Re: Tristano's log 2015 (principally Dutch but not only)
I spoke the whole last weekend in Dutch with my girlfriend and I'm starting again to have italki lessons.
Yesterday my (new) teacher told me that I'm one of the two best students he ever had (for the ability to speak Dutch) and told me that I'm probably B1. I feel much more A2esque, especially if I compare the listening skill with the ones in my other languages. My vocabulary is growing and this is making also the difference. I need to refine my grammar.
Ik heb de hele vorige weekend in Nederlands met mijn vriendinne gesproken en ik begin weer italki lessen te nemen.
Gisteren vertelde me mijn leraar dat ik een van zijn twee best studenten ben (vanwege de vermogen on Nederlands spreken) en hij heeft verteld me dat ik mogelijk B1 ben. Ik voel me veel meer A2esque, vooral als ik mijn luistering vermogen met die van mijn andere talen vergelijk. Mijn vocabulaire is aan het verhoogen en dat ook maakt het verschil. Ik moet mijn grammatica verbeteren.

Re: Tristano's log 2015 (principally Dutch but not only)
So! I resisted wanderlust (or maybe I didn't have time for that and I'm pretending that I have high self-control).
My main focus remains Dutch but I'm not inactive with French and Spanish.
Not totally at least I bought three books: la comida en 15 minutos and la comida en 30 minutos from Jamie Oliver and La piramide de la salud, original title De voedselzandlooper of which my girlfriend owns a copy allowing me to do parallel reading in Spanish/Dutch once I read the Spanish version.
I also started to cook using Dutch recipes (or to better say, recipes in Dutch).
I'm also restarting taking singing lessons in Dutch and listen NOS buitenland during the commutations.
Too less time to spend on book, but I love that at this point I can cheat compressing the time putting the language into practice.
Talking about wanderlust, Duolingo Russian is almost complete

Re: Tristano's log 2015 (principally Dutch but not only)
My Dutch is steadily improving
I had no problems at all to communicate during my singing lesson whilst the same thing three months ago was pretty difficult.
It must be because of all that brood met smeerbare roomboter, pindakaas en hagelslag that I ate during these three months.

I have the illusion that I'm understanding much more when I listen to Dutch podcasts.
