Transcript

Let's go! You speak Dutch very well. Je spreekt zeer goed Nederlands. I finally feel comfortable speaking Dutch. Ik voel me eindelijk op mijn gemak als ik Nederlands spreek. I'm not sure what being fluent in Dutch even means. Ik weet niet zeker wat vloeiend Nederlands spreken betekent. I feel comfortable speaking and expressing myself in Dutch. Ik voel mij op mijn gemak bij het spreken en uitdrukken in het Nederlands. But there are always things that I don't understand.

Maar er zijn altijd dingen die ik niet begrijp. I think there's always more to learn. Ik denk dat er altijd meer te leren valt. I think there will always be some Dutch speakers that I don't fully understand. Ik denk dat er altijd wel Nederlandstaligen zullen zijn die ik niet helemaal versta. That might be true in English, too! Dat zou in het Engels ook zo kunnen zijn! Sometimes I feel like I'm a different person in Dutch than I am in English.

Soms heb ik het gevoel dat ik in het Nederlands een ander persoon ben dan in het Engels. I love who I am in both languages! Ik hou van wie ik ben in beide talen!
