| | Dutch in Basel
Dear EFers, I am not the kind who ask all the time for favours. Nowadays, however, I really miss speaking Dutch - I was wondering if there are Nederlanders in Basel up for something involving speaking and exchanging in Dutch.
I am fluent, it's about keeping up and refreshing, not learning. (one always learns in a way, but you understand what I meant) And frankly, it's also about being social and a good chat with educated people.

I'm a dutch speaker, well more or less (semi native speaker). If you ever find yourself in Fribourg you can give me a shout for a chat in het nederlands |

I met with a Dutch friend this morning, she told me about a new social group for Dutch speakers. They will be meeting at 7.30pm in Paddy's (maybe in the new room upstairs) this Friday, any Dutch speakers welcome. If I get any more details I will post them. Hope this helps.

It is like you read my mind Faltrad, I am not native but I want to practice the Dutch I do know. My husband is Dutch so we might pop up this Friday...I think I really want to take some refresher classes!
Any one knows of a good teacher???

Sorry I can't make it... fever tonight. I shouldn't have gone to work in the first place, but that's another debate. I stay in - I would love to hear more about Dutch meetings in Basel.
Bedankt en prettige kerstdagen!

I am reaching out... trying hard not to stay in bed with herb tea the whole week. A cold, no drama.
PM sent, my guess is that one should rather not write Dutch in here.

Aah for the few friendly words of dutch/flemish we write here, it won't harm anyone
beside that, maybe it will bring out more dutch and flemish people out of the woodworks on EF |

| | Re: Dutch in Basel Moet ik nu ook bewijzen dat ik de taal machtig ben voordat Nederlanders en Vlammingen zich te melden durven?
Shall I now also prove that I really speak the language before Dutch and Flemish people dare to reply? Geloof het wie dat wil, maar ik was toen zelfs leraar Duits in Amsterdam. Ik kan niet zeggen dat ik in mijn hoofd die twee talen makkelijk uitelkaar kan houden. Maar ik doe mijn best.
Believe it or not, I even was teaching German in Amsterdam at that time. I can't say that I easily can keep these two languages clearly distinct in my head, but I do my best.

| | Re: Dutch in Basel
ach, jullie zijn toch "vlamingo's"
(word play Flemish/Flamingo, it works in dutch due to spelling ambiguity v/f)
There was this language and spelling game on tv, Flanders against Netherlands. Usually, the Flemish always win.
