Thank you, Ria, for your patience, flexibility, and positive mental attitude. We have had some difficult lessons for me to understand, and without your encouragement, there were times when I thought it was going to be too tough to master and was close to giving up. Your insight and experience made a huge difference in those tough times, and today I can happily say, I am only looking forwards; I am over the difficult hill, and my ability to communicate in Dutch grows stronger each week.
