 I have not spoken or written in English for ages. To try to work properly in the Netherlands, I have only spoken Dutch for some time. I still read all the books in English. The problem with only reading without practice speaking is, that only the vague sounds are left in your memory. I am doing this with a dictionary on my knees, but wierd mistakes will always slip in.  Thanks for being so gentle.  |

Take no notice of the grammar police - I'll give that Kate a good spanking next time she picks on you!
I do a fair bit of business with Dutch folk and most of the buggers speak better Inglish than what I does.  Stop the Holy See men! |

Don't worry. I have no problem with that, as long as noone take bad English as a sign of retardation.
My two daughters (6 and 8) are starting to mock at my Dutch at home now. I am expecting to lose all of my little authority soon. |
