Sarah says:Today Heidi and I were on our "daily" walk in Kortrijk and we ran into a parade of Socialists marching against Belgium splitting up into Wallonia and Flanders - so for Belgium staying together as one country. We are all for Belgium staying just as it is with it's 3 official languages and its various divisions. So we marched right along with them on this sunny day! It was actually getting too hot outside for my sweater and coat. Can you imagine - a whole week of great weather! This is fabulous. I will take another walk in a few hours to soak up more sun. I have some errands to do in the center so rather than drive, I'll walk all afternoon and get some exercise whilst at it.
Tonight I start my Dutch conversation lessons. I'm really excited. I so look forward to having more confidence in Dutch - finally! I mean it's been 11 years that I have lived here. It's really time. Too bad this article out today says that a lot of foreigners drop out of Dutch language courses and never better their Dutch skills in the end. I hope I persevere! I really plan to. I'll report back tomorrow on how it all went. I also look forward to meeting other non-native Dutch speakers in the class. Who knows, maybe I'll make a new friend! It's been so long since I have been a student. It will be tiring but worthwhile I'm sure!
