Hoje é dia 23 de novembro, (23. dia da missão) já consigo falar muitas coisas em holandês, embora a escrita e leitura ainda deixem a desejar, pois o foco de meu estudo ainda seja na fala.
Today is November 23, (23. Day of the mission) now I can speak a lot of things in Dutch, although the writing and reading are not good enough, because the focus of my study is still in conversation..
In another post I reported that the greatest difficulty in my studies was the Dutch pronunciation, but I must confess that the pronunciation is not a big problem with the right method, in the case Michel Thomas, but the word-order is really a great difficulty, the logic of thought in Dutch is really different from the order of Portuguese and other languages, but very close to German.
See this simple example:
I want to speak to you. Ik wil met je spreken.
