Something of a followup to this post.
Upon questioning my father regarding my Dutch literacy, I surprisingly received an answer:
“Bonjour my son…yes you did…I distinctly remember we were down in Roermond one day when a couple stopped us and asked us a question…I apologised and explained as best I could that we were anglais [sic] and didn’t understand…after the smiled and walked away you yanked my coat and said ‘Dad they were asking……..’ and we were astonished just how much Dutch you knew.”
I don’t know. I guess I’m not good at most things, so it does boost my confidence somewhat that at least I have this going for me.
I put it down to simple human empathy, but feel free to adorn me with further positivity.
Do stay in touch, darlings.
Toodles!
