Tristano's log 2017: Wanderland in the Netherlusts
Posted: Tue Dec 27, 2016 10:55 pm
The 2016 has been a crazy year for me. I settled down with my Dutch girlfriend in a very Dutch place far from the expat bubble and put all my efforts in learning Dutch (succeeding) and having a very good start with my Dutch company where I have to dial, read, wrote and breath Dutch everyday, week after week.
The 2017 is going to be even more crazy, because I'm becoming daddy very very soon!
Short background.
Native language: Italian
Known languages: English (C1ish), Dutch (b2), French (b2ish), Spanish (b1ish)
Target languages for 2017: Hebrew, Russian
- Hebrew, started because of an Israeli colleague, I'm at the end of pimsleur 1. At the end of Pimsleur 3 I'm going to have a check out point: I'll try one Italki lesson and see how it goes. Probably it will be enough for my purposes, for now. I don't have big plans for this language. If I reach a a2 spoken only I can consider myself satisfied.
- Russian is a different story. It is my current language love. Got rid of my little project with Hebrew, I'll go through Pimsleur and Michel Thomas, the new penguin Russian, russianpod101 and assimil, to move to more advanced stuff later on. But no real plans, honestly: I aim to progress. What I will reach will be all good to me.
