Charles and I are going to start trying to learn Dutch. We found an 8 week beginner course in Rotterdam offered at this school. It starts Monday. I am pretty excited because I feel incredibly guilty walking around speaking English to everyone and wondering what everything means.
Not knowing the local language can also be hazardous. Yesterday Charles learned the Ducth word for "fish" when he accidentally got fish soup for lunch thinking it would be a tomoato bisque from the appearance. He hates seafood.
I also downloaded an audio program for my iPod called VocabuLearn. It is supposed to teach you basic vocabulary words, but there is no focus on grammar or language structure. I figure listening to something like this will make my morning train commute more productive.

Do they make that program in Russian or French? That is a beautiful view from your balcony!
