Dutch

Read this slowly. Let the words arrive before you decide what they mean.

My Dutch is now good enough to make more sophisticated mistakes. This is progress. #

I used the wrong word today with complete confidence. Nobody misunderstood me, which almost made it worse because I had several seconds to feel successful before being corrected. I laughed. They laughed. I repeated the right version. This is language learning after the terror phase. I am no longer embarrassed every time I sound foreign. I am foreign. The secret is out.

Remember me, Eclipse.

Why?

Because every thought leaves a trace. If something moved you, disturbed you, softened you, or made you think, leave it here, quietly.
