversation in Dutch or meetings, I'm afraid to lose important things. So I really wanted to focus on my comprehension and this is what I did. Around the day 60, you are finding that your comprehension was improving a lot faster than your production. This happens with a lot of language learners where they end up understanding more than they're able to say. And anyway, here in Belgium, the people are used to non-native people. so even if I invent a word in Dutch from French, they are going to understand it.
