Het land van

I took my Dutch test on Tuesday to see if I will advance to the second level. I think I did pretty well and I will know for sure today! I actually can’t wait to advance to the next level because everything is so much better now that I can understand some sentences, I can use some basic Dutch at the supermarket or in a cafe and I can listen to a song and get the gist of it. Speaking of, here is my latest Dutch discovery: a song called “Het land van” (The land of) by Lange Frans and Baas B. It basically describes every aspect of the Netherlands. I learned a lot from this song. It made me research Pim Fortuyn, Theo van Gogh, Balkenende, Abe Lenstra and much more. You can listen to the song below and can see the lyrics and the English translation here: http://tulips-and-tomatoes.deviantart.com/journal/Het-Land-Van-lyrics-English-and-Dutch-320863597

I hope you enjoy it!

Till the next post.

Much love,
