	Yes, I see it myself in Opera too. Weird. This will be fixed when I apply the completely different design in a month or two. Sorry for the inconvenience! At least it's just in that browser. 1 person has voted this message useful

	So, I continue to make good progress! When I can somehow convince a Dutch person to grace me with their presence (can you tell I dislike all this over-scheduling?) I can socialise in the language pretty well now :) The other person needs to repeat occasionally (but not slow down), and I find it too hard to follow two people talking at the moment. Almost finished my grammar book (didn't even start it until this weekend), and learning some vocab etc., but my main issue is just lack of actual practice. Not being able to make Dutch friends quickly, as I have in other countries, has been the biggest part of this challenge slowing me down. I have meetings a few times this week, so I will practice more now finally. Hopefully it will be consistent enough for me to get on target. I've asked them if I can record it for the Internet, to share my current speaking stage (another monologue wouldn't demonstrate much) but of course everybody is camera shy! Luckily I found someone I want to interview properly in Dutch at the end of the mission, and who has agreed, so you will at least see the end level I reach. 1 person has voted this message useful
