This week, I gave first presentation in Dutch (I'm originally British) for my colleagues.

Mutilated the language (het spijt mij!), but was apparently understandable!

Goed bezig! :)

I'm having a hard time presenting, let alone doing it in a language that's not native to me. Well done!

You are so brave! I’d be really nervous speaking in another language. Kudos to you!

Thanks! It felt great to finally do, if a little scary! The upside is that it was for non technical people and my technical Dutch is awful, so I had to keep it simple!

My mother is native Dutch. I asked her to translate my LinkedIn, because, I'd love to work in Europe... I was unceremoniously rebuffed. De pijn is echt!

Dankjewel voor de moeite.
