"Much to learn you still have"

For the past week I've noticed that the surrounding "white noise" of the spoken word is starting to diffuse as my understanding increases and it feels fabulous!

My vocabulary is limited just now, but it's amazing how much you can communicate with such a small number of words.

Luckily for me, I have a very supportive Flem who does well to disguise her giggles when my attempt at Dutch sounds more akin to Yoda-speak - "Exam passed did I..." From now on please just refer to me as "Master" ;-)
