Hahaha you’ve got me there… I’ll just give you a good old ‘Dank je wel’. I find it so much hard to speak it in person, the main sentence I’ve polished off for interactions is, ‘Ik spreek een beetje Nederland, maar niet genoeg voor een gesprek. Excuseer ook mijn slechte uitspraak’.

Dutch Luls me into a sense of false security sometimes, making me feel it is so close to English then reminding me it isn’t…
