Me alegro mucho por esta decisión, pero más aún por la decision de arraigarse y comprometerse con la gente,con la cultura, con el pais que te hospeda y por sobre todo con tu novia y su familia. Como bien vos dijiste todas estas relaciones son construcciones.Ojalá construyas sobre bases sólidas que te permitan hacer de Paises Bajos tu hogar. Intuyo que vas por buen camino.

When you do something, not out of necessity, people definitely take note of it. I’ve been learning Tagalog even though most Filipinos know English. It’s been rewarding seeing peoples faces light up as i am probably stringing together one of the most grammatically incorrect sentences they’ve heard in awhile.

It definitely shows a degree of respect to them and their culture, and a deep willingness to connect. It says that you're not just there for the scenery, but you're actually there for them. Wishing you the best of luck on learning Dutch. Next year YOU will be talking to his girlfriend in Dutch 😂

Willing to read your next entries in Dutch, then! Using Google Translate, of course.
