Koen Hufkens, PhD on Nostr: I'm in The Netherlands, and I'm speaking Dutch, my mother tongue, in day-to-day ...
I'm in The Netherlands, and I'm speaking Dutch, my mother tongue, in day-to-day conversations. It feels... weird. Then I realized that aside 2 months in early 2020 (just before being locked in a box due to COVID) I've been abroad for 10 years now, and mostly if not exclusively speaking Dutch to family only.
So, me having to navigate a restaurant in Dutch now feels weirder than dealing with Swiss German or French. Wild.
