iTalki. We gebruiken het allebei. Maar het was wel grappig toen ik dat zei tijdens de
vragenronde, haha. Edited by tarvos on 14 August 2014 at 10:57pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Ah ja, dat klinkt logisch. Grappig hoor.

Barring a catastrophic calendar conflict, if it's in NYC I should be there. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Dutch
I had a long conversation in Dutch with my grandparents the other day. This was probably the first time I've actually spoken Dutch since the beginning of the summer, and, to my surprise, it went pretty well. I can still talk about pretty much whatever I want at an intermediate level. On the other hand, my understanding of Dutch was seriously affected by the bad phone connection. :-( The connection was shaky enough that it'd have been a problem even if we were speaking English, but it was still frustrating. I guess it's also a little funny now because my grandma doesn't speak really any English, while my grandpa speaks English fairly well. So if my grandma's on the line, it's essential that I speak Dutch and she absolutely loves it. But when I'm speaking with my grandpa, I get the sneaking suspicion that his English is at least as good as my Dutch and that he's just humoring me. Oh well, I guess he'd let me know if it were really a problem. Maar goed. Ik zat net te denken: het is toch te gek, wat het Nederlands voor mij gedaan heeft. Tijdens de lente had ik (bijvoorbeeld) de gelegenheid om iets meer te chillen met Arnon Grunberg - toen ik weg van HTLAL was. Het bleek een heel grappig verhaal te zijn en op een dag moet ik het hier opschrijven. Dat zou nooit hebben gebeurd als ik nooit met Nederlands begon had. Morgen ga ik naar Letland. De vlucht duurt 24 uur - ik vertrek maandagavond en ben dinsdagavond in Riga. Oh, I should also say that I've been writing a lot more in Dutch since I hopped back on HTLAL. That's nice. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Veel plezier in Letland! Het schijnt er ook supergoedkoop te zijn, dus bezat je niet aan
al dat goedkope bier dat je er kunt krijgen (naar westerse maatstaven dan, voor de Letten is het wel duur, zo is mij tenminste verteld door een Let toen ik in Göteborg was). 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Latvia? Sounds pretty random to me, but I'm sure there's more to it. Have fun!
