RE: Integrating in the Netherlands and the Cultural Differences

in #life7 years ago

first of all, I admire your courage to move to another country and integrate... (i can relate)
Portuguese and Dutch are really far apart (i know, I am from Belgium and lived in Portugal for 4 years and live in Switzerland now) but with your skill in English it should be a bit easier
Just do not give up, you seem like a nice couple and the Dutch can use a bit of Brasilian influence...

Hey, nice comment. It took me a lot of courage to move to Holland indeed, I thought in the beginning I wouldn't stand longer than a couple of weeks, but here I am! I just arrived home from my Dutch class feeling quite motivated! Haha
By the way, do you speak Portuguese?
And thank you so much!

nao no fala portugeis... I understand a lot more then I speak and I definitely cannot write it.
learning new languages is never a bad thing... it helps you everywhere
