Fortunately for you, most people here also speak English. All you need to learn at first is to say "good morning", "goodbye" and "thank you" in Dutch; you can (and will) learn the rest once you get here. With a bit of effort, after a year you will speak Dutch as if you have spoken it all your life. (Although there is no telling how long it will take you to get rid of that American accent.) >You are welcome to stop by an visit.

Yep. :-) Jeroen _________________________________________________________________________ Wonderful World of Brin-L Website: http://www.Brin-L.com Tom's Photo Gallery: http://tom.vanbaardwijk.com
