True, I was the only pinoy in my dutch class with two others from Asia. One from Japan and another one from China..uh' chinese are everywhere.. We are 18 in the class and almost 7 are from Africa..I really dont know which country because they can't speak English so I suspect the came from Congo or parts in Kenya, and the rest were from France, Turkey, Germany, and other part of Europe.
Its just something new if you are in a group of different races, something like you have to present your own race, culture, etc. so in a group like this you have to be visible...Our teacher is speaking English and then French because others cant understand English they speak French and we are lucky sa Filipinos because our tonque is very much versatile so compared to other races when it come to pronunciation, we have a very big edge especially that Dutch are very intricate to pronounce.
The picture was the building of the Language Class for foreign speakers, It was a huge old building but the facilities were uttery up to date...I havent really started to know them better but a girl from Germany, Michelle wants to study Dutch for the academic year in October cause she will take up Medicine..and Turkish pips are still struggling to find cheaper places to stay. But all in all it was a very new experience. After 6 weeks, well see what will happen, maybe Ill write this blog in Dutch already...
Tot ziens.
