I think "relaunch" is too big a word for this post, but nonetheless, that's what it is really! So here are some spectacular fireworks to celebrate the second greatest comeback after Lazarus:
A lot has happened since my last post. I've recent secured a new job (which is almost double the pay I get now). I spent a lot of time and effort applying and preparing for interviews, assessments, so I'm absolutely thrilled, as is my bank account.
One of the perks of having more money is that I can invest in my hobbies more. This means - amongst oter things - learning Dutch!
I'm still working my way through levels two and three of the Rosetta Stone software and now have quite an array of books to help me. However, I figure that if I'm going to become fluent rather than just conversational then I'm going to need some personal tuition.
Thankfully, whilst idly searching the oceans of Google's knowledge, I stumbled upon this. This is a place in Oxford that offers courses in Dutch as a foreign language. Not only that, but they offer the chance to take professional qualifications, which for me means GCSE and A Level. To supplement this, they also offer personalised tuition. Perfect for me.
This isn't cheap by any means, but I'm serious about this and if I'm going to do it, I might as well do it properly! It might even open some doors to meeting likeminded people to me.
As well as this, I have plans for the blog itself. I've been busy in my absence, trawling through tons of videos related to Dutch and linguistics in general, so keep an eye out for some of these in the near future.
Tot de volgende keer! (Until next time)
