I like badges. We can 'catch 'em all'.

So that's one "like" and one cowboy. ;-)
Well, I'll see if I can't whip something up around the end of the month.

Make it two "likes", Hekje! I think it's a great idea and keeps us motivated to master all the challenges you have for us!
Dank je wel :-)

End of January Team Challenge
9 out of 16 members have completed the January team challenge! Good job guys!! It was great reading all of your
introductions. I would especially like to commend jeff_lindqvist for meeting the challenge even though he was
starting from scratch.
In keeping with our royal dispensation - because we are, after all, Team Oranje - those who have completed
the challenge will be decorated. ;-)

Ah, well, no badge for me! But I'm actually purposely avoiding the productive skills (speaking, writing), until I'm
more comfortable with the language, which might take awhile.
Although can't avoid speaking completely in daily life in The Hague, I can usually get by with "Spreekt u engels,
alstublijft?" Good and bad, I suppose, but I need a higher comfort level in the language than I currently have...
Will get there eventually; speaking and writing ARE part of the program, just not anytime soon.

Suzie - Of course. :-D
VivianJ5 - There's always next month! New month, new challenge. And it's still January 31 here, just saying... ;-)
I know how it is, though: you have do things when you're ready. In my opinion, any increased contact with Dutch
this year is a win and something to be proud of.
Edit: I posted my January summary in my log. :-)
